Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United StatesThere was an old, dirty band-aid in our bedsheets which made me wonder if they had been washed. Also had a hard time getting towels for showers.
Very conveniently located in downtown Canmore. Easy to walk to and from nearby bars and restaurants.

GermanyCleanliness of kitchen sink. Loud beeping of access code pads to get into the rooms (avoidable with earplugs). Small and not really comfy common areas.
The bathroom and room were clean. Shampoo, shower gel and conditioner were provided in the showers, always enough soap and toilet paper. Very easy check-in and check-out. Wasn't as loud as expected from the bar below the hostel, so you could sleep very well (maybe because we stayed there during winter and during weekdays).

CanadaNeed more options for female-only, didn't feel overly safe with one of our roommates and he was very inconsiderate. One bed was also missing a curtain which would have been terrible if I hadn't asked to switch. I think the space is too small to be considered a "party hostel". Doesn't really allow people who want quieter time to get it.
The location was absolutely awesome and the staff was super friendly. It was also very clean.

I liked the people that were their, met two wonderful ladies and that we can keep our own food/cook whenever we want. The location was beautiful! Right in downtown. For the price of two nights it wasn't so bad!

CanadaThe unlocked 🔓 door into my room frontdoor even didnt work ..and over packed rooms with to much air freshners leaking on everything was gross and was right by my head i unplugged it as my lungs 🫁 couldn't handle it I am Is asthmatic but that's besides the point. Some girls' bf were staying in the lobby for free clearly on drugs, and I mean, we know it's a party hostel but clearly not a trap hostel location. Very odd stuff is going on . Few things I definitely don't recommend paying for .spent most of my time in the suv to do my reading as it doesn't give you that warm chill vibe like some locations It's nice to see the kitchen done better as it's just thrown to the wolves with no structure. Be cool to have the lobby not look like it's a homeless shelter .If you're going to run a hostel in the heart of a beautiful mountain town. Then, use some of your money to put it back into the building. This is a place where people are excited to travel not be grossly disappointed. Granted half the people are drunk so you don't notice but still room for improvement. Thanks for the stay
The location is perfect 🥰. Staff were helpful when you could locate them .meeting nice fellow travelers is always a plus .

United KingdomNot very clean, the curtains around the bunk beds are falling off and the locks on the doors going into each dorm make a lot of noise. The showers also get cold in the evening. The hostel itself feels old and in need of an upgrade.

AustraliaUnfortunately the kitchen was a mess. There is also no reception desk and no one attending the guests, which is probably why the kitchen isnt cleaned by guests regularly. Trying to call or message isn’t the best option as it can take hours or next day response. I think there must be someone at the property so that guest can go to for any issues.
The location is everything. Right in the middle of village near shops. Rooms and bathrooms are clean.

United KingdomWomen's bathroom was not clean. No sanitary bins (?!) and one main communal bin not emptied which was overflowing with dirty nappies, used sanitary products and all sorts. "Local live music" was terrible. No staff there at all meaning no help and also had none of the communal friendly hostel atmosphere you'd usually find. Also security on main door was poor- we were able to just walk in before our booking as the keypad on the front door was not in use and therefore just open to anyone. Disappointing.
Centre of town location is great. Cleanliness of room itself was fine.

CanadaThe fact that poor people have to resort to staying in hostels because there is no housing in Canada. Kudoos to the hostel for welcoming them. That is not a criticism of the hostel. Everywhere I travel I see poverty and Struggle.
