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.).

FinlandThey didnt take care of the place, it would be beautiful if just someone put some effort on it. Repairing, painting, watering plants... Everything had seen its better days and was broken or almost broken. Also my bed was bad, could feel all the strings in it. But my friend told he's bed was good, so not all of them are bad :) (I had a private room) There is no fridge for customers
I liked the atmosphere, it was nice and cosy and staff was really nice and helpful :) They organized biketours, templetours, yoga, pool/gym trips. Place was really nice with a big roofterrace and wallpaintings. They had filter on the tabwater, so you can fill your waterbottle and not have to buy the plastic ones, points!!!! Hot water and aircon was working. It was just a few blocks from the jonker-street and the river too

ItalyThe terrace roof is useless, it's sunny and reeeeally hot there during the day, what is a pity, because it's such a great area. It's nothing particular from this hostel, but the need to leave the shoes off is not exactly hygienic, once the bathroom is constantly wet and there is a lot of people stepping there and all around.
The location is perfect, close to all the touristic attractions; the areas are clean; the beds are comfy and with a lot of privacy. Good showers, with hot water and good pressure. The girls from the staff are just the bed, and Howard, the owner, is kind of an adult with a child soul, so funny and spontaneous. There are three cool common areas, we can always choose between socialize or stay by ourselves.

Good vibe. Good location. GREAT helpfull staff. Water refill. They organise activities for hostel guests. Shower gel provided. Curtains in beds, so you can have privacy while sleeping.

United KingdomThe robot-hoover thing which gets sent around the dorms in the morning (9:30am) when people are still sleeping is incredibly annoying and it’s very noisy. Can this not be done later in the day? The beds are very uncomfortable too, some of the worst I’ve come across :(
Really fun sociable environment with a great roof terrace, nice to head up there at night. The owners seem really nice too.
