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 KingdomNo hooks! I had no where in the room to hang my wet towel or coat. The bathroom also, I had to put my clothes on the side and had nowhere to put soap in the shower. The shower was a cold trickle. The men's bathroom was closed at one point and the men used the women's (fine) but with no warning. Then there was 1 shower for the floor.
The decoration is excellent. Beds are comfortable with a curtain, light (which can be dimmed or brightened) and a large shelf. Every bed has a lock box too. It was clean and bright with good air con. Room was big with plenty of space for bags next to the beds. Sink in the room was useful as the bathroom was the other end of the corridor. Staff were friendly and helpful.

United KingdomCleaners burst into dorms some mornings and cleaned, whether you were sleeping or in the shower. Not earlier than 10am though! Kitchen facilities were a kettle and a microwave, no sink.
Clean, quiet, and well organised with friendly staff. The hostel itself felt safe. Bar with food available at certain times. Situated close to Vieux Porte and Le Panier. 15 mins walk from Gare St George. Paid luggage drop available.

SwitzerlandStaff did not check us in correctly so we had a stranger walking into our room as they had been assigned the same room. Thankfully all resolved but concerned what would have happened if we were not in the room at the time. Also generally expensive for the offering.
Clean and comfortable place. Breakfast was basic but good. Had a good location which was easy to access.

United KingdomThe bar prices seemed to have gone up a lot. No longer seemed to offer a "happy hour'. I therefore drank in a bar about 100m away for around 4eu a pint/50cl cheaper than the hostel price. I wasn't particularly on a tight budget but just felt the bar prices in the hostel were a bit on the (very) steep side.
Scrupulously clean. Spacious dorms. Great good sized and comfy 'Pod' type bunks - bunk light, bunk locker, two shelves, charging points , modesty curtain. Friendly helpful staff. Pleasant courtyard. This was my second time staying here (last time 12 mths ago). Enjoyed my return visit & would happily recommend. Great that breakfast was available earlier than it often is else where - from 07:00. Even better that there's now a toaster so I could indulge my toast obsession at breakfasts (I flagged the absence of one last year). Good location midway between the Vieux Port & St Charles Station.

UkraineHomeless people enter the hostel territory (an open-air space on the hostel territory) and spend the night (sleep all night) on benches and tables. In the morning I went out for coffee and sat down at one of the tables with benches. The terrible smell and dirt left by these people forced me to look for sanitizer and change my clothes. I sincerely sympathize with such people; I understand that employees are powerless in this situation. I suggest putting a combination lock on the gate at the entrance to the hostel courtyard.
Very clean room and bathroom. There is a room for paid storage of things It would be a good idea to tell your future guests to bring a small hinge lock in their storage cabinet.

Also found it weird that one needs to pay €4 for 6h and more to leave luggage after checkout. price for coffee €4, for beer €8 …air condition switched off during the night. I mean it is a hostel after all…

United KingdomRooms were quite warm, unsure if this was just a temperature thing but not a lot of natural light or ventilation into the room Bathrooms could have been a little bigger too, only 2 toilets and 3 showers I think, but these are hypercritical points
Incredibly friendly staff at check in and throughout the stay Excellent size and space of rooms. Other guests were quiet but polite Outside courtyard area is amazing, can work or socialise with people, perfect in the evening (was 18-20 degrees in October) Incredibly close to Old Port and Place de la Joliette, and train station too — everything you need in walking distance

GermanyThe bathroom situation was a little strange. The room wasn't very clean, and the floor of the shower was connected to the rest of the bathroom. There was an unpleasant smell, but it was sufficient enough.
The location was great and easy to find. The dormitories were as expected in a hostel, and the beds were clean.

GermanyFirst I got a dark, smelly room on the ground floor, which didn't look inviting to me. Fortunately I could not find a free bed there, so I got a nice room upstairs. The park next door is a bit smelly (we smelled it in the room), maybe it didn't rain for long time...
Very nice bed, big room, lot of space (as well for luggage), big and clean bath room - I liked the room upstairs a lot
