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.).

FinlandNothing to complain really, but as I worked during one of the days of my stay in the apartment, a proper working desk would have been the cherry on top! The living room table was sturdy enough as an alternative though.
Very nice location closeby the center, a spacious studio with proper kitchen setup for cooking your own meals. This works perfectly for a short stay in the city. The staff is friendly and helpful. This was my second stay, and I'm likely to book again here.

FinlandImpressive, I didn´t see any staff in any moment - which is kinda like the concept of this hostel - but I had a seamless communication with them every time I needed it! Very clean, very well maintained, if you have things going in the uni of Jyväskylä the location is excellent but for other things Jyväskylä has other accommodations at different locations also, like closer to the train / bus station.

FinlandRoom was laid out a little strangely, and I had hoped to find a double bed but got two 90 cm ones, not my favourite option though they were still comfy beds.
Super clean, quiet, much more like being in a house environment than a hostel because you take off your shoes and they expect a level of caretaking of the space, which is nice. Very well equipped kitchen with staples you can use, good private showers, nicely decorated. Location was great for where I was working, around the university, but it's a little more of a hike to the city centre than some other places. Beds and linens clean and comfy. Check in easy with a code.

TaiwanThe instruction of the room code was not clear and the provided link was error at first. I arrived the hostel at night and realized that there was no physical staff to help. And I tried to make a call and to use what’s app to reach them but the auto-reply showed that now was the close time. Fortunately there was another guest who understand Finnish in the lobby and help me to find the staff via the phone call. It will be appreciate if the room code could be sent directly by email and the response system could be more rapid and friendly. (SMS often doesn’t work for foreign travelers)
1. Very clean and well facilities including the room, toilets, kitchen and other public area. 2. Nice staffs to let me leave my luggage in the hostel for few hours after checkout. Thank you for the kindness.

FinlandI did not like that the door code given by them had no mention of the room number. So I had to call them to find that out. Even emails sent by them did not mention this information. It was only available in a separate app link sent by them in the email which I missed. It would be great if they could include this info in email or text messages as well.

AustraliaA room with a private bathroom would be a bonus. However, the shared toilets and showers are extremely clean and well-maintained and there's many so you don't need to queue.
This is among the top 5 hostels I've stayed in anywhere in the world and I've travelled on 6 continents. An absolute gem for a reasonable price. Clean, tidy, quiet, safe, comfortable, has character, takes sustainability seriously; there's nothing lacking!

FranceEmails and communications are mainly generic emails. From the pictures, I expected to meet some hosts but every things is made to self service. I send a message to the host and this was never answered or acknowledge. Sad for a youth hostel.
Room, bed and kitchen are good. The space is decorated with care and style. Quiet and near the center and market.

GermanyEverything was okay. I found nothing bad or that I do not like. I felt like a guest and found a lot of good things. I cant complain. I found even a good parking possibilty just around the corner.
It was so very nice. Because when I was a child and visited my grandmother who was living on the other side of the road. Jyväskyläs old places do not change much. But the surrounding is changing quickley. I like the old things, and I found a lot of nice things in the Boutique such as organic coffee, tea and a very nice kitchen. Even the bedrooms remains me to finnisch people who like to have an easy lifestyl. Thank you I would like to come again - to see the nice old places, the Harja and the university campus ist also very nice.
