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 KingdomThe common area could be more comfortable, I always find it hard to chill out with just a wooden table and chairs.
I was so impressed by fishtail hostel. On first impression I was a little underwhelmed but then I soon realised how much attention to detail the owners have applied. The beds were soo comfortable, the duvet, pillows and curtains were all chosen to help you get the best nights sleep. The bathrooms were always so clean and with not many beds it remained clean throughout my whole stay. It was a great touch having a fridge, hot and cold water, and free coffee/bananas too. Really peaceful and restful stay. Very happy with the lockers and also the service too. They answered every question I had and helped me to organise ongoing transportation for a great price, alongside this the mother (owner) took me and my friend to and from the Big Buddha for a great price. Very grateful for their hospitality.

AustraliaSome of the guests were not very respectful in turning on the lights past 11pm in the dorm and sending loud voice messages late at night. This was not the hostels fault though.
This was the best hostel I have stayed at in Thailand. The host was SO amazing and friendly. The hostel felt cozy and clean. The beds were amazing and the air conditioning worked so well. I cannot recommend this hostel enough.

United KingdomMy only humble request is to regulate the hot water a little more by a couple of degrees higher. Therefore, I would give the property a rating of 9.
Nearly everything was great about this place - the views, the coffee, comfortable and clean beds, safety lockers. The owner is very friendly and polite and I would love to go back there again.

A lovely hidden gem 💎 front row Karon Beach. It’s a few steps up but when you arrive you immediately feel the chilled and relaxed atmosphere. Super clean and the owner treats us with fresh water and bananas daily. No cooking or laundry but this is on the doorstep and authentic for under 100 Bhat. Lockers in the room and 4 bathrooms. Max 8 over 2 rooms. It’s wonderful in every way Ideal for travellers 30+ Highly recommend

DenmarkIn my opinion the bed was not comfortable, it was too hard for me. Even though the owner gave me a kind of mattress, it was still uncomfortable. The room I had, did not have window. The ventilation was also not so good. The bathrooms were often full with sand (I know is not the owners fault) but maybe there should be a hose for removing the sand before coming inside the hostel.
The location is fantastic! Just right next to the beach. The owner is also very friendly, attentive and helpful. Even though she is not there most of the time, it is possible to write her via what’s app, which I found very convenient. In the common area there is a fridge, water and bananas.

SpainNothing to dislike if you like staying in hostals. Think the bulb was going in my light as it was continuously flashing (only mentioning this as lightning is a catagory in the survey)
I don't use hostel accommodation so I'm not qualified to give an accurate hostel review. However the owner was lovely and very helpful. There's fruit, coffee and water provided. I had the misfortune to suffer a deep cut on my foot from a local lake, and I was provided with a first kit at the hostel to dress the wound, Very Helpful! Location is super central on the frontline. Room has highly efficient aircon.
