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.).

United KingdomThe room (top floor) was so stuffy and hot and it was only 18°c outside. Did make it hard to get to sleep.
Convenient location, really friendly and helpful staff, very clean and the mattress was very comfortable.

United KingdomCould have been cleaner as in the bedding and certain guests were a bit inconsiderate of others by using their phones first thing etc but that isn’t the hostels fault.
As hostels go this wasn’t too bad.

NetherlandsMy bedside lamp was broken so it was not working. I asked the staff to fix it, they said they will but it was still not working. I only stayed 2 nights so I could not ask to fix it again. It can get quite hot in the room so the window had to stay open. However, there were some people outside in the street screaming and laughing till it was 4am. I should have taken earplugs
The bathroom and shower was very clean. There's a lot so I never needed to wait for shower. The room itself is quite roomy and comfortable.

NetherlandsNothing it was great just the way it was.
The location from the hostel was perfect, it was close by the city. The staff was really nice and helped us with everything. The beds were clean and comfy and because of the curtains you had some privacy. We were with 8 girls and we got our own room so it was all perfect! Definitely recommended.

UkraineA place with very great potential, the appearance of which seems to be deliberately being tried to make unattractive and cheap. Terrible uncomfortable cold light everywhere, a noisy vending machine at the reception, creaking floors and stairs, foam sticks out of beds, very poor renovation in general Cleaning of the only men's shower began around 10:00 a.m. just as people were waking up, wanting to shower, and getting ready to leave. The line for Check in took 20-30 minutes, which was also a surprise; there were only 2-3 people ahead. They also ask you to wear a bracelet on your wrist at all times, like the ones security guards give you at nightclubs One could say that all this is justified by the low price, but no, there are many better offers in Dublin for the same price
Good location, polite staff

UkraineThe lockers are situated at the top of the bed which is not very comfortable. Also, it was my fault, but there is another office with the same name 2 buildings from the hostel, so I confused it and was ringing at the wrong door for 15 mins :( From receptionist reaction I understand that I'm not the first one person to be confused by this, so perhaps you could put a sign at that similar building, pointing out that the actual hostel is not there.
I had a very big room with lots of space. The beds are each enclosed with wooden panels which is nice in terms of privacy.

BrazilCleanliness could be better. My room was full of some flying bugs (the window was opened, so they were probably coming in by there). The beds have curtains, but even so, I couldn't sleep well since I was very afraid of the bugs. The hostel has several stairs and no lift, so it would not be recomemdable if you have a lot of luggage.
Great location. The staff is really nice and willing to help.

TaiwanThe socket charged very slowly. The bathrooms were really dirty and smelly. There were nothing in the room, except those beds. And it could get quite stuffy. The room was generally quiet but at one night someone was screaming outside.
It's cheap, near the city centre. They have curtains to block away the disturbance from other roommates, which was really nice.

The Hostel was located in a small residential area very close to Temple bar, making it accessible to night life, and for my first time staying in a mixed dorm as a women I had a positive experience.
