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.).

CanadaWe expected no showers, no running water and outhouses. The hostel compensated for this with a large water tank with a tap and heated water for dishes. The outhouses were spacious and clean. In other words, knowing what to expect made the experience great so there wasn't anything that I didn't like.
The quietness of the location. Rustic lodge with a very well organized and well equipped kitchen area. The lodge has a homey feel and the wood burning stove is great. A very relaxed atmosphere. Sleeping cabins have a heater.

CanadaNo toilet, would have been really good to have at least flush toilet. The inside is clean, but I just can't stand the smell of the toilet once opened. I understand about the shower, the drive to Jasper Hostel is fine, but to wake up in the middle of the night due to call of nature, but just trying to hold it because I don't like to go dispose in a smelly pit is very uncomfortable 😪. To have a flush toilet on site will be 5-star.
Common dining area is clean. Jennifer is very accommodating.

United KingdomI couldn't fault my stay here.... not even having a shower, it didn't bother me in the slightest!
There isn't anything to not like! I had such a great stay here and Jeff is so friendly, kind, helpful and really nice! The beds are comfy, the facilities are great, takes everything back to basics but in such a good way. Everyone that comes and stays has a great vibe and are there for the love of the Rockies. I cannot wait to come back!!

Czech RepublicIt should be taken into account that there are no showers and the toilets are dry. However, the hostel fairly points this out.
It is a hostel, but of a very good standard. I appreciated the possibility of using the common room where everything needed for cooking was. It was nice to spend an evening with people travelling around Canada in the same room. No need to worry.

CanadaThe snoring dorm mates were a bit of a bother but that's what one can expect at any hostel. Nothing to do with the establishment itself.
A very warm and welcoming hostel in the wild that makes you forget it's off grid by how well organized and maintained it is. You don't have to relinquish much comfort thanks to their solar-powered system. The common room and kitchen is very well equipped and homy.

CanadaObviously being a shared place and if you are a light sleeper you have a little trouble sleeping. However, there is a fixed schedule from 11 pm to 7 am where silence must be respected.
Everything is very clean, the place is very comfortable and perfectly organized; It also has very nice details in the decoration. For our first time in a hostel, we loved it.
