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.).

United StatesThe common hangout area should have a side that's non-smoking.
Great location. Less than 10 min to the main area of town. Wifi worked well. A/C and fans in the room kept the room cool. Pretty good breakfast for a hostel. I liked that you had access to hot tea and coffee all day.

AustraliaThere was a slight tilt to my mattress which was a bit annoying but other than that, everything was good. The showers in the dorms are quite small but we ended up using the ones in the corridor area and that was well kept and clean.
Though it's an older building, the dorm rooms are well designed. I was a bit worried as some of the reviews mentioned bed bugs but I had no issue with this. Emy also helped us with booking train tickets to Vang Vieng and let us keep our bigger baggages at the hostel whilst we travelled.

United KingdomRooms are cramped and the bunk beds are high! If you’re on the top bunk you’ll struggle getting down without making the whole bed shake.
Great hostel in a great location, walking distance to the night-market and lots of restaurants. Staff are friendly and helpful and will book things for you. Showers and toilets were always very clean.

IrelandOnly minor comment would be the size of the dorm room. The space in the aisle between beds is very small. Not a particularly social hostel even if it is full. Not really a large area to hang out and meet people but that could have been the time I was there.
Free breakfast was fantastic, lots of choice for main meal (pancakes, eggs with baguette) with fresh fruit and tea/coffee every morning. Also have a water filter to fill up water bottles. Beds were comfortable with privacy curtains and rooms were quiet. Doors to the dorm rooms also locked and were only accessible via key card. Large lockers to store bags in the room. Facilities were clean and staff were helpful with booking tours/transfers.

AustraliaStayed in 4 bedroom room. Great place to stay and relax. Great location to walk around and see the city as it is not too far from main locations such as the markets which is about a block away. The hostel offered free breakfast which was a life saver on days where you don't want to think about what to eat.
