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.).

AustraliaThere were 2 WiFi accounts, and the one supplied didn't work in the bedrooms. Despite asking 3 times, the second WiFi password wasn't supplied. So you could only access WiFi in the common area. The hostel was fumigated, which is good, except we were only given 3 hours' notice to vacate the property for 3 hours. I don't think this was enough time as you could still smell the fumigation products. Hate to think what I inhaled.
The place was super clean. The staff is always cleaning. The location is excellent too and in a quieter part of the city. There is a kitchen which can be used to cook and store your food. Loved the movie room. Great place to chill and unwind after a big day. The hostel is higher up giving you a good view of the city. There is also a rooftop chill area. Although standard practice for most hostels in Ecuador (fire hazard). The entrance is locked, but it is easy to exit without needing staff to unlock it. This was more comforting as you can exit in case of emergency..... unless there is no power.

United KingdomThe dorm door didn’t shut properly which was more a slight issue with temperature control on a cool night, although the hostel has a locked gate manned by reception. Very limited number of toilets/ showers to 1 for each floor shared by several dorms. inevitably it’s harder to keep such places clean.
Decent place to meet other travellers and socialise. Good sized lockers in bedrooms is always a plus. Reasonable facilities for cooking. Not too far from the main central hub with amenities and tour operators. Staff were friendly and helpful and we socialised on a night out while I was there.

Czech RepublicThe rooms are small and there are only two showers for the whole floor so it's impossible to keep them clean. The personal didn't know much about the surrounding and wasn't really able to recommend me trips and places to go.
Ok, for a short stay, but don't expect much. It is very basic. The terrace was really nice with a good view.

ChileThere were quite some internal problems of the volunteers and team, who were constantly fighting and also leaving. The beds had flees! It was known but noone really cared. The first room of 6 beds was extremely tiny. After 10 pm it was not allowed to be on the terrace talking, which was definitely the hang out place.
The hostel had a great terrace for chilling and hanging out. The beds were quite comfortable and the place was clean. There was a cozy cinema room.
