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 StatesMixed bag. 3 moderate snorers. Woman across from me Going Great Guns. I picture her relatives laughing, sticking the hostel with her snoring. Coming from Papua New Guinea I was on airplanes for 3 days (all the arrival date). Hostel refused to refund $250. Partial refund was 75 cents. Plus I had to pay for 2 nights. Do everything online! Nothing you say or they say goes on record. Everything costs less online.
Holiday weekend. There was no breakfast but staff surprised us with vegetables and bananas one night. Grassy yard, clean.

United StatesNothing I didn't like. Worth being aware that it is an inexpensive space in LA. But it felt safe and was a comfortable space with people who seemed into the idea.
The location can't be beat, especially at the price. Easy check in and seemed like an intentional space and honestly something we need more of. I'll be back.

United StatesThere was absolutely no privacy. Even a sheet hanging from the top to the bottom bunk was not allowed. They warn the guests of this policy before we sign up, but I didn't read about it.
The vibe was good. I liked the ping pong table. The location was excellent. The staff gave us good recommendations as to where we shoiuld go to eat.

AustraliaThere is only 3 showers/toilets for the entire hostel. Some of the people staying there are staying there long-term/living there and treat the place like their home. There is no curtains on beds, we were told we couldn’t hang towels up for privacy as they had issues before (whatever this means)… They have small lockers available for passports, laptops etc but nothing for luggage, noticed some items are now missing since our stay here.
The location of the hostel is great! Within walking distance to the beach and about 100m from Abbot Kinney road where there is lots of cool coffee shops and bars. The outdoor area of the hostel is also really nice. The staff are really nice :)

Compared to other hostels, there are pods and capsules, so there is plenty of personal space and comfort. There is nothing around except the beach.

United StatesUnfortunately the place is a mess. There is guest living there long term and they act like they are in their houses, the bed in front of mine was full of personal stuff like tv, garbage bags with clothes and paper bags, very weird. The locker area is so messy, there is clothes, bags and cleaning supplies everywhere. also, the bed sheets where old and with some wholes on it.
is very well located, couples minutes walking from Venice boardwalk. There is a parking at the hostel and is free. The stuff is very nice and friendly.

United StatesGot bit by insect at night on my hand and above eyebrow. . Bathrooms are small and hard for women especially. Even by hostel standards. The fridge space is quite tight for all the residents combined.
The staff is friendly. The somewhat open floor plan is cool. Bed was comfortable. And even though the car parking was quite full, could pull in my car for the night. The ambiance is cool. Especially the lawn out front and the inside decor.

United StatesWay too Difficult to find in rain and dark, even having stayed here once before. Google maps switched which Venice St, Way, Blvd, N and S did not label Washington, probably would be confusing to people who needed much bigger Washington Blvd. Alpha gets to sleep, snoring beyond what earplugs could block, showing off his nipples, almost under a pile of blankets. In the morning I requested and was given a blanket by Yazz and a bed away from the cacaphony.. Thank you!. Another Alpha just bought a building he always wanted, was here to oversee some repairs that had started, but mostly I wished I had been able to sleep.
Location is good once you find it. Walked to bank and United States of Espresso. No bfast. Water with lemons, a basket of small apples.
