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 KingdomHonestly the only thing the hostel needs is better wifi. They clearly have bought wifi that serves a family of 4 and doesn’t have the range and speed for multiple guests. They get this sorted and they’d get a 10 from me!
A superb hostel, every thing is incredible. Even fine details such as storage, ear plugs and towels makes all the difference. Beautifully renovated as well!

New ZealandRegistration process was challenging at the time as was not aware of requirement before turning up at front door. And others found themselves in the same situation.
Can't comment on staff as never saw anyone. Remote registration all done by email which was a bit difficult as I don't check emails while walking all day. So found myself at the front door unable to get in. However once resolved, all was great. Love the decor, fabulous facilities, comfortable, super clean, excellent bathrooms, bunks comfortable & even towels provided. Also tea & coffee & milk included.This is a hostel which goes above & beyond to do it well. Much appreciated.

UkraineThe only inconvenience was that it had only one toilet and one shower (at least I didn't see others), so more than 4 people should share them

United StatesAmazing location right across the street from the beach. Easy online check in (off-season), very responsive hosts via email, easy to find and get into the building. Stayed in a solo room with a large window overlooking the beach. Everything is very clean, well designed, and incredibly comfortable. Washer and dryer in the kitchen (for a small fee) is a big plus. Large communal kitchen is very clean. Nice common area with a view of the ocean as well. Highly recommend.

SpainThey have no staff (only 14-17) so lack of human touch especially at check-in. One consequence is: if you arrive before 14:99 or leave late no possibility to drop or leave your luggage whatsoever. I had a flight at 21:30 (check-out day) and had to pick up my bag at 16:45 and carry it
Clean, comfy, quiet, free coffee & teas, AMAZING location and view, good common areas.
