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.).

We had a big group and I requested that we all stayed in one dorm together so we would effectively have a whole 12 man dorm instead of being split up, after a few phone calls this was accommodated for us!

ColombiaMaybe just the fact that I used one bathroom available for the rooms in the basement, and it was a bit annoying because the same area of the toilet was shared with the shower, so the bathroom was totally wet after a bath and some water could stagnate on the floor after you take a shower.
This is nos a hostel, this a beautiful cozzy English house! My stay there was just amazing, the staff was really friendly, they even put in coffee and tea for you for free, and I found this so cute from their side. You can travel alone, you will arrive, sit down next to the small bar and for sure you will meet amazing people. The social areas are simply beautiful. I would definitely stay there if I ever go back to York!

United Kingdombunk beds are shaking and can hear the sounds from the ensuite toilet.
The room is spacious and quiet. The reception was so nice and attentive. The heating is decent. However, some tenants were snoring all over the night, which led to a bad sleep and a heavy head. So please do bring your earplugs.

United StatesThere weren’t lamps or power outlets near each bunk bed. I had to charge my phone away from me while I slept and hope my alarm didn’t bother everyone else when it went off in the morning, while I climbed off my bunk and was able to turn it off.
Location was good, a short bus ride or a 15-min. walk from the city center. The place is cozy. The rooms are comfortable enough.

United KingdomOur bathroom sliding door wasn't very easy to close and wasn't securely closed when it was shut, however it gave privacy. Had a couple bulbs not working and the room was slightly dark. However none of this would stop us from staying again
Close to the city centre. Friendly staff. Good place just to sleep and get ready for the days and be so close to everything. Basic amenities but we had everything we needed for a short stay. Nice cozy communal areas and gave the option for juices/hot drinks and breakfasts for additional cost

United KingdomMy only comment is that I would have liked an electric socket near my bunk. To be fair an extension was provided so there were enough sockets for everyone to charge their phones but it was over the other side of the room. But I still give you guys a 10!
