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.).

CanadaMoses the owner is a great host and very helpful, one of the kindest hosts I've met, I would return just to support him. Room was pretty cozy and the bathrooms were decent. 15 min walk from town center but felt safe at all times of the day (male traveler).

PolandFor this price, it would be unfair to nitpick :) The only real issue is the lack of AC cooling(there are fans) during hot days but the hostel would be much more expensove then. Everything is almost perfect.
Excellent price to quality ratio, amazingly helpful staff, quiet environment, cool balcony, hot water, very clean... there is much to like here.

The owner is the sweetest and most considerate person, will go out of his way to meet your wishes. Got a room upgrade without even asking for it. Ask him anything. Hostel supplies towels, soap, drinking water, coffee for free, has a terrace and warm showers. Don't get fooled for the price. You get much more than in any other place.

SpainNot super close to the centre but the neighbourhood is totally fine, and at the price that felt reasonable. The stove is in the dorm room, which weirdly I found brought guests together for shared meals so was a plus in some ways, but might irk others.
Interesting hostel with an excellent owner who is super friendly and helpful, the dorm room is constantly clean and there's a cute little terrace. Nice social vibe when I was there and free decent filter coffee in the mornings. I stayed a long while and it was a good cheap base for exploring Oaxaca state.

MaltaThe 10 bed dorm has a kitchen in the room. However, it was quiet most of the times.
Very clean and quiet hostel. Modern bathrooms. Hot shower with proper pressure. Towel and soap included. Comfy beds. Lockers. Equipped kitchen. Coffee and water available. Cosy little terrace. Quiet street. 25 mins walk from city centre. Close to Central bus station and the main local market de Abasto (much better than the famous markets in the centre). The owner is very kind and helpful. Clothes washing is also allowed. 6 bed dorm has kitchen and bathroom just for that dorm! 4 bed dorm is very quiet.
