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.).

SwedenFantastic choice for budget travelers looking for a comfortable stay. The rooms are clean and well-maintained, with both dormitory and private options available. I personally stayed in a private room. The common areas are vibrant and great! The hostel offers a complimentary breakfast, which is a nice touch, and there's a fully equipped kitchen for those who prefer to cook their own meals. The location is central, making it easy to explore the city. This place exceeded my expectations. What I appreciate the most is the dedicated section in the fridges for sharing food. It's a small gesture, but it means a lot to me.

United KingdomThe only part we did not like which is not that bad was the time of the breakfast as it was from 06:30 to 08:30 which you could not sleep for that much.
The breakfast was really delicious with a variety of local ingredients. The cleaning of the facilities was one of the best that we met for a hostel. The instructions of how to get in and check in/out were simple and helpful. Totally worth the stay here and it value for money. Lastly, it is located only approx 10min from the bus station which is really helpful.

NetherlandsIt was a bit noisy, you can hear cars outside and people talking in the hallway. But it was quiet enough to sleep well.
The location was very good, about 5 minutes walking from the station and the city centre. The rooms were very big and there were extra places around the hostel with nice places to sit and chill. The breakfast was really good.

South AfricaI got so heart broken to carry my big heavy luggage from third floor to the reception because there is no elevator. So when you book there with huge heavy luggage be prepare to carry them on the stairs.When I checked in some guy at the reception was more than willing to help me with my luggage and that was so kind of him☺️. But when I checked out I found a different person at the reception and I was told to carry my luggage 😩
I liked that the staff is very friendly, the hostel is well located close to lots of facilities. The breakfast was super fantastic because it accommodate diverse cultures. Everything there is worth the money they charge. Love their Gym ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Sweden- Not much really, we felt we got good value for money and can warmly recommend the hostel. - The reception opening hours are a bit limited but that didn't affect us (and they seem to have a 24/7 number for emergencies anyway). - Bring your own eye mask if you visit in summer as the curtains weren't proper blackout curtains and obviously the days are really long so it could otherwise be hard to get to sleep. Would also be convenient to bring flip flops for the shared shower.
- Fantastic breakfast, everything was great and we especially loved the freshly baked bread, chilli ginger shots and making our own waffles (plus topping them with jam and whipped cream). The food was perfect and on the morning of our departure we were delighted by the generous and delicious breakfast bags we had requested because we were catching an early train. - The bathroom and shower were shared (as expected) but a bonus was that the room had its own little sink. Perfect for brushing teeth and for drinking water, this made a big difference. - Friendly and helpful staff, we requested to change room due to the positioning of the room facing a noisy street and the staff obliged with no fuss. We really appreciated it. - Well equipped guest kitchen, great to be able to store food in the fridge and heat up meals. - The location is perfect. Close to the town centre and extremely close to the train station. - Fresh and clean room, bed, linen and towels. Beds a little on the soft side due to the base being a bit squishy rather than firm - could be positive or negative depending on your preference. - The whole place was very quiet, we didn't hear doors opening or closing and slept very well. - It was easy to check in and out independently with a code to collect the keys and a return slot when departing.
