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.).

FranceIt was a warm night so the windows to the dormitory were open. There is a noisy bar down below so you need earplugs to fall asleep peacefully! Also, at check-in the person working at the welcome desk did not propose towel rental, so I needed to come back to the desk and wait again in order to pay for a towel.
Beds are comfortable and the sheets/towels available are very clean. Cozy common areas. Breakfast is a great value with good coffee! Check-in was easy.

AustraliaDid not find it easy to get to know other travellers. Common areas had a mix of work and travel but everyone just sits on their own and you have no idea who wants to talk. Who speaks French or English Someone complained that the coffee was terrible and the response from staff was that's just how it is. There was no effort to remedy this I decided to try for myself and it was indeed terrible I think because it was late in the day. By all other reports the day coffee is fine. The rooms had limited hooks and limited space to put things near bedside Creaky floors When checking in, I was booked for two nights in two separate 1 night bookings. It felt like the staff were annoyed when hearing this, as though I should have done this as a single booking, but the limitation was on Booking.com / the hostels system. I suspect they just wanted the best for me which is not to have to change rooms but just the feeling I got felt off. The cause was that they had a group booked the 2nd day. Anyway once the staff realised the reason they were nice and pleasant. The shower didn't have much space for putting things. Maybe two hooks and 15x15cm triangle It's also one of those that has a button you have to keep pressing every 15sec or the water stops
Everything was just ok. It does have a kitchen and fridge for those who cook Lockers are large Location is kinda good. Although can be noisy

ColombiaThe hostal es a bit old, so they need to make a lot of effort to clean the facilities and if the visitors didn't want to be clean, it would be dirtier faster... But in general was very clean!, Also like I said it's a bit old, so the floor sounds a lot, it's very cozy but if you want to sleep early, buy some ear plugs
The coffee, the movies, and the place gathering a lot of travelers, this was the first time in my trip that u talk to someone xD.

GermanyLuggage storage is not included and they charge a time-dependent rate, which is why we ended up paying 13 Euros for luggage storage on the day of our arrival.
The hostel has a nice vibe and a central location close to many restaurants and bars.

United KingdomSome idiot was pacing up and down the hostel room at early hours and shadow boxing, someone else told him to stop making noise and he responded aggressively. Probably mentally unwell. This has not much to do with the hostel, just sharing as it was strange to experience and felt unsettling.
Staff answering questions promptly. Overall pretty clean as far as hostels go.

United KingdomStarting to look like it needs a bit of sprucing up (eg in need of painting, shower curtain falling apart at the top). It's the end of the season so this is understandable. Noise from the bar round the corner was loud and went on until 2am ish on 2 of the nights
Great location. Nice staff and a good breakfast. Large private room with ensuite gave plenty of space Hairdryer and air conditioning (and very good ceiling fan) provided.
