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.).

Hong KongThe staffs were friendly and helpful. The room we stayed was a mixed dormitory room, it was spacious and with privacy, I particularly liked the high ceiling of the room. Also the location of the hostel was within a walk-distance from the centre and the beach, which made our stay convenient.

United KingdomThis is a great hostel to stay in. It is a quiet hostel which we loved but still close to everything and if you want to liveliness you can grab a beer or a tour at a more lively hostel. The facilities were great and the beds were huge. We stayed in a 4 room and it was great. I would 100% recommend staying here if you are looking for a great place that isn't party 24/7. Also, its super close to the center.

ItalyBeing a design hostel, I would have expected more attention for the cleaning. Bathrooms always dirty, both in the morning when I wake up and in the evening when coming back from tours. They should be the first thing to clean in the morning and, since the hostel has many guests, be properly cleaned more time a day. Also the dorms should be better cleaned and open windows to change air
I really liked the style of the hostel. Bed in dorms are huge and lot of space to store our stuff, from backpacks to small items. Enjoyed buffet breakfast. The ladies at the reception were very kind.

South AfricaGenuinely nothing that I disliked
Loved the stay, every night they have something going on. Had a wonderful barbeque the first night, and joined for the movie night - they set up seats and a projector screen and it was really cute with popcorn provided. Breakfast was AMAZING and included - it really sets you up for a big day of exploring! Albie's omelette's were top notch. Also his barbeque skills! Made some wonderful friendships here <3 The staff pay extra attention to detail, I really felt taken care of like I was in a luxury resort. But with nicer people :) The bed was super comfy too! And town square is in walking distance

Located 5 minute walk from the city center, but at the same time far from the chaos of the central streets. The rooms are clean and equipped with linen. The breakfast is amazing! The hostel relies on an agency to organize tours and travel, very convenient!

It was clean, I had my own bedroom so my own shower and I could also manage my own AC which for me makes a big difference! The bed was comfy and I had hot water in the shower. Breakfast was good and you had choice! You also have access to drinkable water. Staff was very nice and helpful! Loved my stay here!

Great location - quiet but close to the town. Exceptional staff - they went above and beyond to help and gave us some brilliant advice about what to do in the area. Tours and motorbike rental could be booked easily from the front desk. The breakfast was good for the price - really enjoyed the freshly made pancakes and omelettes.
