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.).

New ZealandKey cards were temperamental - sometimes it would take 4 tries to open your door, other times it would open first go. No locker for your things, just cubby holes.
Truly great location, massive 6 share room (didn’t have bunk beds in it), cool beer garden with pool (though pool wasn’t working when I was there in April), quaint lift

ItalyThere are lockers but they are not inside the room. The bathrooms are not very clean and there is no place where to pit your thighs.
The rooms have single beds and not bunk beds. There are lights and sockets mear every bed and you also have a bit of storage near it. The train station and the center is just 5 minutes from the hostel

TurkeyThere are locker cabinets in the corridors, but it would be better if there are locker cabinets in the rooms where we can put our belongings for easy access. Just an advise. :)
It was centrally located. There are many restaurants and markets nearby. The beds were comfortable. It's nice to have an elevator in the building. I didn't have any problems in terms of security.

Hong KongBe aware that sound proof is not so good, when someone answer the phone in the corridor, you could hear it clearly inside the room. The door design makes it inevitably to make noise when you open and close the door.
Good location, very close to train station Spacious room for 5 beds (and not bunk bed), got a small lamp for each bed, socket, and hooks for clothing, detailed mind. Got a luggage room (with individual lock) to store the luggage before check in Got key card for the room you stay

NorwayThe shower head did not attach properly in my en suite bathroom so I had to use the shared shower to wash my hair. The shared shower drain was not ok, so the floor became flooded. Quit a lot of noice from doors banging at night. Too high pillow. Breakfast was quite basic.
Friendly staff. Great location close to railway station, museums, Hohenzoller bridge and lots of shops in old town. Friendly bar and restaurant with good food. Very practical with lots of hooks to hang things on in the bedroom.

PolandI had a negative incident during my stay. The roommate happened to be an extreemist islamist. He prayed very loudly during the night in the room, while shouting aggresively, and standing just directly over my bed. Not sure what protective measures you could take to prevent such behaviour but that was one of the few moments that I felt very unsafe. I also just didn’t enjoy the city, as I found it nationality-based racist, but that’s no fault of the hostel.
