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.).

NetherlandsThe sink is a bit wobbly, the rest was fine.
Breakfast is nice. On Saturday we had to leave early so they packed a light breakfast for us to go. The location is good. One day they ran out of water however they solved it well, by the next day the water was fixed again. You can get clothes sewn or buy clothes. By doing this you are supporting the young ladies who work there. Warm water is available. Ambiance is nice.

United KingdomI wish they left a thermos out at nights with hot water. The kitchen closes at 9, so if you need some tea after that you're out of luck. I wish there was a variety in breakfast. If you stay there pass 3-4 days you kinda need something else or maybe even the same but cooked in different ways. They used eggs a lot, between breakfast and dinner. I wish instead of a chicken leg as the meat, they could sometimes have fish. They can't do anything about this one but there's a Pentacostal church beside on the dorm side and it's very very loud. I felt like I was inside the church beside the box. However if you went to the lounge they have you wouldn't hear much. Overall it was a great stay.
I loved the location, it was a 20 minute walk from a major mall. The size of the room exceeded my expectations. Having a ceiling fan as well as well a standing fan was helpful. The staff was helpful for the most part. I loved the systems they have in place for ordering dinner, buying water/juice etc.

GhanaThis place has style and flair! I very much enjoyed my stay at Tumi Hostel and I am planning to return at some point. The home-made communal dinner creates a nice space to exchange with other guests (lots of international travelers). The breakfast is outstanding with brewed coffee (above general Standards in Ghana) homemade bread rolls, and fresh fruit juice. The hostel is beautifully located in a traditional residential area of Kumasi.

United KingdomThe location makes it a little difficult to get to the centre. Some beds will have a charging port next to them, but some also won't.
I don't usually write reviews, but this hostel may have been one of the most vibrant I've stayed in: it isn't just a hostel, it's also a hub of foreigners and locals. Most foreigners staying in or around Kumasi will know about TUMI, and during the weekly international dinner on Friday evenings many will join for the vibes. And to add to this, the staff, food, public spaces, and atmosphere are amazing! Not to mention you'll be supporting the TUMI's vision for women's empowerment, which you can see happening right on site.
