How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

The breakfast was very minimal but can't really complain when it's included in an already reasonably priced stay!!
Very welcoming and well-organised hostel. Social if you want it to be but not a necessity. It was a nice and clean place to stay with a good atmosphere which is important to me when travelling alone, particularly as a girl. Its conveniently close to the main train station and has pretty good transport links to get closer to the centre too.

When the bar is open, the kitchen space is to small for the non Bar user (sitting). Also the Bar reserves some space in the kitchen with priority to prepare food for the bar, which is understandable but also minimizes the space (preparing meals, cleaning dishes). You had to label your food (legitimate), but there was just a pen and no paper/labels to do so. As I don't bring labels with me all the time it was bit of a struggle... Closing time for kitchen is complicated if you're checking out earlier. They changed the doorcode (legitimate), but didn't tell me, so that I struggled to get in in the evening one night, which was a bit scary. Should have been mentioned at checking as they knew how long I would stay... Separating showers and toilets would be better. Coworkingspace was smaller than expected and not all seating options were really good to work with
Comfortable beds, that create privacy! Free breakfast! Nice staff Regular cleaning of facilities

The living conditions at YASI border on those of a hotel: it is clean, there is plenty of privacy, quiet times, a working area, an outside area, a bar and a small breakfast buffet. If you are looking for parties and an unrestricted atmosphere, this is not the place for you. If you are looking for friendliness, proximity to the train station and comfort, this is the place for you - and at an excellent price.

The warm welcome upon arrival set the tone for a fantastic stay. While the bathroom facilities could use some improvement, the overall experience was excellent. One suggestion would be to consider adding a small space for quiet contemplation . Nonetheless, the friendly atmosphere and great service made this stay truly memorable. Highly recommended !

The lockers under the bed needs two locks to be closed, instead of requiring two locks from clients, installing a small metal plate behind the doors would make sense.

The toilets/showers could have been better maintained/ cleaner. Although they clean it 3 times a day. It was a bit far from old town but easily accessible through public transport.
The staff was amazing and very helpful. I liked the bar with its open deck. The kitchen was fully equipped and clean! The bed was very comfortable with a curtain attached for privacy. They had ample storage inside the room plus a charging point just above each bed for convenience. The neighbourhood was quiet and calm with a supermarket just across the street!
