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 KingdomIt was quite hot in the bedroom overnight but there was a fan for us in the bedroom, really nice of them as it helped cooling down
The hostel was extremely clean! And you get your own bedroom with a very comfortable bed. The are is really quiet so very good sleep as well. Just a few minutes walk from bars and 10minutes to the centre. I highly recommended it

HungaryThe shower/WC was not separate in our room, which we did not notice before (it was not very clear from the descriptions). But in the end this was no problem.
The bed was comfortable. We could leave our bags in storage as a special favor from the host. We could check out early. Everything was clean! The location is close to the center.

SloveniaThe only negative feedback is on the beds. They could be more comfortable. Some people might have issues with the animals around the hostel. The cat and the dog (Zeus) are well behaved and even playful, but might be good to mention animal presence on the website.
This hostel is located in the eastern part of Funchal, 5 minutes walk from the center and 15 min walk from the "old town". Unlike the western part of Funchal this par this par is less touristic (no large hotels) which is also positive from the price perspective (restaurants, bars) the, downside is that the nicer and more organized (also payed) beaches are a bit further away, ca 1h walk, so it's better to take a bus if you do not like walking. Regarding the hostel: personnel is very nice and helpful. The hostel is incredibly clean, and it's expected that all guests maintain this. I did not have an issue with this, some less organized people might. It has a cozy terrace for chilling out and a kitchen where you can prepare some meals. They rent cars and scooters under reasonable conditions. However, we did not take this option because we already booked a car elsewhere. Also important: this is not a hostel for partying. It's a quiet atmosphere, I recommend it for couples or single travelers who aren't seeking exuberant nightlife. Great value for price.

RomaniaYou could hear when somebody in the house would close a door, the sound being like they were slamming it even if they didn't. Maybe a rubber on the door or something to seal the sound would be a good improvement. Anyway, price - quality ratio was great.
Cleaning was done every day in shared spaces, kitchen and bathroom well equipped, nice yard with smoker and non-smokers area, rent a scooter directly from property, close to center but quite neighborhood. Bus station near the house, but we never needed since it was @ ~10 min walk from city center

Denmarkthe only thing, it was a little bit noisy. the door on the room are not very sound proof so you hear everything what’s going on out there. but people usually behave with respect and everyone was quiet after 22:00 more or less.

LatviaThe bedlinen was a bit strange and I had a sweaty feeling. There is no heating and since I was staying during record low temperatures (+10C), it was cold in all rooms. Sound isolation of rooms should be better.
Good location, not too much uphill, well equiped kitchen. Helpful staff, nicely decorated, reasonably priced. There are common areas where to hang out.
