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.).

ItalyThe cleanliness was ok, but it can be improved a lot. The bed wasn't that comfortable, but for one night it did its work.
The position was perfect, 10 minutes walk from one of the most famous ruin pub in Budapest. They upgraded our twin room with a small apartment located in another street, 5 minutes form the reception so we had no problem with that.

IrelandFew things: 1) Shower, messiness and not cleaning after people who previously used it: old towels, clothes, shampoo. Weird as sometimes there is place to leave your own stuff. 2) Dealing with more serious issues and I will keep it private due to resolution we finally made with management. It was very challenging experience. Good thing they stood up like a hosts and kept integrity with solution. 3) Sheets changing time if you stay longer, make sure to remind reception.
Staff approach. Kindness, being helpful and for people. They are really committed team. Towel are given for Free. Owner was open and shared his story, also provided Iron when asked. Generally good feeling. Shower ,usually only one person occupy space even there is many people in the hostel.

United StatesThe three things I didn't like was not having A/C, mixed dormitory, and hitting my head on the upper bunk.
First of all, the people who run this place are amazing and genuinely nice people. Second, I love the location of this place and across the street is a great pastry place and the coke is 50 forint less than at the hostel. Third, I really enjoyed the coffee they make for you. Sometimes you pay for it and sometimes they offer it to you for free. I slept very well and the mattresses are actually comfortable. It is clean.

United KingdomAlthough it didn’t affect me, this hostel felt that it was exclusively for local people looking for work in the area, with some Ukrainians and Syrians. I was the only tourist. This would not be for a young backpacker looking to meet like minded people, and make friends. The kitchen only had a kettle, microwave and fridge. There was no hobs or oven for cooking.
The location was perfect for me, quite near the main train station. The walk to the centre of Budapest was short and pleasant.

MaltaThe stairs to the apartment were very slippery and I slipped down the stairs when coming down. Please put up a sign to warn guests or rubber strips on the stairs to make them less slippery. There's a lift that one can use but since the apartment is on the first floor we thought it would be quicker to use the stairs.
When we arrived we were told that we were going to get a free upgrade to Melisa Apartments. The apartment was very clean and comfortable with a little kitchenette, great AC. It was a perfect little place.

HungaryPlease someone lubricate the fan. The bedsheets were not clean tbh. But the room was clean. And I would recommend this place for solo travellers and someone who is looking for 1 night or 2-night stay in Budapest with a reasonable price. Otherwise, i would suggest a different place.
Well the good thing was the reception and 24/7 working hours. The location is superb as well. Good wifi, big enough locker to restore the baggage. Price was good, i think it's literally the best one in this price range in Budapest. I will visit again for sure one day.
