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.).

ItalyNothing that come to my mind straight away
The kindness of the staff, the interior design of the hostel and the cleanness. Moreover I love the fact that the staff requires the personal food to be put on a basket with an easy-to-apply label where name, room and check-out date shall be written on. The care of the little details is definitely there.

CanadaCouldn't remember if key goes in both locks. Only did top and still locked out. Was glad someone still up and let me in. Will ask on that next time.
Enjoyed my last stay and prefer hostels because only care about having bed. This time, I was in basement and it has a welcoming atmosphere down there that didn't expect. Was glad event went over for was right across street. So stumbling back wasn't a worry (even though watched my drink limit). Note: picture is Obie Trice at Bloom

CanadaIt concerned me a bit that we were asked to strip the bottom and top sheet, but not the duvet cover. I'm a bit concerned they don't wash those regularly? Stripping the sheet also exposed a pretty grubby mattress.
Super cosy and homely, kitchen space with everything you need, walking distance to everything you need in town. Friendly staff.

CanadaIt's an old building so, to be expected, it's a little creaky. The front door closing reverberated loudly in our room. I was a little concerned at first, but otherwise it was a very quiet night and we slept soundly.
Convenient location downtown. Friendly staff. Clean common area and kitchen. Well suited for our purposes, would not hesitate to stay again.

United KingdomThe bunk beds are generally really low, I could look down on someone sleeping in the top bunk if I was stood up (and I'm only 5ft 7!), pretty uncomfortable sitting on the bottom bunk, was always scrunched. The dorm I was in was 8 bed, the booking was just for "1 bed in a dorm" and doesn't tell you it's 8 bed, 6 bed, 4 bed etc so not sure there's a choice. Parking is round the back and only fits 5 cars so not a lot (there's free street parking outside of 9-5 so that might help). Not a dislike but I didn't realise it was a HI hoste until I got there, they should advertise it as such, it might get more people that way!
Location is great, it's at one end of downtown. Staff are super friendly, shoes off hostel, clean. Bathroom was a proper bathroom - nice and big (but also means the 16 people on that floor are after it if unlucky timing). They had a fire in the front and it was so cozy, there's also 3 other sitting areas.

CanadaRooms were incredibly tight to move round in especially the private 4 bed bunk. We were a 3 and with all our bags we couldn’t really move around each other in the room.
Really clean, really nice for what you pay. Decent kitchen to use as well.
