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 StatesA small fan in the room would have been nice....it was quite hot during our stay.
The room was good value for pricey Penticton. I liked the feel of the hostel and the common areas. The shower was good and we were thankful for it after a few days of dry camping. Location was good for us, because we had a car. But we were able to walk to pubs and restaurants.

GermanyI have nothing bad to say, everything was great 😃.
In general the accomodation in BC area is not great and extremely overpriced. This was the best hostel we stayed in and the most affordable one, but maybe it's because we were there in low season.

CanadaThe shower needs renovations. It was functional but definitely my least favorite part of the stay.
Location was great, steps away from the Main Street. The shared facilities (kitchen, dining area, living room, and outdoor area) were really nice. Affordable laundry (wash, dry, and detergent) available on-site.

CanadaThe booking app states they have ensuite bathrooms - this is not the case! Please, someone at the hostel make the time to clean the fridges or find a container system so that people contain their food messes.
As a hosteling experience this met most of our expectations. Bunk beds were comfortable, communal area was very large.

Canada1. We booked a family room, but didn't get it (1 double bed and one bunk bed, we were given a 6-seater dorm) 2. We paid for 6 beds when we only needed 3, it could not be changed due to some flaw on the Booking.com side 3. We ended up paying almost $400 for 2 nights of stay for three people, that's a lot for a hostel 4. We didn't get the free parking since all 3 were taken. 5. One of the washrooms was not functional, so that's a bummer. 6. The rooms were below average for a hostel in today's time and age. The rooms didn't have a charging slot near the bed nor private reading light.
The hostel staff was very nice and polite, prompt in their action as well. The location is excellent, it takes 10 mins of walk to Okanagan lake beach and most of the downtown center. There are 3 free parking slots available inside the hostel, but that's pretty much it. Hostel is well maintained and washrooms are clean. The kitchen is stocked and big size.
