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.).

Amazing hostel in the heart of the old town. You are able To walk everywhere or get to public transport easily. The kitchen and bathroom are clean. There is plenty of common area. The rooms are a decent size. I have no complaints and would stay again.

United StatesAs I am sure is the case with much of the lodging in Gamla Stan, the room sizes were pretty small, but it was still comfortable. Would absolutely stay there again.
The location was perfect for our short stay in Stockholm. It was close to many things, and we could walk to everything in Gamla Stan as well as to transit.. Our family was pretty jet-lagged from our long flight and we really appreciated having our family room (4 bed private room) located in a quieter area of the hostel. The beds were comfortable and there was a nice common room with a table where we could hang out and eat. The staff who checked us in were very nice and helpful.

NetherlandsThere are not that many showers (although I never had to wait for one), and there are only sinks in the toilets (and very tiny ones at the showers, so there it not really a logical place to shave or brush your teeth.
The hostel is right in the middle of the old town (Gamla Stan) within walking distance of all the sights. Although the reception is only open for part of the day, the staff are very welcoming and happy to share tips, and they made sure that checking in outside of office hours was very smooth and easy. Also, they were happy for me to leave some luggage at the hostel when I left Stockholm for a few days. It is definitely not a party hostel and can get pretty quiet in the evening, but it is social enough for my liking. Kitchen is clean and has everything you need.

Hostel is very cosy and the location is amazing. Lots of showers and toilets, kitchen is smaller but sufficient. Nice common area. Price to performance ratio is unbeatable. Definitely will be back.

NetherlandsThe showerroom gets so hot and humid that it gets a bit hard to breathe if you're in there a while. There we're a lot of families and couples staying in the hostel, and no bar, so I couldn't really make friends.
The staff we're super helpful and nice. When my phone broke down they helped me extensively to find a repair service and marked them on a map for me. I would've not been able to find it if it wasn't for them. The kitchen was very well equipped and clean, and the beds were comfortable.

GermanyThe design and operation of the hostel was very good. The best part of the hostel is the staff working there. There is no problem that you can talk to them and solve. Bathrooms and toilets were very clean. The common room was useful. However, the bunk beds were very squeaky. Because of these noises, I woke up several times every day during my night sleep.

FinlandYou have to pay extra for bed sheets and the check-in time slot is really narrow but as I tell you below, it wasn't a problem.
Perfect location for me and the building was so cozy and cute. All the public facilities were great! There's a kitchen with every equipment you'll need (pots, pans, coffee maker, toaster, fridge, even a small freezer etc..), the living room had board games. Lots of space to hang around and everything was clean and in a good condition. The room I stayed in was conveniently big and the lockers were spacious enough for my huge backpack. Remember to bring your own padlock. :) The staff was so helpful and nice!! I couldn't catch my train so I missed the check-in but they found a way for me to come anyway. I wish I had cash so I could have tipped them..
