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 KingdomCould not close windows. I could hear every sound outside. Shared bathrooms were not clean. Used towel on the floor in one of the bathrooms. Black mould in the bathroom I used....I didn't really want to look in the other ones.
Decent if you are only staying one night....In my case I had to be up early for an airport run to Dublin, so this place was central. Bed was clean and comfortable.

United Kingdom1) Shower Room door on first floor sticking shut, I had to rescue a young lady as she didn't have finger strength to open it. 2) General laziness of people sharing toilets/showers. 3) Someone would use shower to clean the toilet seat before use, please fix shower head to wall to prevent this.
1) Not far from centre on bus 9a, b or c. 2) £15 night. 3) People I shared room with, nice quiet student couple from India that didn't drink. 4) 24 hour Spar at Botanic Train Station.

United Kingdom???
Staff very friendly and polite. Good location to & from Belfast city centre. Good for elderly person if only staying 1/2 nights. Sadly only 1 out of 3 shower rooms in use. Very well equipped kitchen & dining room but could do with another microwave. Kitchen closes at 9pm & reopens at 9am also sitting room. Could do with kettle for people to make tea or coffee who leave before 9am.

United KingdomThe general decor of the hostel was pretty tired looking and could do with a bit of a facelift. Bathroom/toilet facilities look old and the sink in my room didn't drain properly. I was unable to use the kitchen in the morning as it was locked and I had an early checkout.
Check-in/check-out went smoothly and the staff member on duty when I arrived was perfectly pleasant. The room was basic but the bed was comfortable enough.

Czech RepublicPlugs in the room were a bit unpleasant surprise, for 4 people only 2 plugs in the whole room. Luckily I have been there with three people who were full of understanding and we shared them anyhow. Hereby thanks to them again. Not possible to open the window.
I knew that I booked the hostel with lower price than in the hotels so I didn´t expect too much. I must say that staff is so friendly and very helpful (I made a mistake and forgot that I must go away much earlier at check-out day than was announced as possible - the lady arranged immediately the earlier check-out and hereby I thank her again). Bed comfortable. Quite near to center.
