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 KingdomSlightly cold on arrival late in evening. Be prepared to wear thermals in the room and to bed. Needed own car to get there and there was a strict have to leave premises by 10am not just vacated the room but in your car and be gone by 10am.
Staff was super friendly, knowledgeable about area, great at communicating with guests even before arrival. It was as advertised. Rooms were big and great for a family with hiking gear. The common room and Kitchen was well stocked with utensils for cooking and eating and tables and sofas were kept clean. The pool table allows for children to make friends while there. It was quiet at night.

United KingdomLocation-wise, this place was a perfect base for us. We walked Dinorwic, Snowdon, mountain biked at Betws y coed and watched the sunset on Harlech beach. Nice and clean facilities, we were impressed our 4-person bunk had 4 double bunks, and the en-suite was great. Well equipped kitchen and the staff there were really friendly. Will definitely book again next time I’m in that area.

United KingdomIt would be great to have a little laundrette option ( to pay for washing and drying your clothes) this would be a great addition but understand its probably very costly!
Tom and Tim were very welcoming and friendly. The hostel is a perfect place to stay. Lovely communal area with a TV, pool table (20p a game) and old school gaming TV (the kids loved this) and great big kitchen. Nice touch with milk, tea, coffee, sugar and basics to buy and put in the honesty box. The little small hold of alpacas, sheep and chickens is so lovely and you can feed them for free which the kids love! Bedrooms where great with very comfy beds! shower are great too. Can't wait to visit again.

United KingdomBedside lamps for reading without having the main light on would have been nice. There was only a single frying pan in the kitchen. Overall the stay was great though.
The bunk beds were double sized, really nice to have a big bed in a hostel. The hiking route up Snowdon recommended by the person at reception was great.
