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.).

CanadaLocation is tough to get to by car but that's the way the roads are in Kelowna I guess (entering from the south is easy but not from the North or West!
Padlock for the locker would be a good idea! Staff were very helpful and polite. Parking was easy and fare price.

CanadaThoughtless noise making after 8 pm. The organization of the kitchen sucked as I'd search every cupboard and drawer to find pot lids, steak knives & I'd hoped there'd be salt and oil for my cooking needs too. There was spices that I can not use, so it was strange. A fellow cleaning up at breakfast time however gave me his salt shaker to use, making it much nicer to enjoy my meal.
Location is at the busiest, noisiest intersection where Harvey begins connecting the entire south Okanagan & West Kelowna. My Private room would of been great otherwise, but at 71 sleeping in the noisiest Trans Canada Highway 97 SUCKED; plus staff of people where tinkering around making noises every few minutes. At 8:30 pm when I need to relax to ready for a good sleep a handyman was busy knocking around in the building storage room on the second floor where we sleep. I told him I was trying to ready for sleep and he was dead surprised I heard him . My room was just across the hall and down one room from his Gyproc and cleaning room. And then he didn't stop for sometime. The same guy was busily spraying toxic paint fumes on the patio where the warm spring sun was so inviting. He was at the far end but not far enough from the over-spray and no warning he was doing it! THAT could of caused a dangerous reaction amongst people, especially when one can't avoid the air born spray paint. THAT should never ever happen. He could do that later when no one is outside; and his gyproc closet should of been accessed between 12pm -3 pm!

CanadaThey don't clean. They tidy. The floor is filled with dust. My bed was filled with hair on arrival. Its just how it is there. There are only volunteers to clean so they can't do that big place alone. Also that for months they said they have free breakfast and it's not true. Breakfast has been removed and price has increased. They need to stop advertising that.
Location, ppl at desk nice, big kitchen, previously the price, but now it's gone up a lot

Czech RepublicThere is a big problem with credit card. I had to fill a paper for everyone in my reservation and write data of my credit card on the paper (not safe for me). It is not normal, because in the rest of the world is not common to have a credit card. We had one for reservation so I think it is enough.
Accomodation and staff were fine

AustraliaThe rules changed since the last time I stayed there. Before it was parking and breakfast included. This time no breakfast and $10 parking. There were extra fees for everything including after hours issues. $20 if you needed help in the night. It must be new management. I will not stay again.

CanadaI have to say that I don't like the location very much. It is just besides the highway, so quite noisy at night! and I was charged extra for parking which was not mentioned on the booking.com website. but 50$ for 7 nights, which was not too bad.
It is always good to make new friends staying at a hostel, I made a really good friend there, and we had a lot of fun together.

United KingdomThere's ac in the room but it's right by the head of the bottom bunk, I opened the window but the room faced the highway and was very busy and loud throughout the night and morning (lots of trucks etc). Looks like the free breakfast was only pancakes which isn't great if you're tight on time. The staff couldn't give many recommendations for things though (but he said he was a bit new). There was a "security issue" I didn't get many details but they said someone had gotten in. They tried to address it though by changing the code and the manager personally checking who came in from a list. You have to pay for parking but I just left the car on the residential streets behind the hostel (2hrs allowed and free outside of 8-5pm).
Location is good, right by downtown area. Facilities were pretty good but not great. Pretty roomy in the dorm.
