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.).

GermanyThe guy working in the tour office could have been more accommodating. Not that he was unfriendly, but not the level of hospitality that you’re used to in Southeast Asia
- great community of interesting peeps - like always at mad monkeys - very modern facilities in private room, so despite it being a party hostel I had a good sleep

United StatesI liked the hostel so I was fine with everything.
Good location, could walk where I needed to go. Clean, friendly staff, van service to airport could be booked here, I liked the way the beds were set up. No ladder to climb to top bunk. They had a short set of stairs. There was a locker/cubboard inside the bed area that could be locked. Nice blackout curtains.

United StatesIt has a reputation as a party place but I didn’t see that. Maybe because I only stayed one night and this was low season.
The dorm rooms were clean, luggage storage under bunks, clean bathrooms with hot water. Best hostel I have stayed in on this trip.

United KingdomWi-Fi was hit and miss Price was expensive for drinks and tipsy tubing, compared to other hostels, for exactly the same thing
Such an amazing few days here. Beds were comfy, rooms were spotless, pool was really nice… and most importantly the staff were so amazing. Everyone working behind reception and bar as well as the reps; Rad, Rachel and Toni just made the whole experience so much more enjoyable. Would really recommend- there’s party if you want it but it is also a nice chilled hostel (compared to other mad monkeys)

GeorgiaThe only problem is the other guests. Everyone is very young: I would say most of the guests are aged around 17-22, and they are here to get drunk and go out to the bars. They come home late and are very noisy. They have conversations and laugh at full volume at 2am, 4am. If that's what you want to do - then this place is perfect. If, however, you value your sleep, then look elsewhere.
The rooms themselves are spotless. The facilities are great. The staff are lovely.
