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.).

GermanyBeds were not comfortable and very loud. Bathrooms could’ve been cleaned more often. Also there was sometimes no breakfast left after 10am although it is until 11am
Really nice interior and good to find parking. Also really nice living room area! Very easy checkin and checkout! Good location if you want to check out silverlake, echo park and Hollywood.

United KingdomIt can get a bit noisy because of Melrose Avenue, but nothing that can't be fixed with a pair of earplugs.
Very nice and cheap hostel, friendly and helpful staff. Free breakfast is a definite plus, and the hostel has a nice, friendly atmosphere. Easy access to metro line B. Loved all the plants!

United StatesNo overnight parking in the area. The only place I could find was across the street and I had to get up at 8am to move my car. It would be great if they could find a solution to this. The bunks were so squeaky, I could hear every movement from the other guests in my room. Definitely bring ear plugs and eye mask for sleeping!
Beautiful design, cozy common room, clean dining area and bathrooms, lots of natural light. Codes to enter building and rooms, felt safe and secure

CanadaThe room was small. It doesn't look the same as photos. Room was facing street, it was a bit noisy at night.
Breakfast was simple, but good enough to start our day. The green room was nice. Bed was comfortable.

BelgiumIt’s annoying when other people don’t have respect for each other: calling relatives and watching movies without earplugs, starting at 6:45 in the morning… There’s a livingroom for that.

BelgiumHad to shake some black hairs off of my bedsheet & pillow when settling in on the first day. + The showers weren’t always that clean: there was hair everywhere. (That’s just a personal ‘problem’ for me that I noticed very quickly, it’s nothing against the hostel, it happens! But maybe try and check the showers more often when it comes to hairs on/in the drain?)
Hosts are hardworking & friendly, location is great. A good place to be social and make friends if that’s what you want.

New ZealandNot too many people to each room, plenty of space in the room for everyone to not feel like they're falling over each other. Locked doors at all times. Plenty of facilities to use. Breakfast was tasty, simple but good. I loved the flamingo room with the plant growing across the roof. People were relaxed and friendly. Fairly close to the underground station and laundromat. Just a great place to relax, chill and base your activities from.

GermanyThe beds were not really comfy and very loud, everytime someone is moving just a tiny little bit, its super loud and the whole room wakes up. You can tell that the beds are not in good quality and have been used for a long time or they were just really cheap. The matress is comfy, just the bedframes are shaky, loud and didn't feel stable.
It was very cozy, the common area feels like the living room of a cozy home from a friend where you always want to hang out. The dormrooms were big and nice, the kitchen a bit tiny and no stove, but at least there was a kitchen so I don't want to complain about it. The bathrooms were always clean.

United StatesCoffee in the morning was the worst I've ever tasted! No milk or creamer provided. The hostel host was usually never anywhere to be seen. No parking available; had to park too blocks away which was a little worrisome.
Great location. Room was large with lots of windows (light, air). Bed was very comfortable. Lots of bathrooms throughout the hostel. Everyone in our 6-bed women's dorm was quiet and respectful of the others.
