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.).

IrelandMyself and my partner stayed here for one evening last weekend and we found the accommodation to be excellent. We were greeted with a friendly smile and made to feel at home instantly. The hostel is spotlessly clean and the facilities excellent. There is a fully functioning kitchen and dining area which would be handy if staying for more than one evening. The hostel is centrally located also. We will definitely be back! :)

Central location.. clean, functional, and comfortable. Not that it made any difference, I noted there is no TV in the room. The lady on reception was very helpful and pleasant to deal with.

United KingdomOat or other plant milk would be great. And a few condiments like ketchup and cooking oil would be useful too.
The place is completely spotless, not a scuff mark on it. The economy double twin bunks room is a bit small, but it's functional, clean and exceptionally well-maintained. The ensuite bathroom's shower was bigger than I expected too. The social area is large and comfortable, and the kitchen is immaculate.

United KingdomFire Exit sign above the door illuminates the whole room when all the lights are off, had to use a pair of my trousers to cover it and the difference it made was unbelievable! Also had annoying flashing green light above the bed which is offputting when trying to sleep. Bed itself was comfy enough although did feel the sheets and pillows weren't of the best quality and did feel too warm at points throughout the night which made for a stop/start night's sleep. Right next to the road so traffic noise is unavoidable so if youre a light sleeper like myself i would bring ear buds and an eye mask.
Lovely, welcoming, friendly staff. Great shower. Clean premises. Excellent value for money. Central location - only 5 mins walk (if that!) from city centre. Nice, cosy and warm inside.
