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.).

IndiaThe room in which I stayed was crammed with beds and there was some free space at all. Plus it had a wash basin which had a leaky tap which was very annoying at the night.
The hostel had a small kitchen, but inspite of the size of the kitchen it had a very lively and social environment.

United KingdomThe bed isn't very comfortable. I only stayed there for one night, but it might be an issue for someone staying longer.
The hostel is very safe; I stayed in a female-only room. Each room is equipped with lockers that come with keys, and the doors require a passcode for access. They also provide towels, and there is a shared bathroom for both toilets and showers in the same corridor. I was able to leave my bag in the locker for free the day after my stay. Additionally, they offer complimentary drinks and coffee throughout the day, along with a free breakfast each morning.

SwedenThere are no real drawbacks if you understand you're staying in a hostel, and lodging in Switzerland tends to be expensive.
The hostel boasts an excellent location, within walking distance of most Zurich attractions. There's a rarely utilized common room available for meetings, and numerous restaurants are nearby. The ground floor bar offers a 20% discount. All lockers come with padlocks, including those in the common room for pre-check-in and post-checkout use. Towels are provided, and the building is easy to locate. While the breakfast is simple, they prefer not to call it a full breakfast. The owner is helpful.

GreeceI mean, it is a hostel. It's clean, has wifi, some breakfast, maybe the check in time. I arrived at 11 am and I had to wait until 15:00 although there was enough space to leave my stuff in a safe, so I went out to have a walk. Not really a problem for me but it would have been perfect if I could.
Fantastic location. Value for money (for Zurich prices) Nice owner and stuff.

GermanyThe furniture could be a bit more modern.
Overall, it was a standard hostel, which was very clean, with enough space for everyone, and the staff was friendly. The breakfast consisted of just toast and muesli, but considering the price, it was fine. However, there are some negative comments that I completely disagree with. The hostel experience was similar to any other, and people shouldn't expect their towels to be folded like a swan every day. The best aspect: Its central location couldn't be better!
