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.).

IrelandA small item is a shower that is in a pulsating mode. It may be quite annoying for some. Otherwise facilities were absolutely great.
I loved that it's a place with a beautiful ambience, very well thought, super convenient location wise. It is one of the cleanest and most organised hostels/hotels I have ever been too.

HungaryThere isn't anything that I didn't like. Maybe a single thing I found strange (although it didn't bother me that much): there is music playing in the bathroom/toilet area during the day :)
I have been to many hostels throughout the years but none of them compare to Opera Hostel. It was absolutely clean, spacious, tastefully decorated, equipped with everything one can need, and staff was exceptionally kind, speaking very good English but also willing to let me practice my German :) An amazing experience altogether. I would definitely return here. Thank you, Opera Hostel! <3

LithuaniaThe coffee machine is turned on at 7 am in the morning, but there was probably 5 of us already awake and ready to start the day at 6-6.30 am. Not being able to make coffee in the morning when you need it.moat makes it quite redundant 😅
The hostel was very clean and the common areas were very cosy. There was complimentary coffee and tea in the kitchen, which is always a nice touch.

ThailandAs it's a hostel, the fridge and kettle are in the common kitchen. You have to make your way upstairs for it. Wifi is not working properly and very hard to get connected. There is no handheld showerhead and you need to push a button to have the water running and it's spreading everywhere from above.
I got a triple room only for myself and it was quite comfortable. Big window looking out at the hotel front with lots of lights coming in. The room was clean and simple. The kitchen is nicely decorated and well-equipped. Free coffee and tea are provided there. Plenty of spaces to sit and hang around. The staff is very friendly and helpful. It's about a 10 min walk to the old town and there is a bus running from the main train station directly to the hostel.

United KingdomIt was a bit sandy on my floor (I didn‘t report it as I wasn‘t really going to spend any time in the room), but everything else was impeccably clean, so it must have been a mistake, or maybe it came in through the window!
Very helpful staff, great location, very comfortable. Sink in private bedroom was a great feature. The coffee in the free coffee machine (even free latte, cappuccino etc) was great, fresh beans!

United StatesMy complaints are minor, and in no way reflect the hostel staff and their services. I will admit that it was difficult to find the electrical outlets in my room, and the few that I could find were often taken, which made charging my devices a bit difficult. The hostel wi-fi, while decent at certain times throughout the day, was a bit unreliable in the evening (probably due to all the guests logging on at the same time and slowing down the bandwidth). Lastly, some of the guests that shared my room were a bit noisy (snoring at night, etc.). However, this is to be expected with hostels, so it's not really worth complaining about. Given the price, location and services of this hostel, I would rank it very high among the hostels I've stayed at over the years, and it is definitely worth a visit!
Loved the decor of the hostel, the opera theme was unique and very appropriate given the name of the hostel and its proximity to the old Erfurt opera house. The opera theme gave the hostel a cozy and luxurious atmosphere, and the musical decorations added a really nice touch. The staff was also extremely friendly and helpful, and that made checking in and checking out a very pleasant experience. The breakfasts, while you had to pay for them, were also very nice and well worth the fee. They were a great way to start your mornings while visiting Erfurt. Overall, this is by far one of the best hostels I've been to, I'd highly recommend it!
