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.).

GermanyThe garden is huge, filled with plants, truly amazing. Bar has great drinks at fair prices. Everything is sparklingly clean. Rooms have high ceilings and big windows, beds are comfy with blackout curtains that cover 100% of the exposed bed area. The staff is exceptional and beyond expectations, they're the ones that make this a must stay. Will definitely visit again.

ItalyBaloo is a beautiful hostel and a magical place! it is ideal for visiting Athens, being in a central position, and it is also a suitable place to meet new people, as it has a garden - Bar, and a very large shared kitchen! the structure is very welcoming and clean and the staff (Tomas, Dimitra, Alexandra, Evans) are the added value of this structure! I'll be back for sure!

CanadaI did not use the kitchen although it looked great. Maybe I would have used more if I was better informed about what is available/ included.
The staff was fantastically friendly helpful and attentive. I liked the building architecture and interior decor. The interior court bar and lounge was a really fantastic gathering place and to receive guests as well.

United KingdomI had a fantastic stay here, I met such a lovely group of other solo travellers of different ages and it is easy to get to the old town by walking. The hostel was modern and beautifully presented, it's not too big and it had an outside bar at night so it was easy to make friends. Massive thank you to Tom and Alex working there, it was nice to meet you! I had my birthday there and they went above and beyond to make it an extra special day for me with a balloon explosion on my bunk and a bottle of prosecco to share with my new friends at night. If I find myself in Athens again I will be sure to head back to Baloo Hostel.

GermanyIts a beautiful boutique hostel with personality, away from standard 'cold' chain hostels. Each corner was decorated and designed with love, and it's nice to hear about the birth of this hostel by his owners. Incredible variety of tea for breakfast:) (coffee also available). The patio and the bar outside: an excellent meeting point to socialize with other guests. Big rooms, comfy beds with curtains for privacy and storage space under the bed for luggage and clean Bathrooms. Location near the metro station Omonia.

GermanyThere were no blankets, only bedlinen, so it was a bit cold in the night. The neighborhood is definitely dodgy so just have to watch out when walking around. But everything feels super safe in the hostel itself.
Beautiful and comfortable hostel to stay in. So new and modern, a little gem in the city. Bathroom and showers were very clean which is very unusual for a hostel. And the bar looked very stylish !!! Well done with making the stay pleasant.

SingaporeWalked from Omonia station at night and felt quite unsafe. It was ok in the early morning, about a ten minute walk to the main railway station. The beds are clean but wish there was a bit more in the spacious room - more hooks, or some hangers?
The toilet was clean (there were only two people in our four bedder) but the whole shower area will get wet when you take a shower! The kitchen and dining area was well stocked and cosy. The air con was very strong and powerful (was actually a bit too cold!).
