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.).

AustraliaThe bed is a bit hard. That's the only thing that could've been better. You still sleep very well
The hostel has a really calm vibe to it and the personnel is very friendly. I love the fact that you can easily get to the mountains or the beach on foot.

United StatesFire alarm in adjacent building went off at night, but that is no fault of the hostel! :) Comes with visiting the city.
Needed to be on campus early, this is the perfect place to stay. Last visit was 10 years ago and it's still great, though some new apartment buildings have been built up around it.

AustraliaThe plumbing makes a lot of noise when toilets are flushed which can be heard in the dorm.
This is a great old school hostel like the ones from 20 years ago (that I love) and run by a local family. The building is charming old style with no aircon and a cute patio in a quiet area near the university. Good prices washing machines.

United Statesrefrigerator was out-of-order during my stay; loud toilet flush (same at UHManoa!); custom to remove footwear indoors extended to shared bathroom where there could be risk of picking up infection from any of 7 roommates (workaround to apply sanitizer on barefeet)
super convenient location as I was attending conference held at UHManoa Campus Center (2 blocks away) & Hawaii Convention Center (30 min. walk); many bus lines nearby (connect to TheBus #20 airport); walking distance to great restaurants & shops on Waialae & Kapahulu Avenues; home-like hostel, owned & operated by caring Hawaiian family (mahalo nui loa to sisters Joanna & Sue, whose parents started hostel); spacious outdoor spaces + free clothesline; jalousie & screen windows that invite cool air for natural ventilation; exceptionally clean; plush 100% cotton towels!

They care a lot, and it’s a safe place. Near the hostel are different bus lines for all directions. The other guests were amazing.

United StatesGreat place to stay for married or single travelers. The woman who runs it with her sister just asks that simple rules are followed. There is a bus station and Uber pickup nearby. My room had three bunk beds and one single bed in room #3. The bathroom is upstairs and has two stalls with toilets, and there are two sinks in the bathroom. There is a kitchen where food can be cooked and water boiled. The kitchen is only opened at a certain time. Each day the bathroom is cleaned, it is also closed until cleaned. Once the bathroom is cleaned, a new password is issued so you can get it in the main door.
