How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Nothing!
One of my best hostel experiences ever! The owners make you feel like family ☺️ the hostel is clean, has lots of communal space to hang out and work if you need. The terrace is lovely. And the kitchen and rooms are well stocked with everything you need. It's quiet and, while I was there, all the other guests were quiet and respectful. A great stay, will definitely return.

No curtains on the bunk beds so there's not much privacy in the dorms. WiFi cut out briefly a couple of times but was otherwise reliable.
Awesome location. Super clean. Quiet. Comfy beds. The host was really nice and she had lots of great recommendations.

We stayed for two nights between 11-13 May 2024. The manager of the hostel, Ms. Mercedes, is really friendly and understanding and tries to help guests in every matter. The rooms and common areas are cleaned every day, the facility was clean and well maintained. The location is also in the city center, you can choose without thinking.

Nothing. The shower wasn't great but for the price it would be expected that everything is not perfect. No complaints.
The friendly and helpful staff made this hostel special. The kitchen was great, well equipped and spacious.

Nothing at all.
Lady Mercedes is the best staff you will ever meet! The sweetest lady is really helpful. The hostel has a warm atmosphere and you feel comfortable. It is located on a narrow street, but easy to find. Restrooms are fresh, cleaned regularly, and the kitchen has all the stuff you need. Rooms are large, you do not feel squeezed in a small place. You have lots of space.

The roommates were loud and disrespectful. But I guess you can get bad ones wherever you go :/
The staff is lovely and the cleanliness beyond my expectations! The late check-in was no problem and I was guided through the process very clearly. The hostel is in good walking distance from... everything

I lived in an upper bed, but the bunk bed was shaking too much. And it doesn’t have any bed curtain.
The price is very valuable. The room is big. You can feel it’s not a very new living, but it’s cozy enough.

Mattrace was a kind use to much, there was no window in my room with sunlight, so its felt kind of basement,but if you are coming late to sleep then its fine.
The owner was very kind, has given advise and showed place what must been seen. Liked roof terrace. It was very clean, all the times, can make your own food.

The bath room in the ground floor had a weird smell but that didn’t bother too much.
The receptionist was super nice! She showed me all the attractions and food spots I had to visit. The facilities are very clean and during night it is very quiet. I was really lucky that even though I was in shared dormitory room I had the room for myself for one night. For that reason it was the perfect quality/price ratio.
