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 KingdomLuca really makes this place - he is incredibly helpful and suggested an itinerary that allowed me to see Yangshou and Xingpeng in a day given I had three days in Guilin and assisted with my bookings. The hostel also has a bar, which is ideal to meet other travellers. Happy I stayed here.

SpainThe bed was a little noisy, no problem at all on mid capacity but could become a concert on full capacity, bring earplugs and all should be fine. It's a hostel after all!

I really enjoyed my stay here, the hostel itself is clean, has a good location and a nice vibe. What really made my stay enjoyable was the staff. Kevin and the other boys were really helpful and couldn't do enough for me. They helped me book tickets and send postcards. They were also a great laugh and great company in the evenings. I would really recommend this hostel, for this reason alone.

RomaniaThere were five mosquitoes in our room, so we had to spend 45 minutes to hunt them all down. The staff didn't give us much information about the cruise, so we were left a bit in the dark. Also, the reception wouldn't open until 9 AM, but we were to check out and leave at 7.30 AM. It would have been very helpful to have more information on the cruise since they booked it for us: at least give us the website or even just the name of the company, so we could research a bit by ourselves as well, just to know what to expect.
The staff was nice. As soon as we checked in, they helped us book the cruise to Yangshuo and then showed us everything there was to do in Guilin. Their recommendations were great. The room was spacious and comfortable. There were many other foreigners, so it was a friendly atmosphere.

The hostel has a nice social vibe, and the reception doubles as a small bar with a good selection of craft beers and nice cocktails. Beds have curtains for when you need some privacy.

Hong KongThe shower rooms were small and it was hard to hang all my clothes on the wall. I wish there was more space with a shelf to make sure my clothes will not get wet during the shower.
Nice location. Staff are so friendly and helped us plan our trip. Cost-effective. There is a bar and a room where you can hang out with your friends. A lot of visitors are internationals so maybe you get to meet diverse range of people.

PolandNo cons in my opinion. It's a good standard for this price.
I really like the owner - Luka, and his employee - Lucy. They both speak English fluently and they are very helpful. Hostel is very cheap and located not far from the main attractions. I spent 3 nights in a dorm and I like it. Beds have curtains, so it is easy to separate from others if needed to fall asleep earlier.
