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 showers in the 2nd floor are very small. Also, the bunk beds are not comfortable, I hit my head on the top bunk everytime I tried to lay down. If there are people in the kitchen or the living room area in the 2nd floor until late you could hear all the noise.
The location is perfect, near the center, but in a very quiet neighborhood. The host is a sunshine, she makes sure the place runs smoothly and brings goodies for all guests. The rooms are large and there are lockers for your belongings. There is a fully equiped kitchen and also there is coffee and tea everyday. Internet connection is perfect. Friendly ambiance. Restaurants and grocery stores near the hostel.

CanadaI liked this hostel a lot. The only thing I can think of as a critique is that it would be nice to have an area to dry outside the shower stall and get changed in the bigger shower area. You can walk back to the room in your towel or to the toilet stall beside the shower stalls but it's nice to be able to have the space to dry and change in one area. I made it work, so not at all a deal breaker but rather a nice-to-have
This is a very simplistic hostel but very comfy. It kind of felt like I was back in university visiting friends in their home shared by other students. The bunk beds are comfortable and the common rooms are very big for meeting others in the hostel. The staff are incredibly nice and I had a nice chat with them during breakfast one morning. I enjoyed this place so much that I booked it a second time when I knew I was returning to Bucharest. The wifi was excellent and I really appreciated the snacks they had in the living room area for when I was working on travel logistics. The bathrooms are nice and big too and very clean, I felt so comfortable here. If you have laundry to do, they do it for you as the washer is for staff use only and is for an extra charge but it's not very expensive. All in all, a great place for a cheap price.

TaiwanThese aren't really complaints more so than heads ups: The beds don't have privacy curtains, but I didn't find this to be an issue because there were only two other travelers in my room. The staircase is narrow, so be wary when you're carrying luggage upstairs. When entering the front gate, push the door in a little more aggressively. It can get slightly stuck.
Let's level set for a moment: I'm a solo woman traveler in my late twenties, and I'm increasingly shying away from hostels because my aging soul can't handle, disrespectful hostels anymore 🥹, so imagine my dread as I was scrolling through Booking.com searching for any shred of hope for a hostel that could just hit these basics in Bucharest. I was losing hope until I came across this hostel with multiple reviewers praising it as the BEST HOSTEL they stayed at IN THE CITY, and I have to agree! CLEAN bedroom, bathrooms, living rooms, kitchen FAST, RESPONSIVE, KIND STAFF who were understanding of my concerns. Valentina was the warm smile and soul I needed during this trip! I checked out early but was concerned about leaving my backpack with my laptop in the more public luggage storage area, and she let me store it in my locker until I picked it up at 2:30 p.m. BIG, FUNCTIONAL LOCKERS that could hold my ~28L backpack and likely carry-on luggage as well (apparently this is a rarity for some reason) GREAT LOCATION: in Old City, so close to most city attractions DRINKABLE WATER: I still have no idea where to refill my water bottle in Bucharest, so luckily, this hostel provides filtered water in the kitchen. LAUNDRY SPACE: plenty of space and sunlight to dry your clothes Thank you for a wonderful stay, Sport Hostel!

IrelandThe wi-fi didn't have a password (I would feel more secure if it did). The metal bunk beds were a bit creaky and they didn't have those little curtains around the beds (those are super handy). Very minor complaints overall.
From the name I was expecting a "bro" type vibe (not my thing) but it was actually very small and homey and cosy. The kitchen was very well equipped and clean.

South KoreaIt's probably one of the best hostels that I've ever been to. It was clean, the location was great, and the owner was also very kind! She always brought something to eat whenever she came by. I usually don't cook when I'm staying at a hostel because it's usually very dirty, especially the plates. But here, I cooked pretty regularly during my stay!

RomaniaThe location of the hostel is very central and at a great price point. We were greeted at the reception by a very nice lady that offered us donuts😋 and gave us a tour of the place. The hostel offers many facilities like a kitchen, 2 living rooms with TV and snacks on the house😃. The rooms and bathrooms are regularly cleaned. Would definitely come again.
