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.).

MalaysiaLocation is great. Conveniently located near to station and Shinjuku is under 10 mins away if you're planning about hanging around that area. Staff are friendly and helpful and understand English pretty well. They also provide luggage storage (free for checkout day but additional charges for extra days if you want to store more than 1 day) so you can travel around light.

GermanyBreakfast - no option for food. They only have one type. You won’t get full. It’s just a sandwich cut in two. That’s it.
Location is perfect. Close to all - stations, shops, restaurants, it’s in the city center!

MalaysiaI wish they could provide a small table or a caddy for each bed to hold our electronics and other small items.
The place was not too central so it's quieter in the evening which is a plus. The staffs were all very friendly and helpful. Overall a comfortable stay.

Hong KongToo dark in the room and it feels like not really clean but it’s acceptable. The price is a bit overpriced.
Location is great. 10-15mins from Shinjuku station to the hostel and 5-10mins from hostel to the town. Also, the shinjuku-sanchome station is very convenient to different places. Exit C6 which have the elevator will be more comfortable if you bring the suitcase.

GermanyI could everything from the room next to me, even small sounds from the phone, whispering, etc. It's typical for japanese houses but this was the most extreme I experienced so far.
Staff very friendly and English speaking, location close to shinjuku station and kabukicho, showers, bathrooms and common rooms very relaxing.

Great for socialising and easy to make friends. Helpful staff and an industrial style to the rooms that keeps things simple and spacious.

IsraelThe rooms are small, and there is not much share space.. I stayed in a female dorms and there is a sofa there, which is nice but not enough for a hostel vibe in my opinion.

Norwaycould have provided laundry detergent (if not for a fee) - not a lot of backpackers have this or want to buy a whole bottle. could have been more sofaes/ nice chairs to sit in in the common area. The sofa and chair thats there now aint clean. maybe offer some social events check-in felt unpersonal could provide free towels
Really good location - felt safe as a solo female taveller. I was never out late thought, so dont know how its like during late evening/ night. i recommend reading up on the Kabukicho area before going, if you dont want to go there its easy to stay away. If you are i female i would 100% recommend the female only doorms, they had an entire floor for female only, which were so much nicer and smelled much better than the mixed gender dorm floor. I really liked the bed, as opposite to other reviews. also good ventilation we were only between 1-3 on the 6 persons doorm, but the room was spaceous.
