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.).

United KingdomWe are a bit annoyed as we have been receiving mails from booking.com saying we did not check in or stay there at all. We definitely did stay, so we are a bit confused and hoping we will not be charged for not showing up.
Hostal was nice and the room was spacious.

Ireland- No filtered water - Location feels a bit out of the way, but it is walkable - Only two toilets/showers so sometimes had to wait
+ Pancakes at breakfast were delicious + AC in dorm was good. Top bunks closest to AC are good for those that want to be cold! + Staff friendly + Bathrooms cleaned everyday

FranceThe room was small, no outside window, just one on the corridor. And it was extremely hot in the room.
The guy at the reception is nice. We appreciated to have towels. Shared bathrooms are cleaned. Good breakfast. Be aware that it is served from 7:30am, so you can’t leave soon for a fresh hike.

United KingdomThe shower ran constantly- it was more than just a drip but it wasn’t possible to turn it off fully.
Really friendly staff. Aircon available for $10 per night in the private room which was a necessity with the heat in Leon! Free breakfast prepared for you every morning. Room was large, clean and comfortable. Front desk is manned 24/7 and staff were really kind and friendly.

United KingdomTwo showers and toilets between how many people? Doors left open to invite in mosquitoes and other creepy crawlies. Planting may encourage mosquitoes, the toilets were always inundated with them.
Great location being a couple of blocks away from the historic centre. Great staff, knowledgeable and helpful. A good breakfast is cooked every morning (choice of two options)

ArgentinaIf you're not keen on cold showers, then you won't like it. However, Leon can get really hot so a coldish shower is more than welcome.
Staff super friendly and helpful! Breakfast was good, you could choose between a typical meal with rice, eggs and cheese or pancakes with bananas. The room had a bathroom inside, which was ideal. And the location is also great, just a couple of blocks from the main Square and just half a block from the museum. Great deal for 12 dollars!

HungaryWe had a no AC room which was an absolute killer - we could barely sleep at night even with the little fan, and the bed would make loud screeching very loudly with the slightest movement which I've never experienced before in hostels
The staff was very helpful with everything. It's only a few blocks from the center and there is a big supermarket nearby. Enjoyed the hangout spaces too. One of the cleanest places I stayed at in a while! They clean the bathroom meticulously like every other hour.

CanadaIt is a small building, so they don't have the space to install a nice area for people to chill and socialize (Hammocks, for example). There are two picnic tables outside, but you wouldn't really use them when you want to relax.
The dorm was big, with big lockers for every bed. There were also fans for every bed. The hostel has a nice kitchen too, and they serve a good breakfast every morning. It is very close to all the main attractions in Leon. It was low season when I visited so the hostel was pretty quiet, but the staff was really nice and made my time there fun!

United StatesThere was nowhere to hang our clothes or towels. Literally no hangers or hooks. A mirror in the room would also be a good addition. The photos don't show how dirty the walls were.
The location was excellent. Only a couple blocks away from the main square. It's a bit run down. There's no AC but there are fans in the room. They include towels and soap which is nice. Breakfast was decent and they worked with us since my husband has celiac. The staff was incredibly helpful though.

United KingdomCommunal spaces were limited and small, and there were few bathrooms/showers between a lot of people, which occasionally meant several people were waiting to use them.
Friendly and helpful staff, and I could arrange tours through them too. Small but functional kitchen to cook meals and the included breakfast every morning was simple but nice. Dorms had sockets and lockers for each bed & several fans to share in the space. Decent location, a short walk to the town centre and many amenities.

United KingdomI arrived late (11pm) after a long shuttle and the person who checked me in showed me to my bed which was made but didn’t have a sheet. When I asked for one I was told no, meaning I had to sleep in clothes for means of privacy (which was very uncomfortable given how hot it is at night in Leon). The next morning I asked a different member of staff if they had sheets and was given one without any issues, and they seemed surprised that I wasn’t given one the prior night. This is the only reason I marked down the rating as it made my first night after a very long day of travelling less comfortable than it should have been
Great location 3 blocks from the main square. Helpful staff, good breakfast included in the price, clean and overall well maintained.
