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 StatesWe had an aircon room, which seemed to solve the humidity and heat issue others have with the regular dorm. However, our room smelled of stanky shoes all night. I'd suggest a shoe cabinet outside. The showers/restrooms could use multiple cleanings in a day.
Friendly and helpful staff, free breakfast, great and safe location walkable to tons of nightlife. Easy to chill environment, which makes it easy to meet people with simple conversations.

United StatesThe hostel is under construction, and the noise from the hammering is ridiculously loud during the day. The bottom bedroom was hot and hard to believe that in 2024, there was no air-conditioning at least during the night. Brutally hot!
The location is ideal for those who want to enjoy restaurants and proximity to shopping. It is a very social hostel and the staff is very friendly.

Hungary- Only cold water in the showers - Shower cabins are quite small and without any shelves. You have to seriously juggle to keep your stuff dry while taking a shower - The sleeping pods could use a new painting. The walls are kinda dirty, the paint even started falling off at certain places (see pictures)
- Really helpful receptionists - I got all the help that I needed with organizing tours, getting recommendations for food /restaurants, transportation from the airport etc. - The hostel offers in-house tours. Just ask them for the options, they have several ones (also see the uploaded pics) - Very simple breakfast but it is included in the accommodation price - Good and safe location - Fans installed in all sleeping pods - Decent sized lockers - Last but not least - card payment option available (except for the external tours)

BulgariaBeds was encapsuled into some plastic cover which made them rustle as you turned. Only 5 baggage lockers in the 8 bed dorm, the rest was located outside the dorm. The AC was only on during the night. Toilet/shower on the second floor was dirty, the kitchen was very poorly equipped, not even a cutting board was available.
Friendly staff, laundry service was super efficient, The breakfast was amazing.

United StatesTriple private room was large had 2 beds and located on the ground floor next to the lobby, common areas. So there was a lot of noise until late night & again early morning. In fact at 2am there was drilling, banging noise from next door. Room didn't have much other furniture (to put your bags, unpack, etc). Lighting in the room was poor. All other rooms were upstairs, so may not be as impacted by the noises. Luggage storage after check-out is under the stairs and not secure.
Good ambience in hostel and chance to meet other travellers. Decent hangout and dining area. The staff is very helpful explaining how to get around San Salvador. In the safe part of town, close to several american fast food places as well as local restaurants. Bus stop is 10 mins walk for buses (42B, 101) to Historical Center (Cathedral, Plaza, National Palace, etc). The bus itself costs $0.30 & is a 20-30 mins ride based on traffic. Provided filtered water dispenser where you can fill your water-bottle. For us vegetarians, our breakfast had a veg burritto, cereal, coffee & cookie.

United KingdomLocation was busy and noisy but that’s the only minor niggle!
We booked a studio which was super spacious and comfortable, with a tv and space for preparing food. AC also makes it a perfect temperature and the bathroom attached was clean and had toiletries! Over the road from Tica/Cristobal Colon bus stop so perfect location before a connecting journey. Super helpful staff even prepared us breakfast to take away as our bus was early! Fast WiFi.

Czech RepublicI thought the bathroom was always dirty, but then realized that they were cleaned every morning. Then the problem might be the quantity of people using them and just one cleaning per day.
Nice breakfast and location and friendly staff. The curtains in the bed make the difference in privacy.

Was woken up at 3am by one of the staff members and his friends drinking and laughing very loudly. Friend paid for laundry, but was dirty when it came back, they had only put it in the dryer. Far away from the city center.
Open space, with enough seating for a lot of people. Was clean and the staff were friendly. Across the road from the tica bus station

PortugalNot that many toilets available, which makes it hard to find them "perfect clean". Specially if you are assigned to the middlefloor shared room (they are not dirty, though. Just already used...) As the bunk beds are close together, it is difficult to mind your business without disturbing other guests (noise, lights and so on). But I guess that is what you get when chosing to stay at a shared room. ;)
The hostel is located at a really good neighborhood and at a safe and central area. People are nice, but not intrusive. The staff is helpful when you ask them stuff. They have lockers, but you have to bring your own locket/padlock. The breakfast is slightly different everyday; it is quite simple, but ok. Nice decoration and you can close the curtains of your bunk bed for some privacy.
