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.).

Canadait’s closer to parks and beaches and nice neighborhood to take a walk. has a nice clean complete furnished kitchen. but it’s a bit of a walk to and from the bus stop for people who doesn’t drive. and if you came back later at night it’s quite a bit of safety issue with “Coyote warning signs” around. there are sitting areas and some choices of books you can borrow. lockers are big enough with hanging hooks. Shower area is fine but there is some “smell” in the duvet or the beddings (not very sure what is it really?) but in general I feel safe inside the building which is a historical one. Joshua is very helpful and accommodating.

AustraliaNoone told us where any of the facilities were had to wonder around and find them. Also the bathrooms feel unclean due to the amount of people staying there. For the price and what's available it's OK if your on a budget
Quiet location easy to find and get access to.

GermanyMaintaining a Hostel with so many guests coming and going is Not an easy job at all. That said, I think that especially kitchen conditions could be improved on, specifically in terms of cleaning and equipment. Totally fine for single travelers and a great, budget friendly stay all in all. Kitchen and common room conditions can be improved.
Location is truly hard to beat, super close to gorgeous Jericho beach with a lovely View of downtown Vancouver. Great and safe neighborhood with bakeries, coffee shops and restaurants in walking distance. Great bus connections to both Uni of BC Campus and downtown. Staff where friendly and helpful.

CanadaNot attentive service at front desk. Dorm rooms were difficult in terms of lighting...the entire room with all the bunks were either all lit up or all in the dark. Women's washroom had two or three toilets not operational. Food service not available eevery day. When food service was available, did not open until 9:30 am which made it useless for getting breakfast.
Online registration went well. Location was excellent. Dorm room was quiet.

CanadaBeds were uncomfortable, large 12-person dormitories desperately need to be divided into smaller rooms as the light switch and noise can wake everyone up, no privacy curtains on beds, lockers were filthy, washrooms were not well cleaned, there were older men sleeping on benches in the common areas, a camper that looked like it was out of a horror movie was camped out in front of the entrance, no street lights after dark from bus stop
Some staff were great to interact with, kitchen had a decent amount of space, lots of sinks in the washrooms, not far from a good bus route to UBC/Downtown, minutes walk from Jericho Beach

CanadaThe kitchen was kind of to be improved in terms of cleanness. The area was big, but the full of odor of the sink. Ventilations seemed not working because the entire building was full of cooking smoke during dinner time. Wash room was OK, as we got mentally prepared by reading comments before going.
Room was comfortable for the family of three. Front desk was kind and informative as always. Location is unbeatable to the university and town.
