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.).

NorwayDidn't find the staff very capable. My room approached the staff that there was not enough lockers in our room. They responded that they will bring in more, but didn't ask for room number or anything and nothing happened. What of course followed was a domino-effect of people stealing each other locker's and another locker got broken. People woke others up at 2 am to ask about lockers etc. Also hardly any info on arrival, like about breakfast or the facilities.
The location is excellent, close to everything yet sheltered from the noise. The courtyard is really nice. Free iced water in the bar was really nice. The beds are good and sturdy so you don't inconvenience the person above/below if you move. The hostel is clean and has a locker service in the basement.

NetherlandsThe bathroom was really tiny and I honestly don’t get the high price (€44) for a dorm. I have stayed in many hostels and normally the higher price made sense but here I don’t see it.
Comfortable beds and bathroom in the room.

IrelandThere is a basic bathroom with a shower inside the room, but it is tiny. Tall and large people would struggle to have a shower in it.
The room was really clean and comfortable. The common area of the hostel was immaculate and safe. The location is also very good. It is easy to walk around and find all the tourist attractions nearby. The staff was fantastic.

KazakhstanI liked everything, but there was a small exception: the towel was not provided. I used to get a towel in other hostels, but I didn't get it here. But not a big deal, I had my own.
The location is perfect, it is easy to walk from the popular places to the hostel. Also, I liked that there was a section for my stuff upper my bed, it was comfortable to put my phone, passport, and laptop. The room was clean.

United StatesThe only issue was the inability to adjust heat. It defaults to a set temp and does not deviate. The entire building is a sweat box so it's hard to sleep comfortably.
We had a great stay here for 5 nights. The service was excellent, the rooms super clean and comfy. Even the breakfast was good. The location is great and it's a good value.

SpainWhile the bunk had curtains which is nice it didn’t quite have enough to close it the width of the bunk, so you had to pick where you wanted the crack, the area around the property is not that nice, felt a little sketchy, but had no problems.
Bunks is clean, quiet at night, and bathroom is clean.

Austria- the area is a bit strange - the mattresses are very thin, 5cm max. - the lockable boxes each bed has are so small, you cannot fit your handluggage - teeny-tiny bathroom (in the four bed room) - I was given bed "A" - arrived in the room to find "A" occupied, the other 3 were free. went back down to reception and told them that "A" was occupied, so I took "B" - they said it was fine. I put my stuff on bed "B" and left the hostel to explore the city. When I came back to the room at night, somebody had removed all my stuff from "B" and was sleeping in it! No go! Not her fault though, she later showed me she had been given "B", even though I told reception that I was in it...:-(
+ overall pretty modern + close to the city centre and the train station + sockets & curtains on each bed + there are 2 options for breakfast you can choose from on site - small for 4€ with a hot drink and a pastry or 9€ for all you can eat, though the options are limited to pastries, one type of cheese, bread, butter, juice, filter coffee, fruit salad

United KingdomThe courtyard was right outside our bedroom window and it was noisy late at night which affected sleep. The room was also too warm and the air-con didnt work so we didn’t have the best night sleep.
The rooms were of a nice size, and were very clean. We enjoyed the breakfast in the morning which we felt was good value for money. The staff were very friendly

United KingdomI think having 1 shower and toilet for 8 people is a bit ridiculous. Especially early in the morning when everyone is trying to use it. I know there was 1 extra toilet in the hallway but that was shared for all rooms. There should be a few extra toilets and showers on each floor to ease the rush.
The staff were friendly and the communal area outside is great for a drink and meeting people
