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.).

SingaporeThe aircon in the room was kind of faulty. The air coming out of it was warm despite tuning the temperature, so the room was pretty hot sometimes. The shower doors are also very small, meaning other people in the showers can see some parts of you naked. However, during my stay, I rarely bumped into anyone in the toilet so this wasn't a concern of mine. Location wise, this hostel is near Bologna station but pretty far from any Line A metro stations.
The toilets and showers were very clean. I loved the automatic taps and availability of soap in the showers. The bed was quite comfortable.

UkraineROOM: BEWARE OF THE BEDBUGS. HOSTEL REFUNDED ME THE COST OF LIVING.
Booked this hostel for 1 night, paid 37 $ in April 2024. RECEPTION: Guys were friendly and helpful. I think they care about their guests. ROOM: I lived in "Male Dormitory Room with External Bathroom". Room with 4 beds. Overall the room was clean, with lockers and table, big window. The bed was quite comfortable with a socket on the wall. BATHROOM: Located outside the room, it is public bathroom. It was clean, water was warm and the pressure was ok. Shampoo, soap and towels are not provided. But the design of shower cubicles are little bit strange, not practical. CHECK OUT: 10:00

MaltaThe bed I had was a little bit uncomfortable. They mentioned that they provide lunch and dinner as well, but whenever I went at the mentioned times, I did not see anything. I would either have to but food at an additional cost or go to a nearby restaurant.
Location was quite easy to find. Not too far from any of the major sights and landmarks, only a few stops away by metro. Facilities were clean and staff were friendly. Breakfast was provided every morning and was great.

DenmarkVery expensive compared to all other hostels I've stayed at with the same facilities. Probably not too expensive considering its Rome though. Only every other bed has a plug for charging, no shelf for your phone, nothing to sit up against in the bed. My pillow almost fell out of the bed during the night, because there is nothing at the end of the bed. The showers dont offer a lot of privacy.. there is just a small American western style door of about a meter in height, which just swings open, and everyone can see your head and legs while showering. There is even a gab of about 1 cm between the doors, so that someone could probably see your very private parts. But if you are going to Rome, and cant find anything cheaper with good ratings, this is a fine place to stay
Staff was very nice. It was very clean, and the bathrooms and rooms were cleaned daily. The food was alright. A bit far from the city center of Rome, but it wasn't too bad with the metro. Very spacious rooms and big lockers. You could store your bags for free in a locked room after check out.

GuatemalaIf you are placed in the second level end of the hall, please mind that the bathroom will be a bit far from your room. Aside from that, everything good.
I arrived at 5 AM to Roma and the Hostel was opened, it had a common area next to the recepcion where I could sleep for around 3 hours more, and I thank the staff for not telling anything. The facilities are very clean, very neat.

Czech RepublicThere's a kitchen, in case you want to heat something up or have a tea at night -- but the kitchen & fridge are both soooooooooooo basic, that you really wouldn't be counting on it, for anything except a fork. There's also a small restaurant there, but it was never open when the sign indicated that it 'would' be open (unless it was early morning for breakfast) -- anyway, Rome has got so many restaurants -- but, either you're open or you're not...
for me, it was really nice to be "away" from the heavy tourist areas. there were enough connections with bus or metro to get to the tourist areas. Rome attractions anyway are all over the city. I also didn't want to be near Termini Station -- so I chose instead to come in from Milan to Rome Tiburtina. Lockers in the room. The room was clean & there was a sink to wash your face & brush teeth -- bathroom down the hallway. Breakfast was offered for a cheap price -- very very basic, but enough to start your day & the staff were oh so lovely! What I liked the most was the neighbourhood was very "Italian" -- cafes, takeaway places etc -- that were not over-run by tourists! The girls working at the reception were quite lovely. There's an elevator, as well -- and cheap coffee from the machine there! The area of the city was very very safe, for sure -- I would not feel nervous walking around alone as a woman.

SpainThere is a distance from the city center, and if the Rome metro happens to stop running, then it will be a little inconvenient. The room I was assigned was at the end of the hallway, and the bathroom was quite far away from the room, It would take me some time to walk there.
Overall, it is quite a good hostel, surrounded by a university town, very dynamic. The room was clean and quiet. Fully equipped. Met great roommates, we chatted a lot. The next day I even had dinner with one of my roommates and spent the night wandering around the Colosseum. I had to catch a bus to Naples the next day at a nearby bus stop (which was quite close to the hotel). The staff recommended a very nice park that I could visit in the morning to relax, and I had good panini and gelato nearby.
