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.).

AustraliaThere was no elevator, which I did not mind but may be difficult for some. The layout of the hostel was slightly confusing.
The location was excellent: it was very safe; a short walking distance from the major parks (Kensington, Hyde & St. James); and easily accessible by public transport. The scene was super social, and events were held on both nights I was there. The staff were incredibly accommodating.

CanadaGreat location in a quiter neighbourhood that still has lots going on. Pubs, restaurants, shops, coffee shops all within walking distance. Tube station about a 5-minute walk away. Can walk to Notting Hill, Hyde Park, Little Venice, and a lot of other parts of London. I felt safe here as a solo woman. The hostel is very social, with organized events going on every night - including free dinners on some evenings. This does mean that the hostel can be noisy late at night - but they make it clear from the get go that this is a "party hostel." I did wake up some nights from the noise of people coming home from a night out, but overall I slept decently and I would stay again.

SloveniaThere are some small things that could be better, but didn't greatly influence the stay. Warm shower water seemed to run out quickle quickly, so I had a refreshing experience every night :). There could be more stools or similar furniture in the bathrooms, so people can put their stuff on when taking a shower or washing their teeth. Privacy curtains around the beds are also a good idea, but that can be quickly fixed with a towel, so its not a big thing.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. I asked them for recommendations and they gladly helped if they could. They also have daily activities which I unfortunatelly didn't attend, because I was already fully booked. But next time I visit, I hope I can join. The hostel was also clean and calm, but lively.
