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 KingdomThere was no air con, there was breakfast included but I didn’t feel for me that there was much options available. The toilets are shared with a lot of people who don’t look after it while they stay, so often the floor was soaked and smelt (this isn’t anything bad in the property but maybe something in place to help keep it clean would help)
The staff were friendly & funny, they felt authentic, people whom just be themselves and not care what people think; which I enjoyed as it gave the place more personality. The location is the best o could have stayed in, central to all the museums, clubs and restaurants, travel etc: Staff were fluent in English which eased my stay

United StatesPersonally, the biggest problem I have with it is the rooms/bathroom. It's a hostel, so you're going to have to go in with lower standards than normal. If you get roomed with some frustrating people, then the overall experience is awful. However, if you get some better people, then the whole experience is elevated. It's entirely a roll of the dice. I'd say that if you're traveling with four or six people and can get an entire room for yourselves, then you'll be golden. But one or two people in a room of six can be unpleasant.
My go to place to stay in Berlin. Yes, it's a hostel and you will share a room with several people; but that's the fun of it all. The hostel is right in the heart of Berlin, walking distance from anything and everything you need. And if you need to go anywhere further, then you're close to the U-bahn, trains, and strassebahn. And on a lazy night, the bar is always packed with interesting characters and fun bartenders.

KenyaThe check in process was rushed and often did not provide any details in terms of the facilities available, what you're entitled to and where & how to get help if needed. There was more of an emphasis on the checkout process. Secondly, the cleaning of the tea cups was not good and the fact that water used to mop the floors was drained on the same sink was disgusting.
The location of the hostel is in the central part of Berlin near the major sites and very accessible to public transport. The facilities are adequate including a lounge/bar area, kitchen area and spacious rooms however there was internet attenuation at times.
