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.).

Very well priced. Pleasant staff, and clean premises. 10/15 minute walk to city centre, but plenty of electric scooters to rent for getting about.

ItalyThe room and the bathroom were very small, so it's probably not suitable for people who plan to bring suitcases. It was not much of a problem for me luckily.
It was clean, the location is quite central, the staff was friendly and welcoming, great for a one-night stay with a backpack. The hall and the living area seemed really cozy.

ChileI have no problem with the stairs, my backpack wasn't that heavy, but I stayed on floor 4 and the lift only goes up to floor 3 and after 23:00 hours it stops working I think that can be a problem if you decide to go with heavy suitcases. There are no separate sockets or lights near the bed or visible in the room, only in the bathroom. So it seems to me that I paid too much to have no battery during the day, that was very uncomfortable. I stayed two nights. They give you two sheets and a pillow case. I had two sheets and I personally like to make my bed well. When I arrived late on the second night the top sheet had been stolen. I can't find another way to say it. I felt mad.
It's very central, you can walk everywhere. The decoration is great. They have a work room which I found to be the most comfortable place I've ever stayed and nice to work online and I've travelled to at least 20 countries. I can say the same about the mattress, delicious to sleep on, I can't complain in that sense. In the basement they also have extra toilets and showers. The bathroom in the room was spacious so it was comfortable to get dressed in there. The staff I met were always very friendly. I found the card entry system great and easy to use.

FranceThe location was a bit far from the train station, so it was not easy to carry our suitcases from the station up to the accomodation.
The staffs were friendly and nice. The room was also well-organized and comfortable. It was clean as well.

TaiwanThe bath room was really, really small where was not able to move around when I put on my cloths on.
A very stylish hostel. I think the founders were really dedicated on interior design and lightings of the hostel. I adored the common space very much. Female dorm was clean, I enjoyed the mattress, which was very comfortably soft ☺️

BulgariaAmenities such as towel, padlock, and coffee are paid, which I didn't like. The fact they didn't have padlock even though I wanted to pay was something I did not expect, as this was my first shared dorm experience. So make sure to bring one, for your own piece of mind with your personal belongings. The 6-bed girl dormitory has a small bathroom and it gets wet/dirty pretty easily with so many people using it at once.
I stayed in this hostel in the end of March, it is more a boutique hotel in the city centre, than a hostel. Amazing experience, supreme common spaces with so many interesting items to explore and cozy decor. The rooms were quiet in my experience, doors locked normally with card, bed and linen were crisp and clean, the bed was soft, but not unbearable. Check in process was efficient and smooth.

UkraineIt was very cold in the hostel. I stayed there for 3 days and only 1 day the heating was on. Due to the renovations on the street, for 1 day there was no electricity (so also no wifi and hot water).
I really liked the design, the hostel is very cozy. The staff is very friendly.
