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.).

BrazilThe venue is reasonably close to Bath Spa train station (a 10-minute walk). The cafeteria facilities were very convenient (microwave oven, toaster, kitchenware).

New ZealandI would prefer a lift and I didn’t like the smell of the bathroom cleaning, but it was clean! The price reflected the no lift situation.
Excellent location in Bath centre. Also, surprisingly quiet and with a twin room to myself I had loads of space. Those two things at the price charged was very good value.

United KingdomThe beds were three-tiered, so very less space. Couldn't sit on the beds. Everything was very clean, rooms and bathrooms.
The breakfast was very average However, cannot complain too much as it was complimentary.

RomaniaThe first night of my stay, the room was really cold due partially to the single glazing window and being partially open. Lack of city view which was advertised on the site, I was staying in Dormitory 1. There is no parking on site, although there is parking available close by in Broad Street Car Park
Beautiful history building, clean and convenient located in the centre of Bath. Very accommodating and friendly staff. Very good price range for my stay. I was very well informed before coming, of all the conditions after my booking, like where to park. Gorgeous and friendly cat welcoming you in the morning.

United KingdomNot much vibe, bunches of school kids on the regular (I mean it is a YMCA so to be expected). So it’s perfectly functional, even with if the kitchen is basic, but just no particularly nice energy like some hostels. Also there is isn’t free tea and coffee available quite often.
Big and spacious for such a central location. Not far from city centre. Outside area. TV room gets good sunlight in the day making it quite a nice admin spot (if people aren’t watching TV…). Comfy beds. Everything pretty clean.

Czech RepublicI was surprised that on one hand were for free during weekend and on the other hand you had to pay for baggage storage after check out of 2 pounds and towel for 2,5 pounds. In comparison with Bristol hostel - left baggage was free of charge and towel only 1 pound and Bristol is much bigger city than Bath.
I like the hostel - all space there in common areas. There was a surprise during weekend - provided breakfast for free. There was a nice guy at reception and also nice girl.
