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.).

IndiaThe property is near the beach and it was easy to arrive through the public transport. The place was peaceful and at the same time had a good vibe. I was able to work peacefully and at the same time meet a lot of travellers and spend quality time with them. Had a good internet connection. Good place for a workcation. Note - I went in off season hope it's same throughout. The rooms are neat and clean. The hosts Akshay and Komal are helpful and friendly. I loved my stay in Hostel Mandala. I would love to revisit.

IndiaHostel Mandala had a terrace where I could peacefully read books when I was not roaming around. Terrace had an amazing sea view. And there were adorable cats and a dog there too. And I got to meet very interesting people whom I got along with. The manager was very helpful and friendly. She suggested I go to the Hilltop flea market and I am so glad I did. You never find those kind of unique stalls in Pune. Since it's a well maintained hostel it attracts very interesting people too. 😊

But the most unbelievable person was Akki, she helped us with renting motorbikes and arranged a cab for us while nobody else wanted to drive us in the early morning. Great Thanks to Akki!!!

GermanyIt is by far the best hostel I have ever been to. The room was very clean and the bed was cozy, so I felt very comfortable. The location of the hostel is great, so everything was easily accessible. Akki in particular was so sweet and helpful. I felt like I was in good hands there, even when I was sick, I was looked after. As a woman traveling alone, I met great people there. I can only recommend everyone to go to this hostel!

United KingdomOnly slight improvement I’d suggest would be if staff could explain the facilities on check in. I didn’t realise there was a roof terrace for several days but this could have been because I checked in at an odd time. Also can be little noisy with people returning from nights out to the dorms. This is no fault of the hostel as they do have a dedicated quiet time but you can get inconsiderate guests.
Good location close to the beach and everything you need is easily accessible. Each room has lockers for valuables. Staff were very friendly and helpful with everything. Loved that each bed had privacy curtain, light and charging socket.
