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 StatesThis place doesn't allow eating & drinking in your room, so it's a bit "troublesome" for me 'cause I love to drink some water before I go to bed and right after I wake up. Going to the kitchen in the basement just for that feels a bit too much. (Note that you should take the stairs to get to the basement 'cause the elevator only goes to the first floor). The front desk is also open quite late in the morning, so if you need anything in the morning, you're quite on your own. And oh, they don't provide trash bin in the room, so if you have some trash, either you go to the toilet and the kitchen, where there's a trash bin available. It's not much of a problem for me, but in case this is important for some, I'd love to point it out here.
I love how clean the place is. I've also got my privacy. The staff is quite nice and responsive to my questions/messages. It is as described. For a female solo traveler like me, I feel quite safe here. What I love the most might be the location. It's easy to get anywhere, by bus or trains. And on both sides of the hostel, there are halal beef noodles available, which is great for a Muslim like myself.

GermanyWe had a bed by the window facing the street which was still a bit noisy. But in the evening the noise level subsided.
The dorm was very clean and had its own bathroom in the room. If someone is already using the bathroom, a shared bathroom can also be used. The hostel was very modern. The location is really good.

New ZealandAt times it got hot in the night and sometimes other roommates would turn the light on late and leave it on.
There were very secure lockers to store things and with a curtain and light my bunk felt very private. The common area, laundry and kitchen facilities were great. in a very convenient area. Staff were helpful and spoke good english.

SwedenDrinking water is in the social room in the basement or at reception floor, not on same floor as the beds. But worked fine. Social room in basement, not natural to just pass through and meet others. But understandable given the building
Good location and pretty comfortable beds. Found the place pretty calming The door to the toilet doesn’t do clicking sounds which is good for those sleeping next to it.

SpainNothing to complain about. Thank you!
Excellent location, close to Xiamending. We just spent one night there before going to the airport but I was surprised about the quality of this place. Smooth check in and very friendly staff. Generous beds, black curtains to prevent from others turning on the lights, clean shower and toilet, drinkable water (warm/hot), shared kitchen in the basement, etc. Everything you need. Lockers are quite generous too (I could fit my big backpack, my small one, a pair of shoes and my jacket). Would go back again for this price!

MalaysiaLimited bathroom/toilet. Not sure why the bathroom is always flooded. Space seemed to be an issue but if you are outside the hostel most of the time then it is no big deal. Ximending is kind of just opposite, across the main road.
I thought the placement design of beds was very clever (to maximize space in the room). I was lucky to be given a top bunk (with cute stairways to go up) and the double bed beside me was empty most of the time. This means that I have quite a bit of a space to myself (thankfully). Space was otherwise quite limited. They have lockers outside the room (need to tap the keycard on the card reader on the wall - I thought this was smart). Check out can be done via the automated system (another plus point for clever convenience). Location was amazing, within a very short walking distance to Ximen MRT (exit to Ximen Metro Mall).

United StatesThe toilet located in the dorm was too confined and when someone used it for num 2, it made the room unpleasant. You have to rent towels. Weird kiosk machine for checking-in and out. Not really any public space to chill, like no lounge area, only some seating facing a wall with a few computers on them.
The double bed was comfy and the built-in-to-the-wall style of construction made them easy to navigate and no creaking sounds. The curtains provided privacy and the lockers provided security. There was a "private" bathroom for the four beds in the dorm, but it's not polite to use when other other guests are there. Luckily there is another bathroom just outside of the room. Overall, not bad of a stay and there is a nearby overnight parking garage which is only 10$NT per hour.
