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 StatesRooms a bit cozy space wise, but the beds were comfy and had curtains which offered privacy.
Good location near a busy street, but ducked off so it’s still quiet. Shops, food, etc all with walking, but also easy access to rickshaw. Quiet and calm vibe..definitely not a party hostel, which I appreciate. A nice communal indoor/outdoor area, basic kitchen for cooking small meal or making tea, clean, hot shower with good water pressure. Strong WiFi.

United States6 bed female dorm was so small you could hardly move around. Staff wasn't very friendly.
It's really hard to tell what's going on in this hostel. The vibe is off. There are lockers and lights/outlets at every bed in the 6 bed female dorm. 1 female only bathroom. Breakfast was great!

United KingdomDorm room was small and narrow, but not an issue really. And if you have the bed next to the fan it can be quite annoying at night, but again - manageable.
Cool hostel with a nice vibe and really tasty breakfast. Was my first time in India as solo-female so wasn't sure what to expect, but this was a nice introduction. Good location too and sociable spaces. Bed was comfortable. There was also a female-only toilet/shower which was nice.

South AfricaThe dorm arrangement was a little short on space to move around.
Very basic backpackers with dorms. The place is small and adequate for budget travelers. The staff are friendly and the chill space is nice. The location is great. For basic budget traveling, this backpackers is great. If you want a little more comfort in terms of space or privacy, then better to look elsewhere.

United StatesNot much really, maybe have more instruction for guest on how to use the locks in the shower area would have been helpful for a first time visitor
Well the location was perfect for me, several blocks from Bloom a boutique hotel where my friends where staying. I like to travel to Hostels because you are aways meeting travelers who have to budget their $$$. not to mention when in a hotel you isolate yourself from meeting people. Did i mention that the money I save at a hostel allowed me to fly to Goa and stay at Palolem Beach for Seven days. You do the math.

United KingdomIt was sometimes hard to find staff to ask questions to so I resorted to asking other guests. The rooms were small and dark, very cramped and a bit claustrophobic. The bathrooms weren't great, and there were only 5 of them which were also showers so everything was always wet when you went to the loo.
The location is the number one reason to choose this hostel, right in Bandra West among great bars and restaurants etc, it really is the perfect location. The included breakfast was a great perk as well as only a couple hostels I've stayed in here in India have had that. There looked to be a good kitchen facility for cooking food for yourself though I didn't use it.

It's a classic hostel... Comfortable, clean, safe, friendly and social. The staff also really take care of you and make sure you enjoy your stay. The location is excellent, connected very well to travel to all parts of the city. You also have multiple restaurants around the hostel which was such a plus for me. All in all, a wonderful experience.

United KingdomBreakfast was included but it was ‘make it yourself’. Not a huge issue but if you’re not a confident cooker (like myself) it can be a little disappointing. Overall, I think a little overpriced for India compared to other stays I have had.
Very clean and social hostel. Staff were very helpful and the hang out area is great! Showers and toilets always being cleaned and dorm beds were very comfortable, all with privacy curtains and huge storage lockers. Felt very safe here as a female traveller.

RomaniaThere’s an inside shoes outside shoes policy which doesn’t seem to be the most convenient ( especially if you only have one set of flip flops), but nothing too bad. A few of the beds are missing the curtains, which could provide some privacy. I’d recommend installing some small shelves for each bed - the cuppies provided are impossible to clean properly and can get a little gross.
Great location, just off the busy street. Cozy little courtyard in the heart of the city. A different cooked breakfast offered every day. Friendly, helpful staff - especially Abhul, the only one who speaks great English. Good wifi. Good vibes, met some nice people.
