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.).

IndiaEverything was very much fine.
The hostel boasts a prime location in the vibrant area of Chinatown, just a short stroll from Motomachi-Chukagai railway station. Additionally, it offers proximity to the picturesque Yamashita Park and several other captivating attractions along the way to Minatomirai. Managed by a delightful couple, the hostel provides exceptional hospitality, readily assisting guests with just a simple phone call. Despite its compact size, the space is thoughtfully designed, featuring a cozy seating area and a small kitchen equipped with essential appliances like an electric kettle, microwave, toaster, and induction cooker, along with a selection of useful utensils. Overall, it offers a pleasant and budget-friendly accommodation option.

CanadaIt's a perfect place for travelling on your own. Because the shared space is within the same room as the bunks you have to stay out if you want to talk to the people you have travelled with. I personally really like the layouts where the beds are seperate from the social space so that you can talk to people without annoying people trying to sleep. However I appreciate that this is clearly stated on the advert that this is how this place works so i knew what I was getting myself in for
Staff member was very welcoming. Have fit a lot of stuff into a small space

PhilippinesSometimes the beds would make squeaky noises but not that loud. And because of the AC, I think I could smell alcohol from someone while I slept I think I caught a strong alcohol odor or sweat. But I get that it can't be helped since the spaces are pretty tight.
I liked that it was located at the center of Chukagai and near Yamashita Park and the Gundam Factory

SingaporeThe hostel is on the smaller side with only around 20 beds, some oriented parallel to the wall and others perpendicular. The parallel ones seemed far more comfy. Each bed only has a curtain for privacy, meaning sound is likely to leak if someone goes to the bathroom as the corridor is shared by everyone. The space to store luggage eventually became more cluttered as other guests brought large luggages.
I stayed in 3 different hostels during my most recent Japan trip, Chillulu was arguably my favorite of them. Built on the second floor of a cafe, it always had a pleasant aroma and was exceptionally clean and well-kempt from my bed to the shower facilities. Ryu was exceptionally friendly and introduced me to the other guests as well as gave recommendations for eateries and attractions where he was able. Along the staircase there was also a list of current events and a map of Yokohama. 5 minutes away was Yamashita Park, 15 minutes away was Osanbashi Pier, this is excellent if you are the type to take pictures of the sunrise as both provide great views of the horizon. Being in Chinatown, there are so many great eateries around. + It had a toaster which makes a majority of convenience store food taste better than a microwave.

United StatesCheckout instructions could've been a bit more clear. Because the whole hostel is in a cramped space, there is an unsaid expectation that one should be fully departed by the checkout time whereas other hostels/hotels I've stayed in only care that you've departed the room/bed. Communication wasn't as clear on this point.
Beds were comfortable. Location was great.

JapanUnfortunately I found someone elses hair on my bed :( other than that: it was a good stay. With more people I see how it would get a bit cramped and maybe louder: The hostel is basically one long room on the second floor. The fridge & kitchen supplies, 2 showers & 2 toilets are separated from the sleeping and common area with a curtain. Beds make easily noise.
In the middle of everything one needs: station, food stores of china town, nice view from the promenade! Nice and helpful staff. I was lucky that there weren't many people there.
