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 StatesThe window was not properly insulated so the room was kind of cold and you could feel a draft. An extra blanket was provided when requested, so it was not a significant issue yet somewhat upsetting initially.
The staff was really helpful and kind. The room was tidy and big enough for four people.

CanadaThe rooms were cold at night. I had to sleep with three blankets on! The modern flooring and doors makes the place very noisy - it is hard to respect other guests late at night. Also, the storage cubbies are poorly lit, so it is super difficult to organise your things.
Super central, spacious facilities, well-equipped. I liked the modern look and feel of the place and there was certainly plenty of places to relax and socialise. This hostel is super affordable and their wifi was super quick. The included breakfast starts the day well. Fruit would be nice, though.

United StatesRoom temperature; I was on the top bunk in one room and the heaters were blasting make it awful to be in the room and could not sleepy. The room temp was 82 F for the first night of my stay. The thermostat did not work for my room. The bottom bunks were tolerable but the top bunks weee miserable. However, I was able to switch rooms the a lower bunk the same night which completely turned around my stay. Heavy doors- so everyone was slamming doors making it hard to sleep. Not very sound proof- you could hear everything.
Location, staff, things to do, accommodations, activities, comfy bed, amenities, facility, and the price! The staff is was really made my trip and made me stay though my reservation, and not cancel!

United StatesI know I already wrote this once, perhaps directly to the hostel (?). As an older, retired-type guest, I wished there were other people in my age group. Every other guest was young and the atmosphere did not encourage interaction even among them; the dining room was quiet with solitary individuals and couples. I'm sure there are some older folks who would like to stay in a clean, comfortable, not super-expensive accommodation. The hostel knows and so do I that a person of any age can stay here but I think the hostel would need to do some advertising and perhaps outreach to broaden the guest base this way.
Had a very nice single room with its own bathroom. All very clean and well supplied with towels and other amenities. I felt the price was a little high for a hostel...almost as much as an (affordable) hotel... altho, as stated, it was nicer than a typical hostel. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful.

CanadaThe dormitory is a bit small but totally OK for a hostel.
There is everything you need and more ! The staff was really friendly, the room and bathroom were clean. You have one big locker by bed which is perfect. The common areas are really cosy, ideal to spend time with new friends and play some boards games. Breakfast is included and good. Everything is well organized. Big bonus for all the activities offered by the hostel : city and pub tours, movie nights, gathering ... You'll may come alone but will not stay alone if it is what you are looking for :)
