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.).

GermanyBeds are a bit short for tall people, I (188cm) could not stretch my legs completely.
Wonderful location within unspoiled wilderness Well maintained hostel with clean and modern bathrooms, very spacious and generous public spaces and very friendly and helpful staff. Internet connection available during some hours in the evening (special service in very remote location) I have donated my bear spray to reception. It is absolutely recommended to carry it with you when hiking during bear season. Bring your own. If you travel by plane ask at reception to borrow my one, or buy it at the visitor information.

CanadaNot enough signage on the road to easily find the place. Good initially, but the last turn was not marked. Drove right by it looking for a sign.
It was clean and well equipped. The hostess was very friendly, there was quite a bit of information available regarding the surrounding area and the location was great.

NetherlandsNothing really. We had a private room and I preferred this over most hotels during our canada trip.
The Kananaskis Wilderness Hostel was the perfect hostel experience for us. The hostess was extremely friendly and went out of her way to explain a lot about the area and she accommodated an evening campfire. The hostel itself was very clean. The showers and bathrooms were clean and properly equipped. The beds were comfortable enough and linnen and towels were available. The area around Kananaskis hostel was quite beautiful with great hikes, lakes and waterfalls.

SpainAs it is a common room you can hear the other guests, but this is normal in a hostel. Depending on your plans for the area, consider the location of the site to see if it suits you or not.
The best hostel I have ever stayed in. Very well equipped kitchen, big fridge, shower and toilets clean. Everything neat and tidy. I would repeat. Excellent value for money.

We had a great stay. Great value for the cost, comfortable beds, very clean, and quiet environment with nice kitchen for preparing meals. Easy to reach and close enough that we were able to get to the trailhead in Canmore nice and early. The manager Nancy was very helpful and friendly. The bonus is a large communal firepit for starry nights.
