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 StatesIt’s an old building, so you can expect to hear noise, but it was quiet by 11pm at the latest. It would be nice if the downstairs area was more cozy to hang out and spend time in since the glass roof is so beautiful.
The location is great, the space is pretty comfortable and clean, the hot water and pressure in the shower is amazing. The breakfast is delicious and the coffee was so nice to have every morning. The best part is the staff. Very accommodating and friendly and easy to talk to. The common areas upstairs are very cozy.

CanadaNo complaints :)
This hostel is centrally located in the la Candelaria district. Easy to walk to endless restaurants, bars, shops, and attractions. We stayed in a private room, and it was clean, spacious, and comfortable. The common spaces were great as well - tables, chairs, outdoor patio etc. - lots of room to sit peacefully (read, work, daydream) or be social with other guests and staff. Overall, great value!

GermanyIt was a bit loud. On the one hand because our room was right next to the terrace and on the other hand because guests kept ringing at the door because there was no key for the outside door. A shelf in the bathroom would be good and a shelf for clothes too.
The location is perfect. The room was a pleasant size and very clean. The breakfast was delicious and you can sit outside on the roof terrace. All employees are very helpful and can always be reached immediately, at least by email or text message.

United StatesDO NOT STAY DOWNSTAIRS!!! For whatever godforsaken reason, the hostel cannot afford a new front door and lock! It is an absolute shame as the main issue with most of the reviews indicates NOISE, which is to say that their locking mechanism on their front entrance door creates a VIOLENT SLAMMING SOUND every single time, day or night, morning & evening when it opens and closes. If the property owners would only read the reviews, a simple solution to their ongoing problem could be solved in an instance; get a new lock and front door already! I am world traveler and have stayed in some of the most humble accommodations, this place is a great value, however, THEY MUST FIX THEIR NOISE PROBLEM! We stayed in Bogota for our last night in Colombia and it was a jarring experience to say the least even with earplugs. While this review may sound harsh, hah, pun intended, it is merely to point out the obvious to both travelers and the property owners alike. Fix the issue and you won’t hear anymore similar reviews — I would imagine!
The architecture and retrofitting of the old building gives this place some charm. The location is good, but you should be vigilante at night with where you go exploring. The staff is super helpful, kind, and welcoming! The rooms are comfortable and simple. The walls, windows, and wood beams tells a story of a different era!

GermanyThe fridge in the kitchen was not working which is a bummer if you like to cook. The breakfast was really boring. I got toast with butter, marmalade and raw scrambled eggs every morning with not variety whatsoever. There is also no vegan option, although you could eat toast with marmalade, of course (not sure though whether it is vegan there). The breakfast was only available after 8am, which is not handy if you leave early for a day trip. There is also not a good room to casually hang out at the Hostel. Additionally, some of the staff were occupying the living/dining room all day listening to music or watching movies and not paying attention to anything at all. Additionally, I would like to add that I had to pay more for some days than travelers who spontaneously went to the hostel at the same day and asked for a room. (Short info: I extended my stay and booked the additional days directly via the Hostel so no fees for booking.com can explain the price difference here).
I liked the good location as well as Carlos, who is really sympathic and with whom I had a nice chat! The other guests were really nice, too, and the staff was so kind to book a bicycle tour for me. Also, extending my stay wasn't an issue at all and I was able to move out quite spontaneously. The bathrooms were cleaned frequently and I got a new towel approximatively every three days. The hostel has a 24-hours reception which is handy if you come back from a party late at night, for example, because they can open the front door for you. There is a camera at the front door to make sure that no strangers can enter, thus giving you a good feeling about the security there. They also have lockers although you need to buy your own lock. Thanks.
