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.).

MalaysiaThere's abit of stairs up to the hostel, and the room are not as spacious, carrying bigger size luggages might be a little inconvenience. More suitable for those who travelling light. Personally think that the cloth toilet seat cover is not necessary. It's better to do without it because it's easier for the user to wipe the toilet seat for hygiene purpose. Toiletries and towel for rent available with 100yen each
I like the location. Not far from the train station. And few minutes walks from food and convenient stores. Bed and shower room is clean. Good for a short stay and backpacker/ light travelling.

ChinaThe one mixed dormitory would be unbearable if completely booked out. No storage space for luggage/backpacks, which would require a lot of uncomfortable maneuvering if half the guests weren't single briefcase business travelers (?!).
Tiny hostel with backpacker vibes, and a full functioning kitchen. I loved the little "nook" of a common room. Reliable internet connection and easy to socialize with other guests. Tons of information and tips on travel & food in the area. The staff were friendly and chill.

United KingdomRooms were very small. Hardly any floor space for storing belongings, I had to leave my small suitcase in reception. You took one step out of the ladies bedroom and would be right next to the Reception desk....not a big problem, and I saw the funny side of it. The bedding wasn't dirty but it didn't seem as good as most hostels that I stayed at.
Clean, homely kitchen and seating areas. Bathrooms were also well maintained. Pleased that we could bring our own food - cutlery, plates and microwave were provided. The location was great - relatively close to the train station. The staff member who was on Reception was friendly and so helpful with travel tips etc. which made a big difference to my stay. I loved that they displayed plenty of information in the lounge area on recommended places to visit, and importantly how to get there etc. In other hostels they didn't provide such info at all, or not so much.

FranceStorage space is quite limited, meaning that everyone keep their belongings close to the beds, and the room can become quite loud when people go to sleep and wake up.
Staff is friendly and speaks good English. The hostel atmosphere is quite nice, and I met travelers from various countries. Everything is clean and cosy.

United StatesThe facilities and bedding seem dated and it didn't feel super clean. But for the incredibly low price, I expected nothing more than a place to lay my head for the night, and that's exactly what I got, so it is what it is.
The price is unbeatable, the check-in is easy and smooth, and the location is very close to Odawara Station.

IndonesiaThey only have 2 toilet with bidet, and when we stay there, one of them is broken for the whole night (havent been repaired). The bed is quite hard, and the room is quite hot when we sleep because the airconditioner is only 1 for the whole room for 10 person (and no window open). No place to store luggage in the bedroom (we bring only the small one). No such place for storing important stuffs (i ever stay in another hostel, they provide lockers with keys which i can't have here).
The staffs are friendly and speak english well, and the hostel is clean.
