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.).

NetherlandsProbably because I went at the end of the season, there weren’t many foreigners or any activities organized by the hostel. The WiFi didn’t work sometimes, mostly in the evening and the mattresses were not the comfiest but it was overall a nice stay.
Hostel and staff were very nice, dorms are good and there is a small common area downstairs and a rooftop. Very central, a 5 min walk to the main Leh market, so a great location.

SlovakiaWe would welcome a little more cleaning from the hostel stuff, all of stayed for almost a week, so it would be nice to clean at least bathroom a bit more often.
Great location, 3 minutes walk from the cetre. We stayed in 4-beds dorm, which was enough for 5 nights stay for budget travellers.

IndiaThe ladders for the bunk beds could have an extra rung or two.
LeHostel fulfills all of the basic needs for a place to stay in Leh. Its rooms and bathrooms are cleaned daily. Clean drinking water is always available. The geysers run reliably. The beds are sturdy with comfortable mattresses along with a clean comforter. The staff help out whenever they can. Its location is good and it is within walking distance of the Leh Market road and the Leh Royal Palace. It also runs a small but great canteen for residents. I had a cheese omelette during breakfast often. The managers are excellent, very responsive and helpful. The common terrace offers a stunning view of the surrounding mountains.

IndiaYou should be prepared to walk up the stairs to your room with your luggage (2 floors), no lift. The approach road to the facility is pretty narrow, the 4 wheeler might have to go back in the reverse gear after dropping you for 100m

GermanyThere is no lift, so for some, this might be difficult. Also, they are reluctant to do an online transfer. Online transfers will take additional 2%. So carry cash. There is also no room service since this is a hostel.
The property is so ideally located with view of the Leh city and palace. Highly recommended for stays on budget!

Australia-The downstairs common room. Whilest the rooftop had an amazing atmosphere, when its cold or windy at night you don't want to be up there. The downstairs common area feels a bit stagnant and the staff use it as their hangout area- playing really loud music and watching movies in there- killing the social vibe.
-The rooms and bedding were spotlessly clean, the bathrooms were exceptionally clean too -The rooftop Terrace was an incredible spot to chill out and had amazing views of the city. The terrace alone is reason to stay here -The price and location is amazing. 2 minute walk to the main bazaar, right in the old town and 5 minutes from the Palace
