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 KingdomA bit more signage inside would have been helpful. Loud creaky / clanging doors would be an easy fix and make a big difference. Bunk bed ladder was difficult/dangerous to climb for both children and adults due to its position. Also no step free access at the front.
Close to the tube, great characterful property with decent facilities and seems to attract a good mix of well behaved travellers :)

FinlandUnfortunately the music was bothering from the bar, very loud, right under our room. The bed feels small when people are coming and going and snoring. Personally I did not like that my personal space was every day surrounded by male customers they could pay attention to that when beds are given. My bed options were not ready when I signed in so the first impression lacked charm.
Have been here many times. The living room is exceptional. Good breakfast available and some tea. There is a lamp and privacy due curtains in your bed. The area is relatively secure and quiet

United KingdomI think in time of check in staff should show us the bed, as I came back one night after midnight and my bed was taken by somebody by mistake.
The property was clean and tidy, easy to access by tube and the staff were friendly. I really liked the pub in there, which was great with good prices.

United StatesThe bar was boiling hot but it was too cold to sit outside and you cannot take drinks upstairs in the Lounge. It’s also a wildly expensive hostel. We booked two rooms. One had a bathroom and was £189 a night. The other was £169 a night and had no bathroom :( A four star hotel next to the airport cost less than half that. We’ll just do that next time. Good one time experience. Too expensive to return.
Very cool converted mansion a short walk to the Swiss Cottage metro line.

ItalySome facilities are not confortable or suitable or affordable enough. In particular about luggage storage. However, the drop the prices of the lockers while I was there. Instead, for a prrice of a day locker I bought a bicycle lockchain to fix my bag to the bed. I think that they should install hooks and offer such lockchain solution in order to facilitate the staying of their guests
At the first booking, they give me a bad with a container too small for my luggage (Ryanair cabin sack) and I was not happy, I prolonged my stay one more day in order to decide to move in another place. The new bed had a large enough container and I decided to book for the whole period. Quiet place, nice neighborhood, affordable all-you-can-eat continental breakfast and a lot of cheap grocery stores around.

FranceIt was supposed to have event every night but there were never. The kitchen was so tiny, it's impossible to cook. Just one people feet in. If you want to stay there for a long time, you won't be able to cook. The sign on the female bathroom should be bigger, we had an issue with a guy there.
The atmosphere of the hostel was nice, the room were beautiful. I loved the curtain on the bed to keep your space private. The bar and dining area was really nice.
