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.).

RomaniaNot enough sockets. The beds don't have their individual ones, a small shelf would work as well at each bed where to keep your phone overnight.
Long uphill walk to the hostel but well worth it. Great view over the basilica and the city.

AustraliaIt's a large albergue and it attracted some poorly behaved guests. They introduced 3 guests at 22:30 without supervision into a shared dorm ... turned on lights, talked and messed around and woke everyone up ... this should have been much better managed!
The place had good facilities and good staff. Located on Camino path.

AustraliaIt’s a half an hour, 40 minute walk downhill to get to the city centres so just be prepared for a big walk or you can take buses. Be mindful when you’re in the shower, the light kept turning off. It’s a motion sensor light. It doesn’t stay on for a long.
It’s a very busy hostel with lots of rooms what I liked about the hotel was the staff they helped me change rooms because someone was snoring quite loudly. It is a kitchen but you have to fight to have a space in the kitchen it’s small and there’s not much facilities, considering how many people stay there with only two burners a microwave no proper knives just basic utensils

United StatesWhen we first checked in they didn’t give us an all female dorm like we had booked, but they went out of their way to fix it the next day and even gave us a better room which was great. I did see a cockroach in the bathroom which was gross.
The location was amazing and the staff were really helpful and accommodating

CanadaA dormitory is like a dormitory: tight space, latecomers who still have to make their bed in the semi-dark, zippering their luggage etc., keeping you awake. Then the snoring begins. I always marvel at the kind of money the owners make with places like this, a small room with 10 bunks at E. 20 a pop, go figure! I should get into it!
A busy, happening place. Many walkers/pilgrims. Very well organized.

SpainSockets are only inside each locker, not around each bed. Location was a bit far from the centre (although there was a metro station nearby and old centre was within a walking distance).
Hostel was mostly clean, and the bed was comfortable, too. They allowed me to leave my bag after checkout. Breakfast was simple but enough and fair for the price.

AustraliaYou can walk into the center in about 40 minutes downhill. But its too far, and up too much of a steep hill for walking back from the city center to be enjoyable. However its very easy to catch the metro back, they run until 11pm. There are also buses. Then its only 5-10minutes walk to the hostel.
Good facilites. Kitchen had stove tops, fridge and kitchenware. No oven. Breakfast included is a nice bonus! Cereal, toast, tea, coffee and juice. Good bathrooms, comfy beds. Lights auto switch off at 11pm, which we appreciated, stops people coming in late and turning on lights in big dorms.

BrazilAn employee's unwillingness to provide simple information about breakfast just because it's not her day at work. She asked me to ask another employee. It was my first day with coffee and I wasn't even aware of the other employee. However, I knew that she works at the Hostel and had just had her coffee. Water in the bathroom took a long time to heat up. And the beds could have curtains on each, producing greater privacy and less hassle when turning on lights.
I really liked the location, the breakfast, the lockers (using our own padlock) and the attention provided by the manager.
