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.).

MalaysiaThere is no lift provided and the property I believed is for travellers thus there should be a lift for customers to carry heavy bags or luggages. The spaces to the lobby is quite tiny and the design stairs also quite risky for customers to bring up-down their heavy items to the lobby and provided rooms. Customers need to extra careful when using the stairs.
The location of the property is nice. The provided double room and the beds are nice as well. Enough for two persons and it was comfort.

United Statesthere was no lounge. the entire building was perhaps 3 meters wide - or at least it felt like it. they also charged for towel use, and there was no way to get hot water for coffee/tea. really unprepared for basic traveler needs. beds were also really small for anyone over 1.8m tall.
good location. everything was really close, including the main train station, which was a pleasant 20 min walk.

MoroccoThe stairs are small, i tripped twice. There is no place to store your stuff. Very cold the first night even with the heater on as the window couldn't be closed. It was clean at first and then it wasn't and nobody came to clean the bathroom and there was to equipment available to do it yourself. No kitchen and the food is not allowed inside. 4/10 is actually more than it deserves and they re not trying anything to change that because it remains the cheapest so people keep going there.
One of the staff was very kind Very good location

United KingdomI'm not sure if this is normal for Amsterdam, but at around 1am, there were fights erupting in the street below and everyone was screaming and it was extremely noisy. Little difficult to sleep after this, but I also realise this isn't the hostels fault. I checked out the next day at 9am, however my flight was at 7pm. I asked to leave my bags there while I did a day trip, and was told that it would cost me 3 euros. I asked "even though I stayed here as a guest and paid?", and the response was "we need the storage space for current customers. You've already checked out". I was completely shocked with this, and said I'd just take my stuff to a locker for the day at the airport. The guy at reception then turned around and said "ok we keep your bags here for you, no problem".
The place is located nicely between multiple tram stops, which all lead towards the main Amsterdam central station. There's a few museums within walking distance as well. The street its located on has a few restaurants as well as an Aldi supermarket nearby. The bathroom in the room is very new and modern. Each room has its own bathroom, so you're only sharing with the people in your room, which is a benefit.

ItalyI recently stayed at Amsterdam Hostel Uptown and was extremely disappointed with my experience. The hostel had numerous issues that made my stay uncomfortable. The floor was sloping, which made it difficult to sleep well, and the pillows were dirty. The beds were small and cramped, and the heating system was not adjustable, leaving the room either too hot or too cold. The narrow stairs with no lift were a safety hazard, and the overall quality of the room materials was low. I would not recommend this hostel to anyone. There are many better options in Amsterdam that offer comfortable and clean accommodations at a similar price point. If you are looking for a place to stay in Amsterdam, I would advise you to look elsewhere.

Canadathe room and bathroom didn’t feel clean enough there was very rude receptionist not helpful at all, he is young and mannerless. I ask him to send housekeeping to clean the room and bathroom as they didn’t, he said I am not going to clean the room; he was high I think didn’t listen what I was staying. very unprofessional person. you have to buy towels for 6€, so make sure you carry a towel with you before you stay there the duvet and bed sheets definitely not cleaned and bad smell comes if you sleep there

GermanyThe manger of the hostel is truly kind and available to help you with anything. The rooms are small and fairly clean, the toilet in the room does not allow to have privacy. It's a welcoming hostel for travelers and backpackers, looking for a cheap and we'll positioned room. Let's say that in the end, it all depends on who you get in the room, if their respectful of the roommates

United StatesAll the towels and bed sheets had stains. Booking description on booking.com was misleading. Very noisy and to think I paid 150 eu for this is crazy, It is Amsterdam so I understand but value for money was zero. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
The only thing I liked is that there was a smoke shop next to the motel.
