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.).

MalaysiaThe sink is not working, and stinky odor from the sink broken pipe (like someone peed inside the sink before), Very poor soundproof and could hear loud boise from the road and other tenants especially during late night.
Price is extremely friendly for solo travellers, and I appreciate the female dormitory having ensuite bathroom in the room. Convenient location with walking distance to bus stop accessing free local bus (CAT bus). The dormitory also have sufficient power outlet for each bed.

ThailandThere weren't enough curtains on the bed, and you also had to pay for towels non-refundably. The showers are not very clean and there is also a smell from cats
The hostel is in a very good location, with easy access to the city center. Also a very nice design of the room, along with affectionate cats) The hostel owner and her sister are very friendly, they also make delicious pancakes at the coffee shop opposite

Such a lovely hostel! I love the interior design and what the owner has done with the place. It was quiet and peaceful but still sociable and it was easy to make friends in the dorms because they were small and cosy. Also the location was fantastic! Really good vibes.

ItalyA bit noisy at night, the street is always busy. Bring hear plugs. Pillow too big. I prefer smaller flatter pillows.
Good location, beautiful cats. So if you are allergic to cats you should not stay here. The place is clean but the cats move around downstairs. Very cool garden space. Helpful Moon - staff front desk person.

AustraliaBathroom facilities were ok but there was no kitchen access at the time because the owner is still working on the kitchen. Everything was comfortable enough. The owner is really cool and helpful and as she continues working on the kitchen and some of the messier parts of the hostel this place will become really great. Don't stay if you hate cats, but there are only 2 of them and keep to themselves.

GermanyThere are cats, so sometimes there might be cat hair on your clothes if you sit in the common area :) It didn’t bother me, however. My bed made some noises when I moved at night, so this might bother others in the room. If you have a light sleep that could be annoying. It wasn’t a big problem for me.
It is a very welcoming hostel with an eye for detail. The owner is very helpful and friendly! The cafe on the other side of the street serves affordable and very delicious breakfast! loved the cats, too.
