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 StatesThe refund policy is very strict so make sure to book refundable rates if still unsure of travel plans. The pillows were too thin for comfort. And wifi - have to connect multiple hotspots and speed is also slow.
Breakfast and view of Bergen from the top is very nice. Staff is friendly and price for the room was relatively good too.

NetherlandsThe hostel is on a hill with steep slopes, you need to rely on bus to go up there. If you are travelling early or late the bus is less frequent. Need to pay deposit NOK200 to borrow hair dryer. I used card instead of cash, the deposit was taken immediately from the bank but the refund took 5 days.

FinlandYou need to either bring your own sheets and towels or pay for renting them from the reception which was a small disadvantage and not so convenient.
Very basic room for two but happy to have our own shower and bathroom. Quiet at night time. Great breakfast buffet included in the price of the stay. Nice view over the city from the restaurant with some cute goats walking around. Not a central location but walking distance from the city center (about 3 km). Nice and helpful staff.

SpainGreat price for Bergen with great views towards the city. Our room was quite small but it was comfortable enough. There is a direct bust to the city that runs every 10-20 min approx. It takes around 20 min and it cost about 40 nok. There is kitchen in the hostel so you can cook your own food. There is also a restaurant but it is slow and expensive (it´s Norway you know...).

The hostel is not at all close to the city centre, but it is easily reachable with a bus. The location is beautiful, nice views of Bergen and close to hiking spots. Hostel offers all facilities needed, everything was clean. Breakfast is amazing, with many options, including vegan and gluten free.

GeorgiaBecause this hostel is very good in every aspect, it’s quite popular and it’s almost impossible to find a sitting place in the morning during breakfast, that’s why not 9/10
Location is a bit far from the city, but from there you can take a hike to Ulriken and this is wonderful. There’s a market very near, you can buy products to cook yourself. Speaking of cooking, the kitchen is quite spacious, there’re several big tables, may be for 6-8 people each. In total 6 fridges, but always full. Dishwasher available, tho I didn’t use it. The hostel has laundry room, gym, luggage room, nice vantage point, common area. The room itself was just enough for me, the bathroom was in the room, water pressure just washes everything out, water sink small for me. I liked the idea of beds to be attached to the wall and it features nice removable ladder. Window view is beautiful as well. Staff was very helpful and nice people, they do their best so nothing can spoil your experience, except…

United KingdomThey charge you 70 nok for bedsheets and a towel, ridiculous as they should just include this in the original price. The food in the restaurant is bad, I ordered a pizza for 169 nok that took an hour to make and was not very nice at all.
Really clean, the bathrooms are in the room so you share them with less people, substantial kitchen and great view of Bergen. The hostel also runs activities every day which is a great way to meet people!

NorwayEverything is perfect except unstable Wi-Fi connection. Sometimes I need to go to another area for better Wi-Fi.
While it is advertised for backpackers and shared dorms, it is much better than youth-summer-camp kind of experience. Bed is comfortable, shower is good, breakfast is included, hospitable staffs etc. There is a guest kitchen so that people can cook or microwave food for themselves, which is impossible in normal hotels.
