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.).

United KingdomThey need a lock on the bathroom door - a fellow guest entered and opened the shower curtain when I was naked inside. The kitchen had ants everywhere. The bedroom had spiders all along the walls. It’s a shame because staff very friendly and good location, but maybe need a cleaner/locks :)
Good location, friendly staff! Allowed us to store our luggage throughout the day!

UkraineVery nice place for spending some nights. Good location, not far from centre and everything. All areas are clean and modern. Little and comfortable. Everything is functional and thought out to the smallest details. Beds are really good. Nice kitchen to use with everything you might need. The best hostel I ever been! And staff is very friendly and helpful ) Some things exceeded my expectations and it was a nice surprise.

United KingdomDirty and crammed as soon as you enter. Lots of clothes and bags in there that don’t seem like any travellers’. Fridge was dirty and had mouldy food in it. There is no vending machines. Bed had ants on it and towel had a strange smell. Women’s sanitary towel was over flowing (that can’t have been emptied in ages) I booked as a last minute stop over, arriving late, and I wouldn’t suggest it at all. It’s a fair walk from the bus and train station of with luggage. (20 mins) I really wouldn’t stay here again. Possibly one of the worst hostels I’ve ever stayed in. No one is manning this hostel which means it is dirty and a mess. It is far from the photos.

United KingdomAs soon as I entered the hostel, the ‘vibe was off’- this is not a hostel for solo travellers!! This hostel consists of a single dormitory, which is located in the basement with no natural light. Although the basement is cool, the beds are very small, and the mattress is extremely uncomfortable, which made for a bad night's sleep. Apparently, the hostel operates its main door with a Nuki lock, but not all guests adhered to locking it behind them. Very scarily, every single time I came back to the hostel, the door was open, and anyone could have wandered down to the room. This made for a frightening night's sleep as I was afraid for my safety. To add to that, the lockers were very small, so bags were vulnerable to theft as they had to be left out on the dorm floor. The bathroom, which was kept relatively clean, had no working cold water in the main sink so when you turned it on, only scaldingly hot water would come out. The kitchen is small and is kept very untidily by permanent residents that reside at the hostel. There was also no communal area which made socialising and meeting people difficult. The location was also not ideal as it was quite far out, although I knew this before my stay. Please don’t make the same mistake I did and book a stay at Hostel OT.
Hands down, the worst hostel I have ever stayed at. Please don’t book!

PortugalI would like to expresss my deep discontentement regarding my most recent booking at Hostel OT, in Split (5th to 6th June). This hostel should not be considered as a hostel. Upon arrival, no one checked our identification, there was no check-in, no statf to welcome us. The hostel consisted on a kitchen and a basement with 12 beds. There were no windows, the room was dirty and the outside door was completely shattered as if anyone could get in. The pictures advertised on booking did not match reality at all. At some point, 5 men arrived and they looked like they were living there permanently. This was a very uncomfortable situation and we decided it was not safe for us to stay there, as 6 girls and for anyone, it was an unacceptable scenario. We went on to look for another place to stay and later we were informed that that Hostel OT did not even have a permit to be acting as a hostel. The pictures available on Booking ate not representative of what is happening in that Hostel, and it should not be allowed to receive guests as it is. I am placing this complaint because situations like these should be prevented from happening, and we had to look for alternative decisions last minute late in the evening. As a result, we would like to ask for a total refund of this booking with our most sincere concerning. We ended up being in a very stressful situation that could have ended up in a blank night outside. We hope this situation is taken care of smoothly otherwise we will have to resort to our lawyers and we do not want to resort to such drastic measures.
We did not even stay there, we left.

nice owner, developed self service , good matresses and bed sheets , outside of the classical touristic spots which is always good . definitely no mistake to spend a night there

BelgiumEverything was prefect.
Exceptional for the price, right downtown, prefect location, a 3 minute walk from the sea. Before all, we appreciated Abu, the receptionist, check in in 5 seconds, quicker than in a 5 star Radison Blu Resort and spa where we has been saying before Abu. Abu even spoke French to me. Smiling and hospitable. As for the kitchen, we easily cooked dinner on the clean induction stove. Family atmosphere like in Belgium. Very big room for 2 with a big comfortable bed like in Sicily. Strongly recommended for low budget and friendly attitude.

United KingdomIt's a little bit too small, there isn't enough space and the communal area near the kitchen is tiny. Coming there with a group of friends might be tricky, but definitely recommend for solo travellers!
I like the fact that you simply reserve a bed and everything is there ready for you. There is pretty much no receiptionists and it's just plain simple. The place is small but you get everything you need. A kitchen, bathroom, iron and washing machine with a dryer.
