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.).

FinlandJust a small thing but in the kitchen the sensors should be placed differently because when you stop moving the lights turn off immediately and then you kinda have to sit in the dark. Also there is no proper couch in the common areas, I understands it's perhaps to stop people from sleeping there but it wasn't really possible to relax in the common area due to this.
Great location, facilities are cleaned multiple times per day, great view from room and rooftop, staff speaks good English. This is the best hostel I have stayed in Europe!

CanadaI came here to go hiking, which where I come from is safer using poles. When I asked if I could rent poles, the staff (who I now think were Polish) seemed to get mad.
This was an affordable place in an unaffordable tourist destination. The rooms were clean and beds comfortable enough.

GermanyEverything. From location, facilities, cleanliness, affordability everything is just perfect. Best in Interlaken. Easy check in and check out. Well equipped fully functional kitchen was available and the best part is the dining area and the views from there. The sanitation staff were polite. A note to people planning to stay here: respect the place and keep it clean especially the kitchen area. And try to separate your wastes ✌. Highly recommend

IndiaBeds just beyond horrible. Bathroom are good but it must be mentioned that they are not attached with the rooms.
Location excellent. Close from Interlaken OST and even closer from Interlaken WEST station(Walking distance 10 mins hardly) anyone who is travelling to stay at this property should get off and Interlaken west station and simply walk to hostel. Since the hostel has a self check in process no one was available at the reception, available on request though. But I suggest that atleast one representative must be available, as not everyone is that tech savy. Beds in the mixed dorms are beyond horrible makes too much noise while climbing up and while sleeping. Our room size hauntingly bad. Extremely small for 4 people to share. View from shared terrace is fabulous. Shared kitchen and meeting new people from various parts of the world. The bathrooms are good but unfortunately not attached with the rooms which was a huge disappointment. This should be mentioned at the booking page. So about 4 bathroom to shared with N numbers of guests which in our case was manageable but it must be mentioned. Beds I can't point out enough how bad they are. But still i can stay again at the property as overall experience was good. Common areas are good too.

United StatesThe table in the kitchen area could have been cleaner. The lighting in the communal area could be better too. The sounds coming from rooms above were noisy also while trying to sleep.
Location was great, close to the train station. Check in was easy and when our key cards wouldn’t work someone was there immediately to help. We appreciated that. Liked the ability to use the fridges for our food too.
