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.).

AustraliaNo social activities organised. The beds do not have curtains and some beds do not have a shelf or a direct PowerPoint to charge your phone. No air conditioning either
The rooms were very spacious with high ceilings. The bathrooms were very clean and so was the kitchen and locker storage area. The cafe and bar attached to the hostel were also very nice.

MongoliaThey didn’t have air-conditioned which means you need to open the window during the night. Because of that, I had full of mosquito bites that bothered me all the time. Also, most travelers are with friends and they're talking, and laughing at night even after 10 pm with the light on. Maybe need some rules for that. That makes it impossible to sleep also with the noise from the street. Even in the morning, there is a very loud noise in the street that may wake up you. They didn't have curtains for the beds. If we had curtains it’s more comfortable to sleep when the others doing something with the lights on. Omg with the big suitcase stairs weren't comfortable at all. There was an elevator just wondering why we can not use that. For work purposes especially you need to get up early I don't recommend this place at least during summer maybe better in winter.
Location was good and easy access to almost everywhere around.

United KingdomBathroom facilities weren’t amazing and there were not enough cubicles for how many women are staying on each floor. Overall beds could do with curtains, little to no privacy if you’re on the bottom bunk but had no fears for my safety so that’s ok
For a first time hostel goer couldn’t have had a better experience, and made some lovely friends, lots of fellow solo travellers in Lyon as it is a passing through point and is a really youthful city. Would recommend for sure if you stayed in hostels before or are travelling as a group. It’s super nice and clean, breakfast was fun and not too expensive for a buffet, I got to make some pancakes

TurkeyThe fact that the beds didn't have curtains, and others seeing you sleeping is eerie. I wish they covered the beds with something. Also unlike some hostels, this one doesn't have lockers, but you can purchase a lock for 4 euros or something from the reception.
It was really close to the Hôtel de Ville and to the metro station. Never had any difficulties with getting to places. When I arrived I was welcomed with an amazing staff. Even though I talked in French all of them had amazing English levels. In the rooms when you close the windows you don't hear the street noises which is a huge bonus because my room was looking at a street.
