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.).

NetherlandsBunkbeds aren't too good, especially the top one shakes a lot. The kitchen is decently sized but you will have to wait your turn.
They have volunteers who are hanging around, very fun people who organise some activities like pingpong or a campfire and hikes. This is a great place to meet new people and hang out with them since it is a very social vibe. Easy to go to Bergen city with a bus, takes about ~20 minutes.

FranceNorthern lights appeared when I was in my room packing my bag and although everybody was outside watching them, nobody warned the people inside. :-( They should put a special alarm or something for this: no traveller wants to miss that!!
Nice staff, clean bedrooms and bathrooms, varied breakfast with a nice view.

United KingdomStorage for bags in the rooms isn't as secure as in other hostels.
Whilst the hostel is a moderate distance away from the city centre, the location is incredible - you get great views over the city from most of the communal rooms and outdoor spaces, and have easy access to both the cable car and walking paths up to Ulriken. The social volunteers make a huge effort to put on social and extra-curricular activities (hikes, bonfires, karaoke) so that everyone staying at the hostel gets a chance to socialise. The full-time staff are friendly, helpful, and well-informed. The communal facilities aren't brand new, but are perfectly functional. I stayed in the newer part of the building and had a good room with a clean bathroom.

SwedenA bit away from city center but there are busses going and if you like walking or have car, it is not big deal yet better since the parking is free.
The rooms and bathroom were very clean, beds super comfort for a hostel and not noisy unlike most of the hostels I had stayed earlier. The room had a nice view toward the city from the hillside. Free parking, which is not common in Norway. You are few minutes from the Ulriken attraction.

MexicoOnly the bathroom shower did not have a ledge to separate the shower space from the rest of the room. Also the curtains would stick into my body due to the pressure caused by the hot water. A shower door would have made a great difference. But for the price it's OK.
Best experience I've gotten in a hostel in Norway. It was so good! I especially enjoyed the free breakfast, the karaoke night and the fact that the staff invited us to join them to a party in the city center. They were beyond friendly in a sincere way, I really enjoyed my stay and made new friends :)

Location - on top of the mountain close to starting your hikes. Clean rooms, good breakfast, friendly & competent (permanent-) staff, kitchen, gym, near to supermarket and bus station. Separate heating in room was awesome during -15°C weather! Would recommend…

United KingdomYou have to take bedsheets off yourself and put them in laundry bins. This means that anyone that needs to leave and check out early for flights etc has to disturb everyone else in the room taking off bedsheets. I was here for four nights, every single night was woken up at 5am by someone stripping their bed. Beds could do with a curtain for privacy.
Spotlessly clean, and comes with a breakfast. It's a bit further out from the city, but there's a bus stop nearby, the bus is regular and only 20 mins. The hostel is right by the start point to walk up Mount Ulriken. Free coffee and cookies every day that anyone can take part in.
