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.).

ItalyThe power plugs in the rooms are inside the closets, which is almost always a bit annoying.
Great staff, vibes, bar, and common area. Very comfortable beds. Everything is very clean. They offer many activities (not the cheapest ones though). Beautiful terrace. The location is convenient. Check out el candelario club on fridays and saturdays, you wont regret it.

SwedenLots of organized activities, amazing facilities and staff. It's easy to meet people and interact with them at the bar of the entrance. The pods I was in had all I needed for charging the phone and storing stuff. Toilets and showers always available and super clean. Ideal location with many amenities and attractions nearby. 5 stars 🤩

The quintessential hostel. A place to meet new friends, try new things and feel the pulse of the neighborhood. We stayed in a private room, but everywhere looked clean and bright. The sleeping areas were expertly placed away from the communal areas so even when people stayed up late, we couldn’t hear any noise from our room.

United StatesTravelers who come back in the middle of the night really should see a flashing electric sign saying please whisper instead of talking loudly.
The staff were especially great. All of the staff in the front spoke English, some of them very well. Everyone was helpful. Maybe it's the friendly atmosphere that helped travelers be friendly with each other. There was a heavy door that blocked the noisy common area from the quiet sleeping area at night. Even the loud electric hand dryer at the washing sinks turns off between 9:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m.

United KingdomThe shared bathrooms were often a little unclean and with no toilet roll but think that was down to other guests not the hostel. But they could maybe be checked more regularly.
Good location to the old town, National museum of Colombia and the start of the Monserrate hike, lots of social activities you can do each day, amazing bar which serves breakfast and dinner with lots of options (including healthy ones) which is convenient. Friendly and helpful staff, nice welcome reception area with lounge. We stayed in a private room and it was cosy with nice furnishings. Overall great stay and would recommend - one of the best hostels we’ve stayed in.
