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 KingdomTheir Bistro was closed in the evenings - but it was the low season. They charge a bit more if you're over 27!!! Apart from that, there was nothing not to like!
Useful low cost modern and clean Yoth Hostel style Hotel. Everythnig was basic, functional and spotlessly clean. No frills, a simple bed, a good shower, two chairs and a small table comprised the rooms - rather like a University Hall of residence room. Breakfast was self-serve, with a good range of cereals, breads, rolls, fruit, meats and cheeses, plus the usual drinks. The whole place was DiY - strip your own beds, clean up after yourself, clear you own table etc. but it worked really well. And the price was very competetive (IMHO) for Heidelberg.

United KingdomThe breakfast was a little limited, and didn't offer any cooked meat or eggs, which was a shame as I was in town for a martial arts camp, and needed extra protein. The laundry facilities were also limited to 1 washer and 1 dryer, which were both a bit temperamental and difficult to use effectively. I couldn't get any dinner at 19.15 one night, despite the stated finishing time of 19.30 as they had run out of food. That's a bit poor, and meant I had to go into town to eat. There were a lot of screaming kids running around every part of the hostel, so the quiet room didn't work out. Perhaps the quiet room areas should be off-limits for children's foot races, and warning signs posted to please keep the noise down?
The staff were universally friendly and helpful. The location was ideal, and good shower heat and pressure.

ArgentinaExtra money was charged under the name of membership. I am not saying that Heigelberg has not many things to see but it was just a couple of nights there for me. And i will never visit Heidelberg again in my life. But why did this youth hostel charge me extra money as a membership?

GermanyThe location is 40-50 min walk from city center, also around 10 min by bus and buses are quite often. There is no plug near bed which is bad for charging your phone and no stove in the kitchen, only microwave. No towel and soap in the bathroom too.
Room was really clean and nice, breakfast was also pretty good.

GermanyThe internet didn't function, the breakfast didn't serve eggs, the bathroom had no soap or towels, and there was no public transportation to the facility after 1am. I could have stayed at a centrally located hotel for the same price. I would not recommend this facility.

Belgium1) The check-in procedure is veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery long. Info given through Booking. com has to be repeated. 2) The hostel charged extra for 'a mandatory membership', so higher price than what was agreed through Booking.com 3) The hostel is huge, and the car park much too small compared to its size. Had to park my car 15 minutes away (opposite direction compared to downtown) 4) Really far from downtown, 45 min walk through some half dodgy paths. Bus is alternative, but barely faster.
Breakfast buffet is varied and nice.
