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 StatesSo I didn’t stay at the Cheers Hostel since there was no bed…they did move me to the other location to Salute Homes. Still they staff was great accommodating me! Now there is a slight language barrier so might need a translator app to help with conversations. But safe location and it was just want I needed. Just a place to crash and shower.

United Kingdom1 - We were a little surprised to have to remove our shoes on entry. 2 - The host seemed to hang around and although it was nice to have a chat sometimes she was there a little too often, and also knocked on our door around midnight when we were in bed to tell us there was a problem with her payment system and she needed cash before we left... A text message would have been fine. 3 - One of the other users had put the dryer on late at night which was just outside our room, which then encouraged the owner to out up some rules, one of which was no drinking anywhere in the house, which for me as a paying customer was a little strange, if I want to have a beer, I don't see why I shouldn't be able too.. 4- The rooms didn't have locks and there was no where safe to put your valuables. 5- I personally didn't really like the vibe in this hostel, but I think with time this could change. 6- There are cameras inside the hostel, maybe thats normal, but again, strange vibe. 7- The beds were cheap and uncomfortable - we had the private double room, 2 small beds for myself and my partner. which even together didn't allow you to move much, you kind of sank into the middle of the bed and were stuck. 8 - It was much further than i thought to most places in LA
The house is very new with a good space outside around the pool and a new kitchen which was good enough to cook breakfast. Its a new hostel and i'm sure once everything has been sorted out it will be a good place to stay.

United StatesNo customer service. Whoever managed this place does not have any concept that they were business as a service provider. They were rude, unprofessional and very challenged in the English language. This place looked like a boarding house in a third world country.
We had a confirmed reservation 3 days before when my husband contacted the property. Then we did not. We received a text message around 2pm the day of our scheduled arrival they did not have any room available and offered "relocation" to Beverly Hills for the same price. When we asked for clarification what happened, they simply ignored us.

United Statesit felt more like a house I was wandering into than a hostel. most of the people there only spoke Russian and there was no communication about what was available to me. usually you get a little tour when you first get to a hostel. I think my roommate lives there full-time given the stacks of books and clothes. he also snored and the bed was uncomfortable
it was pretty inexpensive and clean.

United StatesThe rate is different if booking via booking.com which is double price with working directly with the owner. It is complicated feeling, it is family style, so don't be surprised if a lot of owners usually go to your room to access the closet and the pool unexpectedly. you will share the room with four other people on bunk beds, you will hear people snoring, slamming doors, phone alarms ringing throughout the morning, and feeling the bed sliding both sides when people above or below you turning their back while sleeping. Also a young colored owner will watch you to remind (or alarm) you if you wear someone's slipper in the backyard or wash your dish after meal.
Safe location. A good chance to meet travelers from Russia or Ukraine because owners are Russians. I will book directly with owner if I have a chance in the future to stay in Northridge to save money.

GermanyThey don‘t really have a Check in System. The Host gave us the wrong pin number for the front door. We tried the pin again and again but it didn‘t work. A man living in the hostel opened us the door and treated us as of we wanted to break in the house eventhough we showed him our booking. Apparently there are people (maybe Family?) living in the hostel that are very rude. They made fun of us behind our backs. One of the people living there told us the pin number for our room in front of all the hostel guests. We didn‘t feel secure. The people that live there are in the living room and kitchen all day long. The house has a weird vibe.
The bathroom and our room was very modern and clean

United StatesFirst of all no one was there to check me in. Phone numbers they have are not reachable. One has not set up voice mail, the other one are like talking within two people in car, and it is not in English. You can try calling the numbers they have posted on line. It is the most hot day of season. AC is not set properly. It was 80 F, I asked to set on cooler side someone set at 85 F. I asked agin to check and set at 77 F. Rooms are hotter than outside weather at nights. Even in living room some one was sleeping. I left the house at 4:00 am just because it was friking unbearable in the house. I advice anyone not to stay here.

BrazilMy stay at Cheers was simply amazing! From the moment we set foot on the property, we were welcomed with open arms and treated as if we were part of the family. The hostel staff is extremely attentive, friendly, and always ready to help with anything we needed. They provided us with valuable tips on the best places to visit in the city, the most delicious restaurants, and even the must-see cultural activities in the region. Every recommendation was spot on! Furthermore, the hostel facilities are cozy, clean, and well-maintained. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep after a long day of exploration. The common areas are perfect for interacting with other travelers, creating a warm and relaxed atmosphere. In summary, my experience at Cheers was unforgettable. The family-like atmosphere provided by the staff and attention to detail in every aspect of our stay made us feel truly welcome. Without a doubt, whenever I return to Northridge, this will be my home away from home. I wholeheartedly recommend this hostel to all travelers seeking a memorable stay with an extra dose of hospitality.
