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.).

TurkeyI know it’s a hostel, everyone stays together & eats together, but since the current corona situation I would at least expect wearing a mask from the staff while they were talking on your face. There was only one guy who considered that and only once. One of the volunteer girls was even coughing while showing us the room, it was a little bit annoying since Im in the risk group and watching ourselves. They were nice tho. 2 am in the night people were screaming on the speaker and being super loud, but again it’s a hostel, that happens. Other than that it was a nice stay.
The location is just AWESOME. I think that’s the main/only thing worth to stay for the double room instead of hotel rooms. (Same price, no private bathroom) You can discover a lot of attractive, little streets around. The room was clean.

NetherlandsNot all the staff spoke English that well, which is not a problem, but it ended up in a miscommunication about the laundry, which we were to collect in the morning, but it turned out it wasn't washed or dried yet. However, that was solved, hung out to dry and in the end we collected the laundry later that day.
Superb location! Right in the middle of Genova, but also close to a (paid) parking garage where we put our car. Friendly staff. We were in a different building from all the dorms, so it was quiet and comfortable at night. We received an interactive map and guide with all the Genova local tips. We were not disappointed by the tips about Focaccia and Pesto. Super!

United StatesA thousand steps up to the building. A thousand more inside to find out I was in a room at the other location. But if youre in the first lócstion that's what you have to contend with.. No elevator millions of stairs. Second location elevator was like a coffin.. Sent luggage up but climbed 6 flights to room. No heat, mold in bathroom shower, just not a good place.
Not much but the location.

United KingdomThat I had to leave Genova so quickly!
Though I stayed there only a few hours (arrived late and left early), I was greeted by everyone I saw (staff and guests). The breakfast was abundant and with a great choice of products. And the room was great, with lockers that you are given a lock to use in case you've not got one.

GermanyI had a bed in a dormitory. The beds on the top have no privacy, the mattress was old and sagging. After a couple of minutes lying it started itching. I had bites from bedbugs as the symptoms remain until I left. It was so loud as the people in the hostel were having a little party or something. Falling asleep before 12pm?no way.. I would not choose this hostel again and I think the price is way to high for what you get.
the location is great, very central spacious kitchen

GermanyWe received a very warm welcome. The hostel is very well equipped and super clean. We found everything we needed for a cosy breakfast in the kitchen. The location is very central. Although we were there on Halloween and there was partying in the street, we didn't hear anything in our room. The children also felt very comfortable.
