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 KingdomI hadn’t realised that ‘private bathroom’ didn’t include the shower. This is outside the room . Not a huge problem but obviously you need to ‘cover up’ on the way back.
Good location. Very friendly helpful staff. A big well equipped kitchen with big tables for eating. Useful onsite laundry at $4 a load for washing , another $4 for drying. Smallish room with nowhere to store clothes but that’s ok- it’s a hostel .

CanadaMy only complaint: Very poor signage to the office/entrance!!! The only (small) sign to indicate the entrance to the building is hidden from the car park - up some stairs between 2 buildings, and behind a railing that blocks it out as you approach, and struggle with your luggage. One arrives at the only visible door (to the cafe) which has an "Exit only. Entrance on other side of building" sign - well, there are 4 sides to a building and "other side " usually means opposite side: nope! Not there. Trudged around for quite some time with our luggage, back and forth looking for this elusive door. Puh-lease! Put up more signs and/or a map to the office entrance at the carpark. No discount for HI members
One night stay prior to going into Skoki Lodge. Check-in was quick and easy. Close to Lake Louise mall for last minute food and sundries. Peyto cafe onsite was really handy with great food at reasonable prices - house salad was fresh and crisp, chilli was hearty. Communal kitchen in basement was bright and well-equipped, with 3 big fridges and bins to label and put your food in. Easy check-out; storage facility for luggage in basement area, with locks available to buy ($8) onsite.

AustraliaIt was not very clear from the room description that the "ensuite" is not actually an ensuite. it is a toilet and sink. you need to leave the room to shower so just be aware of that when you book.
The communal rooms are great and friendly. The kitchen facilities and restaurant really good.

CanadaCommunication from Booking site regarding the difference in price from renting a room for 1 person versus a dorm. Unexpected charges. I was not aware through communication that i was required to give 24 hour notice of early checkout prior to a family emergency (phone call that morning)

AustraliaExcellent hostel accom in a perfect location to experience Lake Louise. The facilities are simple but nice, everything is clean, orderly and well organised. There is a good cafe on site, or a self serve kitchen. Staff are very helpful and friendly, there is a tonne of info available on hikes and activites. There is a very pleasant 40 minute walk through the forest to get to the lake, and then a number of top day hike options once you get there. I did the Trail of the Glacier and the Little Beehive, they were both spectacular. Some of the best day hiking I have ever done. Great stay and place to visit, loved it.

CanadaThe doors are too loud opening and closing them. And since everything is made of wood one bang of the door even when it’s from the next door it’s shakes the room next door too.
I was staying in the annex cabin and the design is much more like a cottage than a hostel complex and I really love it!
