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.).

Sweden* pillows are super thin; they give no support at all * kitchen and washing up are is very very small. Not a fault of the hostel, just the way it is.
My third or fourth time here. The good: * staff are super helpful and nice * breakfast is good, if a bit pricey * ensuite bathroom in dorms and plenty of extra bathrooms and sinks for all * good privacy curtains that cover well * rooftop terrace * great location!

United KingdomAll good :)
Room was basic, but sheets were clean and bed was comfortable. The building is beautiful, the terrace was lovely and the breakfast was fresh cooked Eggs and pancakes for roughly £2 which was fine. Very good value for money. Shared bathroom was clean and there was hot water in the shower. That’s everything I needed!

SwitzerlandThe kitchen could be a bit bigger and better organised. The hot water takes it's time to come in the common shower.
I really like the place : it's in an old beautiful building of la Candelaria, very well situated, there is an amazing rooftop, very nice and helpful staff, the room was very economic and had everything one needs (excepted windows maybe^^). The common spaces inside are beautiful as well. I'd go back there!

United KingdomWe were woken up by loud hostel guests on our second night who were shouting between 2am and 4am which wasn't the best, but earplugs drown out the worst of it.
The private room was lovely. Really comfy bed, extra blankets if it's chilly, high ceiling and big window. The staff were so friendly and helpful too. We had breakfast included in our stay and it's so good! Fruit, omelette and bread, perfect start to the day.

DenmarkPaper thin walls. Could hear the person in the next room snore at night. Only a thin white curtain to cover the window in the door.
Breakfast included on the roof top terasse was freshly prepared each day. A bit cold up there though, would have preferred to have my breakfast indoors. Really good location for walking around. The staff was super friendly and helpful.

NetherlandsJust to inform others but I didn't mind at all about any of the next things! It's not possible to print any ticket but literally next door the little shop does it for you! Same if you want a colombian sim card. Easy and quick! The doors of the rooms stay open the whole time.. eventually you can ofc lock it but it's quiet inconvenient, especially if you have roommates because the reception needs to give the master key to get in again. Everyone has their own spacious locker under the bed, bring a lock! Low pressure of the shower but it's ok! Quiet noisy room especially in the Early morning when the traffic on the street starts. it's an old building.
I like the style of the hostel, they have different type of rooms, reception 24/7 and free activities every night in the terrace, open with a nice menu for dinner and cheap breakfast! Terrace where you can chill during the day or evening and meet new people! The hotel was quiet cleaned and the room too! In the city center. Best location ever, close to any attraction or museums you want to visit. At the reception are super nice, polite and patience! The room was big with a nice view on the Monserrate! Private clean little bathroom with hot water! Comfy beds with curtains. Maybe a little desk, some personal hanger for a towel for example and a mirror would complete the simple room! Don't forget to get the Arepa from the old man just outside the hotel across the street... Delicious!

United KingdomThe building is a bit of a maze and the staff didn’t tell me anything about the facilities or common spaces, you just had to find them. Overall, I felt a bit neglected, which isn’t the best feeling when you arrive solo to a new country. Also, the layout of the bathroom in my ensuite was awkward.
Good value for money and in a great location in the heart of all the cafes, galleries and museums. The building has a lot of character and the rooftop is great (when you finally find it)! Plus, the bed was clean and comfortable.
