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.).

IsraelThe receptionist that checked us in was really informative and nice but, we scheduled with him a pick up in the early morning 0545 and he didn't show up.. I had to call the number on the front desk and the guy helped us and ordered a regular Taxi, Luckily we made it on time for the flight. * There was no blanket in the room
It was really clean, the location was great! The room was really new and felt like they just renovated it. The staff was nice and informative

United StatesThe power outlet over my bunk was a little hard to reach, but this was not a major issue.
The best hostels have their own "spirit" or character that makes staying in them enjoyable, over and above the benefit of saving money. This hostel definitely had that, with helpful staff, well-appointed community facilities, and a welcoming atmosphere.

United KingdomNot sure why all the toilets on the bottom floor next to the room were for women. Not sure why there's a lock for the door to the two showers. Should be a lock for each shower.

PortugalThe kitchen was quite hot. I asked in advance for a bottom bunk bed and they didn't reserve one. I was lucky one of the other guests agreed to switch with me.
Nice rooftop, met amazing people. AC in the room though the AC was a bit weird, it was at 22°C but felt warmer. Curtains in the beds and outlets to charge the phone. Kitchen and towels available to rent. Central and close to a supermarket and restaurants. Wifi worked well.

NetherlandsI was only there for two nights, but what I noticed is that the matresses were a bit hard. For a few nights, I think that is OK. It's only a minor inconvenience, but when you're sleeping at the hostel for more than a week for example, I don't know if your back will like that.
Staff was very social, helpful and accessible. Pavlos was a great host and a really great guy overall, told me all about Iraklion. I really loved the rooftop bar, there's enough room to chill out and enjoy the weather as well as the cool breeze at night. The reception room had a very relieving cool temperature from the AC as well, which was quite nice when entering the building. The living room/kitchen space was spacious and very nicely decorated and the bathrooms were clean, albeit a bit small.

United KingdomVery few downsides, once major one for me was the showers. They were all co-ed which would have been fine if they were in locking cubicles. However, they weren’t. The showers were in rows of three facing into the bathrooms and main corridors which only a curtain blocking everyone’s view. You could not put a towel inside with you which made me as a young solo female traveler feel quite unsafe while showering. Another thing was that despite what the name suggests this is not a youth hostel. I ended up sharing the room with quite a few older men which again made me a little uncomfortable. Not the hostels fault but something to note.
I loved the privacy curtains across the beds, they allowed you to have some me time in an otherwise crowded room. The hostel itself was also so clean, I saw cleaners every morning making sure everything was working. The common areas, both the upstairs and the kitchen were also lovely and very nice to spend some time in when you didn’t feel like being in bed.

The hostel was very well organised and impressively clean. Although due to my flight I arrived late, everything was prepared for me and it was very easy to find my way around and use the facilities. Particularly the bathrooms/toilets were spotless and the room had plenty of space to move around, while not disturbing other occupants. Big bonus the lockers in the room.

GermanyIt has all you can ask for in a hostel and more. The amazingly beautiful roof gives you the feeling of a garden right over the roofs of the town. The let me stay there for the night as my flight landed at 2 a.m. and I did not book a room for this short night. Showers are clean, everything is very modern and beautiful. Was a nice stay!

CanadaPerfect location for getting around the old town in Heraklion, clean modern room with a nice bathroom. Very tidy, well-appointed kitchen with drinkable tap water from one of the taps (they advise not to drink Heraklion's tap water). Really nice value for money, was very quiet because of the time of year.
