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.).

GreeceThe price could have been a little bit lower, taking into account that it is a hostel (a space where normally would have been for 2 twin rooms is used by 12 people) and that it's Athens and not Helsinki for example. But of course that's my point of view.
Nice bunker beds. I got a feeling of privacy even if I was staying in a room with 11 more guests. Excellent location near the Keramikos metro station. The hostel was really cute. Shared bathroom was comfortable and fully equipped. I was even provided with a towel, free of charge!

LebanonHowever, the dorm room I stayed in this time wasn't as good as the previous ones! It was small & the distance between the 2 bunk beds was very narrow. So I much prefer the bigger ones, with a balcony where I can sunbathe 😄
Regular in this very well-located cozy hostel. I like it's lobby/reception area where I can sit for hours not getting bored! I will keep comin back:)

SpainI'd like to note that my review reflects my personal experience, and while it's important for others to consider, it's subjective. I've stayed in many hostels where the reception staff are welcoming and provide useful city information. However, in this case, I found the communication awkward, and I didn't receive any helpful information. The bed was comfortable, but the room was consistently dark, and there was a sense of discomfort in making any noise during the day as it seemed everyone was asleep. While I appreciate the combined toilet and shower, having them inside the room led to a slight odor issue (which can be unfortunately normal to happen but just to let you know) Lastly, the storage space, essentially a hole in the floor, left my clothes smelling of mold. These are just my observations and may not be representative of everyone's experience. In general, for price that you pay you feel completely fine.
The hostel is located in a very good area. The tube station is only a 2-minute walk away (just 2 stops to the center) and you can comfortably walk to the Acropolis and the city center in about 15 minutes. I traveled by myself, and the area is filled with locals, so when you return at night, there are people around, making you feel safe. It's a nice area, but if you're in the center of Athens at late night, especially alone, I recommend taking a bus because the path can be empty and poorly illuminated, which might feel unsafe. I will come back as I like where it is if I compare where the others hostels and the areas, it is cheap and safe. The experience was in general very nice.

United KingdomVery noisy at night/into early hours with many bars/clubs in the area...not for those who want to sleep. Also the hostel did not have many other guests in mid-March even though there were plenty of tourists in Athens.
Close to metro & only 1 stop to center with communal area offering plenty of comfy seating for the free but basic breakfast.

DenmarkHad two different bedrooms and the second one was clearly just finished , which meant that many things were not really working fine , clean or smartly thought. Breakfast was available but didn't really present any decent options. The area where the hostel is placed is not that close to the touristic attractions and would say it feels a bit sketchy to go alone around . A bunch of nice bars around though
Beds were decently comfortable, soft mattresses. Each room had its own bathroom and there is a rooftop available, as well as a small kitchen. Easy to get from airport

LuxembourgThe neighborhood is great for nightlife if you're into it, but might be a get noisy. Although the place is in a quiet area and I had no problems sleeping. Not super close to the historic center. 15-20 min walk to the Acropolis and Ermou street.
The staff was great. The rooms and bathrooms were clean. They provide you with towels. Each bed has an electric socket, light and a curtain in case you need some privacy. Nice terrace on the top floor

LithuaniaI believe we did not have the best luck with the placement of our space in the room, as the area we were located in did not receive any daylight and getting fresh air without completely opening the curtains was a challenge. If you are not a light sleeper, it might be very difficult to wake up. The bathroom was in an okay condition, a shelf in the shower could have been very helpful however.
The location is amazing, just a few minutes away from the Kerameikos metro station. There are plenty of places to eat and have a drink close by. The rooftop terrace was a great addition to the hostel and overall experience. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
