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.).

IndonesiaThe booking was card only when we would have preferred to use cash. The water pressure was terrible. If 2 people were showering, the water would come out in a trickle. The bathrooms didn't have shelves for shower supplies and the facilities were so dirty. Scummy. It looks like they never clean the shower or the bathroom or the sinks. It was disgusting. The hand soap was so watery that it didn't lather.
The location was convenient and I'm happy they were awake when we arrived at 3:30 am from the train station. The staff was polite and trustworthy. They allowed us to store our bags behind the front desk while we explored the town and our belongings were safe.

SwitzerlandThe showerbrush was really rusty so it smelled a lot like rust and also your hair and everything. The toilet was also not so nice but for the money I guess its okey.
It was really nice decorated and the wifi was very good! Also I liked the style of the whole hostel. Location perfect but a little bit hard to find.

United StatesIt was super dirty, no toilet paper, shower with barely any pressure. Staff just laid down smoking most of the time and not too helpfully. Bed sheets stained, and capsules were super dirty; if you had the bottom bunk then you felt like ants were crawling on you. The door to the rooms were hard to open. Looks modern in picture but very much is not.
There were a lot of travelers but not social

United Kingdom- non English speaking staff - Unclean - No toilet paper - Red ants all over my bed - Unsociable - Freezing cold rooms - Dripping aircon which dripped all day & night creating a flood in the room - Does not look anything like the photos online - No atmosphere - There is no ‘cafe’ it is a Barron, dilapidated coffee shop on the ground floor collecting dust - No hot water - Loud at night - Claustrophobic beds - No proper space to leave your bags - Wi-Fi only exists in the lobby - Cramped living space - Next to the road so very noisy at night - Dirty, reused blankets - Left early as we disliked it so much - I never leave reviews but I thought for the price we paid we should warn other travellers not to go near this hostel. Would absolutely not recommend to anyone.

NetherlandsThe property doesn't match what is described on booking on a lot of grounds. The restaurant (from which all the nice coffee photos are coming) doesn't exist anymore. The common areas as described on booking(garden, Terrace and game room) do not exist. There is only a lobby with one table and four bean bags. Also the hostel is not smoke free, there are ashtrays in all hallways and in the lobby, the smell was horrible at times. Also, everything was very dirty. Bathrooms and lockers were full of rust and tarnish. I found someone else's used towel in my locker when i opened it. The bed linnen was full of stains, there where spider webs and a lot of dust. My friend found ants in her bed. Would not recommend going here, especially considering the price
Location near center and facilities is great. Possibility to book tours at reception is nice. Staff was friendly but spoke little English.
