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.).

IndiaACs were off till 1pm which made the whole hostel very hot. Wall fans aren’t located strategically so some places don’t get enough air. An uncle started fighting with me when I tilted the fan little towards myself. Also the hostel has too many rules and absolutely no chill vibes. So in case you’re looking for a fun hangover, this ain’t the place.
Clean and spacious dorm. Good spread of breakfast. Nice location, easy to find. Toilets were clean and were always available.

ArgentinaThe day I arrived the guy on the reception asked me to cancel the reservation and offered me me a discount. I refused but he kept on insisting on and on, it was really uncomfortable. If you are going to do volunteer work with de misionerys of charity this place is to far away from.mother house to go there every day at 7 am.

IndiaWould appreciate it if the garbage is segregated. Currently, both wet waste and recyclables were all collected in 2 bins together. Would advise the management to have a separate bin for food waste and compostable garbage. And a separate bin for dry and recyclable waste to make it more efficient for city waste management teams. The property also has notices to not tip any of the workers, however, the watchman below the building followed me to the road while leaving early in the morning, requesting for tips which I found odd, especially since I had no real interaction with him during my stay. May be the management could ensure that he gets paid sufficiently for his service and that would be great. Also, please add a mirror in the dormitory as well.
My stay was good. People were nice and everything was as I had expected. Kitchen area is pretty spacious and convenient. There was hot water in the bathrooms which were cleaned regularly. Dormitory was cleaned as well. I arrived at midnight and Aman was kind to guide me over the phone to the property, especially since there were no cabs available that night for over 2 hours from the airport. There was drinking water available all the time, and food and grocery deliveries are also convenient to the area.

PortugalThe staff comes to clean the room every day around 8:30, they don’t knock, just turn on all the lights, making impossible to sleep. Also if you pay for the small room you pay more and will have to share the washroom with everyone else, but if you choose the bigger room with more people, you have a washroom only for the room, doesn’t make any sense the more expensive option is worse. Also there’s no possibility to have a only-female room, for women traveling alone may not be the best option.
Staff are really nice and spaced very clean

IndiaI had a fantastic experience at City Central Hostel! The dormitory-style setup was surprisingly comfortable, and the staff was incredibly friendly. The location was ideal, right in the heart of the city, making it convenient to explore. Clean facilities, vibrant atmosphere, and budget-friendly – I'd definitely stay here again!

IndiaShoes are lined up outside the room. It looks odd. There should be shoes rack out sides . Some borders aren't following the hostel rules. Such as not to enter the room and common hall with outside shoe, cleaning of utensils.This needs to be monitored. There are no bed lights, switching main lights, especially while sleeping, disturbing others. Low power floor light is suggested Ladders to climb on top bed is loose . It makes noise and disturbs sleeping.
