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.).

AustraliaThe washing machine sucks - my clothes were soaked so I had to pack damp clothes in my bag the next morning. First world problem but just annoying. Other than that the facilities were fantastic.
It was clean, really really nice for such a cheap hostel, pretty good location (right in the middle of sightseeing locations but not too far from the station).

HungaryFrom the name of the hostel you would think it's near to the deer area, but it's bit far of it, like 20 minutes walk. But it's like 10 minutes from the shopping area so it's location is still nice compared to the price.

All walls are decorated with paintings and they have a cozy terrace (for smokers, unfortunatelly) The kitchen was small but very complete. We had private bathroom!

It was really convenient for the JR station and it was a very pretty hostel. The communal areas were really nice Modetn, fresh and spacious and there was a cute little garden. The room was quite small but it was excellent value for money.

AustraliaThere were no staff, the cleaner checked me in and gave me a key to my room. Although Japan is probably the most safe country I have travelled to, the front door was never locked and the key to my dorm room wasn't necessary as the door lock was broken. It has a small kitchen but the stove top doesn't work. One the cleaners was very generous with his time and did his best to help me with it but to no avail.
The location is incredibly central, very clean as there are cleaners rigorously cleaning every day and the way it is set up is more like a home than hostel environment so very cosy.

GermanyJust a little, little far from the Deer Park - but still walkable. But for sure there are places closer by - but not for this price.
Our only room with own bathroom on our whole Japan journey - and it was great. Compared to Japan prices you’ll have a great value for the price you pay here. There are body and hair products in the bathroom, the room itself is a little small, but that’s fine. Bed was amazingly comfortable. When we have been there it was calm and the shared rooms of the hostel were clean.

Clean and tidy, easy walk to the JR station though a little further to Kintetsu line and the main attractions. Staff were absent most of the day but very responsive through Booking.com messaging.
