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.).

SpainThe two indian guys in the room had been unrespectful, talking at the phone day and night, regardless to my request to not make noise and I had to contact the receptionist many times about that situation. Never seen such stupid people.
I have reserved a bed in a six bedroom but they assigned me a 4 bedroom, shared with other 3 guys for the whole month. I paid 2,04 € extra on the reservation.

United Kingdomas it is close to the main road, the noise of cars passing by is quite disturbing especially during the night. a lot of emergency transport vehicles also passed by throughout the day so if you are sensitive to noise, I wouldn't recommend staying here. the room is also quite dusty but it is understandable due to the old condition of the building.
the staff was very welcoming when we first arrived and showed us around the accommodation. the location is also great as it is very close to a transport link. the facilities are also quite nice for the price we paid. All in all, if you are looking for a cheap but good stay, this accommodation is a good choice.

AustraliaWe only saw the manager a few times as he was doing deliveries on his motorbike. The Kitchen was dirty so we cleaned it up(blame the other guests). We noticed that the shower area was about the only part of the floor that was moped. The shower head was broken and the shower curtain was too short so the floor was always awash from other guests.
The location was excellent as the underground and the main train station were very close by.

United Kingdomwhen we arrived the guy barely said a word, there are weird manikins everywhere which was disconcerting nothing was clean and the kitchen smelled awful. there was no cutlery until the third night the stove barely worked the shower was absolutely disgusting and the floor by the sink was always soaked. for whatever reason there are hundreds of empty pickle jars which I’m assuming were intended to be used as glasses as there were none although I never braved using one. the fridge looked like it had never been cleaned and the microwaved looked like it has lived quite a life. it had all the facilities it listed but whether you have the courage to use them is questionable.
owner offered to let us leave our bags for a bit after check out, our room was ok and is neat keleti station

GermanyDownstairs you need to remember the key number and then hurry because there is a second door that is opened with the same procedure. When we arrived, he appeared to be directive, but after a few words and a joke, the mood changed and we felt welcome. We did not like the first room which he offered, but then we could switch to another one :-) for the same price because it was free.
direct opposite of railway station. The sign "Hostel" downstairs is only visible if you come from railway station, not if you come from the city side the guy waited for us at the announced time in the evening. He sleeps in the same location upstairs, so in case of issues you could reach him, but he did not disturb us during our stay. We could work as we wanted. Checkout was easy, we just left the keys at the door. Nice design for train lovers.

Poland1. Hostel was extremely dirty and stinky. For this price we didn't expect much but what we have seen was unacceptable. We stayed up for 5 days - it was dirty when we arrived and it was dirty when we left. Noone cleaned it up even once. We include pictures. 2. Before the arrival we texted hostel owner if he prefered payment in EUR or HUF. He told us it was no difference and we can pay however we want. When we arrived with EUR he told us that they don't use this currency there and he could not give us the change so we had to overpay. What else could we do in this situation? Noone would change us money in foreign currency anyway... 3. Shower curtain did not cover up the shower so every single shower was a new flood. 4. In the corridor was a mannequin dressed up in sexy ladies' lingerie. It was totally creepy and my girlfriend was scared to sleep in there. 5. We don't recommend this hostel. Even for that price it was too expensive.
Only location. Nothing more.

PolandIt's not a typical hostel, rather a flat with 6 beds. It's quite tight.
Comfortable beds, clean, owner is always there for you. Quite good location. 5 mins of walk and you underground and buses that will take you wherever you want. Each bed has a big cage in which you can leave your luggage. There are no bunk beds, so you won't have to climb :)

Bathroom and toilet just next to the bed, everything was clean. Plenty of towels to use. The room was quiet despite being located at Baross tér, one of the busiest places in Budapest (hostel is located on the yard side, not the street side). The staff was helpful, too. :)

PakistanThe overall aroma of the hostel was not impressive. The location was good, next to the main train station, but the building is very old and there is no clear signs of the property outside so it's hard for the very first time to locate it.
Actually the place was the cheapest option in budhapist but i would say it needs improvement.
