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.).

IndiaI stayed here for a night, and it was surely a lot fun. Meet some new people, hung around with them around town. The room arrangement was pretty good for me, they provide with locks for the locker (upon refundable deposit), and all the basic necessities. Overall, I can highly recommend this place.

GermanyThe breakfast is rather basic and could offer more variety, especially if you stay for more than a few days. The rolls are fresh and very good, though. Your sleeping quality depends a lot on the others sharing your room but that's not the hostels responsibility. They do provide earplugs if you forgot to bring some of your own :-)
Very conveniently located about 5 minutes walk away from main station on the 3rd and 4th floor of a building seemingly housing multiple businesses. During check-in you get a small electronic key (looks like a button cell) on a lanyard that opens your room as well as the main entrance which gets locked in the evening. As expected for a hostel the comfort is limited but all facilities are well maintained and clean. There are multiple toilets per floor and the (lockable) showers have small cabins in front where you can leave your clothes. The kitchen provides everything for basic cooking and there's a shared fridge. Each room has lockers for your personal belongings. You need to bring a padlock yourself (not too small or it won't work – see picture) or get one from the reception for a deposit of 5 Euro. The staff is very friendly and helpful, in general.

NetherlandsThe beds creak a lot, and the pillows are very thin (and half-size). But it can also get quite noisy outside, so I advise you to bring earplugs (although dat is standard advise for dorms). The showers had fluctuating water pressure, and often would barely reach further than the knobs (you can't move the shower head). Also, the location is a bit far to the sights in the old town. But there is good public transport from the nearby train station.
The hostel is very close to the main train station. The staff was very friendly and had lots of good tips. The lockers in the dorm are fine, and if you need it, you can borrow a padlock (with a small deposit). Every bed in the dorm had a nightlight and an extra socket (except the 1 bunk bed in the 6-bed dorm).

Germanyin my dorm there were mostly people living there instead of travellers, which was a bit depressing. My bed was a bit shaky and the pillow a bit uncomfortable.
The hostel is really close to the station but far from the centre. Luckily you can borrow a bike and reach it quickly. The kitchen is very big and well equipped. There is also a nice common room.
