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.).

NetherlandsMaybe one more toiletfacility or showerfacility would be nice, so you do not have to wait in the morning.
Nice hostel with a very nice garden and amazing nice staff. Very cozy and home feeling. Not crowded and enough space. The garden has camping facilities, there is a huge kitchen, enough space to relax and even to wash and dry your clothes or just chill out. Really nice other travellers. Staff seem to be multilingual and good English is spoken anyway! Beds are okay, enough space also for luggage. Hostel is in a quiet area in Budapest, still by public transport you reach the center quick. Trainstation and metro station Budapest Kelenfold is in walking distance, or busstop Neszmelyi Utca (bus 153 or 154 from Kelenfold) is even closer. Shops and cafe is in walking distance. You can prepare your own food and coffee in the kitchen.

CanadaMake sure you write down the actual street address because there’s no sign outside. The daily cleaning was adequate but the whole place could use a good deep cleaning.
The hostel is located in a residential area outside the centre so it’s nice and quiet at night for sleeping but still has easy access to the city centre with a bus at the end of the street and a metro station 15 minutes away by foot. There’s a lovely garden outside to socialize in and everyone at the hostel was friendly. They even have laundry facilities for a fee.

BrazilThe comfort was the first issue. the pillows, blankets and mattresses wasn’t very good, had some struggles about that. The guests were too loud even in the early morning inside the room, with loud conversation and none of the staffs were concerned about it, so if you want to sleep a little bit late (like I always prefer) there isn’t the place for you :(
it’s a very free place so I felt very secure and chill. it was a nice place after all.

SlovakiaBeds were quite noisy, when someone moves it will probably wake u up, I recommend to have headphones or earplugs Bring your coffee and sugar :) I wish they would have a hair dryer :D
Staff was cool, atmosphere as well, I have met some pretty cool people in the garden, however it is not an accommodation suitable for everyone, you have to be a little open minded, and do not mind a little mess, as everyone feels truly free and it can look like a messy child room at first, but I enjoyed it :)

United StatesIt only has 1 full bath for the whole hostel and it was not very clean. The blanket was in bad condition and the towels were very old. We advised them that we were going to arrive late and we had to call them to finally enter the hostel.
It was close to the train station. So if you are going to arrive late, this is the place.

ChinaIt’s too far from the city center even you have a bike. My pillow is a disaster and only a blanket to cover, for me it’s really cold, I asked a quilt but didn’t get it. no privacy at all in the dorm. Mosquito and bugs are the another problem. If you stay in the dorm I will not recommend it.

NetherlandsLocation is far from the city center, about 30-40 minutes from Keleti station (which also means places to eat in the neighbourhood are very sparse)
This is the place to meet other (experienced) travellers. It might be a bit far from the city center, but it's close to Kelenföld station. Facilities are good, it also has a nice garden to chill when the weather is nice. It's just a relaxing place to be for some time and meet other travellers. Because yes, you're bound to meet other travellers and share some stories.

United KingdomWhilst it was kept tidy, the whole place needs a deep clean, it's quite grimey. The oven didn't work, and there were ants all over the kitchen. The pictures are very misleading, there is no bar in the hostel, all the pictures that show bars are actually a long way away in the city center. The location, whilst it is accessible by public transport, it is quite confusing and can be time consuming if you don't take the right route, I think this could be solved with better information within the hostel about the best routes to take. Generally there was a lack of information/contact from the hostel. There is only one shower for the whole hostel. Whilst it was okay, I will defo stay somewhere else next time.
Cheap price, good size private room, nice sized kitchen, lots of good social spaces outisde in a nice garden, staff were friendly.
