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.).

IrelandThe only issue I had there was some kind of foul smell was coming into the room. I don't know from where maybe it was the person or his stuff whose bed was below mine.
The stay in the hostel was great. The location was also good. The bed was comfy.

Breakfast was ok for the price, but I'd would prefer to do it myself or have a full range of hot food e.g. English breakfast type. The hostel exceeded my expectations for design, cleanliness, space, environment/treatment.

Malta-The bathrooms need to be cleaned more often. - Pillows definitely need to be changed.
The front desk people were just amazing and very friendly, and also the cleaners. Everyone always willing to help and always with a very friendly vibe. I feel very happy I found this hostel, very good for the price in general! The breakfast was always good and cheap and the facilities are very good.

In front of the Hendon Central Underground station which is good (take into consideration Central London is 30mins away). The staff was nice.

SloveniaThe hostel was a bit smelly, especially in bedrooms, but we got used to it, so it was not that annoying. It was also small, especially dinnig room and kitchen.
The hostel itself was cosy, the location near the metro was really useful and the people in hostel were really friendly. Kitchen in hostel was a big plus. Receptionist Nelly was friendly and very helpful.

New ZealandThe showers were our main qualm. They are button operated showers. Usually, when the button is pressed the shower will run for a short time. However, the shower I used, the button had to be continually depressed or else it would immediately stop. This made it hard to shower. Some of the kitchen cannot be used during breakfast time. Rubbish collection can be a bit late for those going to sleep early.
Loved the decor! There were maps of London as the wallpaper, as well as a plant wall, which is absolutely stunning. Every member of staff we encountered was super friendly. It was super easy to store luggage before check in and after check out, which was such a blessing for us. The luggage crates in the room are also quite large, so we were able to fit all our luggage in, which is something we couldn’t do at Smart Hyde Park Inn. The bunks have an excellent shelf, which has plenty of charging opportunities and a light. Essentially, the room is well-equipped. We enjoyed being a bit further out from the city centre, as it was a bit quieter, but still easy to get in using the metro and buses.
