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 KingdomThere was nothing that I didnt like but will point out that it is a good 20 minute walk to the centre of Leon - but I knew that before I booked, and it suited me to be away from the crowds.
One night in shared dormitory. Room was a little cramped but the bed was comfortable and there are lockers to store your rucksack etc. Nice pleasant hostel with clean bathroom, hot water and well equipped kitchen (if into self catering). There is a washing machine, a sink where you can wash clothes by hand and an outside area to dry them after. It's on the route of the Camino Frances just before you hit the city of Leon, so convenient if walking the route. There is also a bar on site

United StatesIssues -- none of these may be important to you. 1) Although the kitchen is quite functional, with a 3-burner stovetop, small microwave, cooking gear, and a variety of house spices, there is NO GUEST REFRIGERATOR, a major omission for a hostel. During my stay it was just cold enough outside that I could leave my perishables in my car. Also no oven, so if you're planning on roasting a chicken, forget it. Curiously, although the kitchen is well stocked with place settings, it has no cups or drinking glasses. 2) The only common lounge has lots of tables and hard chairs, but no couch or comfortable seating and only a few electrical receptacles. 3) The dorm beds are steel rather than wood meaning touching a bunk ladder makes a very loud noise, likely disturbing sleepers. Individual beds also have no light or power.
I give the albergue 5 stars because it is such an outstanding value (€12/dorm bed, early November) and for its overall quality despite having some curable deficiencies that MIGHT be dealbreakers for some prospective guests. The premises are attractive, there's a cozy bar, an available extra cost breakfast, a functional kitchen (but see Issues), nice bathrooms, and easy street parking. A supermarket is a 10-minute walk. The owners are very friendly and accommodating. Wifi is good but one of the several placards giving the password has it in capital letters, which is wrong. Others are correct. After 10:30 PM there's no staff onsite, so if you go outside be SURE you have the door combination with you or you'll be sleeping on the sidewalk.

United KingdomEvery guest was stuffed into the one dormitory instead of spreading them out over a few rooms.
For me the location was perfect because I didn’t have enough strength left to walk further and I knew that I could take one of the bikes to cycle into the town centre.

CanadaIt's quite far out of town, but everything else is good, maybe even worth the extra distance. The price is great, VERY affordable.
I was booked in a shared dorm, but developed a nasty cough that I didn't want to pass on to anyone else. They kindly gave me a private room at no extra charge, even though I offered, and was happy to pay the difference. The kitchen was great. It had everything (except a fridge), that you may need; the lounge was large and very comfortable. It also had very good laundry facilities. The place was very clean, and the staff were all great
