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.).

By far one of the best hostels I have stayed in. Super cool layout in the common area that makes it fun to hang out and work for the day. Brilliant breakfast to enjoy every morning, and super comfy and spacious bunks.

Star hostel was incredible. The hostel is conveniently located next to the main station, making it easy to get to and from the airport, and the MTR to key sights. The hostel itself is immaculate. A really great vibe. The staff are friendly and always willing to help. The included breakfast, which changes daily, is a perfect way to kick off your morning. I found my private room clean, comfortable, and spacious.

GermanyGreat location close to the main station. Very clean everywhere, bathrooms apparently were cleaned multiple times a day. Large and cozy common areas with friendly interior design. Fresh breakfast. Lockers that can fit a regularly sized suitcase. Relatively large showers (separate cabins), including separate area for keeping the clothes and changing. Light and multiple outlets in the bed. Bed curtains in the dorm that block most light and sound - I had multiple roommates pack and leave very early and didn’t wake up at all. Small kiosk with snacks and cool bevarages for fair prices inside. Very friendly staff.

United KingdomNot the most social in terms of people interacting with others they don't know even when the hostel was full, but that is not the hostel's fault
Fantastic hostel overall. - All facilities were very clean, modern and comfortable - Spacious and comfy common areas where it's great to spend time, especially if the weather happens to be less than optimal. Different types of seats and tables, with some plants around - Breakfast included. If you have dietary requirements (e.g. vegetarian or vegan), they give a special card to show at breakfast and you'll be made a different meal right away - Great location very close to the train station and metro links - Staff spoke very good English and were very responsive

AustraliaThe moldy smell when you enter the building and the lift got me worried but once you get to the floor where the hostel is then it's much better. The room for my first night stay had a tinge of the moldy smell, I had to have the air con on to get rid of the smell each time I come back to the room. For some reason the second time I stayed (in a different room) there was no issue with the smell at all, in fact it smelt really nice, not sure what the hostel did differently but keep up the good work! and see if you can extend it to the building entrance and the lift.
Location: It's so close to the Taipei station which gives you access to all modes of public transport so it's easy to get to any part of Taipei, explore other cities, and especially convenient to get to airport in any time of the day. Lots of places for good food nearby, on my first night despite arriving quite late in the night I still managed to get delicious food in the nearby night market as it's within walking distance. Shopping wise, it's walking distance to the popular Chifeng St filled with local boutique stores that are full of characters next to Eslite stores if you are into books and shopping malls if you are looking for even more varieties. Staff: Super friendly, helpful, and forthcoming with useful information. Common area: Nicely designed and spacious so it's a relaxing and sociable environment that has a modern Taiwanese feel to it. Shared bathroom are well equipped and clean unlikely most other hostels, almost with a hotel feel to it.

SingaporeOnly one free towel. Need to keep shoes in cupboard and unfortunately got the highest one. During quiet hours, lights needed to be turned off by ourselves.
Breakfast was bread and a meal (different per day). The dumplings were delicious. Another day was noodles which could be less salty. There was orange juice and unsweetened soya milk. Location was easy to find. Need to take elevator to 4th floor. Can either use crossroads or overhead bridge to train station. Room and bed was clean. Bed was spacious enough to sit up. Able to request for softer pillow. Quiet room. Luggage storage cupboard enough for 2 overhead bags. Toilets were very clean and dry. Bathroom always had space. Bidet available. Clever use of space with vanity area. Many quiet cozy corners in main rest area including big tables. Cozy movie nights certain days. Fridge and microwave available.
