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.).

NetherlandsThe location wasn't perfect in the city center, so it was a 20 minute walk. Which is completely fine and safe.
It was a fun hostel! Nice hosts and good facilities to meet people. There's a nice seating outside and inside.

United StatesThe mattress was very comfortable. There were curtains for privacy for each bunk. Lots of places to keep your stuff as well as a locker for each bed. There are 3 bathrooms for the hostel and I was never waiting for someone to finish. The ladies who work there were all really nice and knowledgeable about the area. Lots of great info! It's a short walk to the bus station. And about a 15 minute walk to the old bazaar area. It's a lovely riverside walk to old town and doesn't seem like 15 minutes.

United KingdomIf the hostel is full, I could imagine you might be waiting for one of the few bathrooms, but wasn't really an issue when I was there (out of season)
Staff are absolutely lovely (especially Filiz (sp?) and her adorable dog). Location is handy for the bus station, down a bit of a side street - quiet neighbourhood. Walk into the city centre is about 20 minutes along by the river. Beds decent, with privacy curtains. Helpful with local information and recommendations, and the manager may greet you on a Sunday morning with an offer of rakija at 1030! 😂

United KingdomThe spiral staircase is very tricky to get up with a suitcase and would be hard for anyone with mobility issues to use. In high season you'd have to wait in line for the bathroom.
Very handy location near the bus station (less than 5 minute walk) and just across from a shopping centre with a big supermarket. About a 20 minute walk to the main square in the old town. The staff were so lovely and it had a nice cosy vibe. The bed was comfy and everything was clean.

Amazing staff (Misha, Andrej, Ivo) who are very friendly and helpful. The hostel has a great atmosphere for relaxing and meeting other travellers. My favorite hostel from my European travels. Great location (accessible from airport bus/main city bus station). Close to the city centre and local attractions.

One of the coolest hostels in the Balkans. It's very conveniently located near the bus station and only 15 minutes walk to the center. But what makes this hostel so great is the amazing staff. Every single one of them were helpful and fun to hang out with.

EstoniaOnly 2 showers for the whole hostel which can cause some waiting time in the morning.
The hostel is located close to the bus station (5 minute walk) which makes it perfect for those who plan on travelling from and to Skopje. The staff is very friendly and the hostel has a cute private courtyard. An "unofficial" breakfast is also served everyday (coffee, fruit, cereals).

Very cosy place, friendly staff and easy to meet other travellers. Loved the free breakfast, tea, coffee and fruits. Very conveniently located if you're coming by bus and close enough to the city centre. Big plus for AC and the possibility to buy beer and bottled water.
