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 KingdomRoom was slightly noisy, but that's to be expected when in a shared dorm room. Still had a lovely stay and was able to talk to new people.
Location is fantastic, walk outside and see beautiful snow capped mountains! Staff are lovely and super helpful. Really enjoyed my stay. Rooms are clean, as are the facilities. Breakfast is simple but unlimited and perfect for starting the day (even had vegan yogurt and milk).

NetherlandsFirst of all, as a train geek, the best view in the world! If you don't like sleeping next to a railway line then probably not the best spot :) The hostel is clean and very nicely decorated. The staff is very welcoming. The location everything you dream of when staying in Montreux or using it as a base to explore the area.

United KingdomThe location of the hostel is a very convenient place, easy to get a bus to move around, As it was mentioned washroom is shared i thought it would be horrible but I was wrong, plenty of toilets and shower places, even i think they have more washroom than rooms. Value of money for sure. If i visit Montreux again i will consider it again.

AustraliaIt’s a 1.7km hike around the lake from the Montreux central station. It is a nice walk, but takes a while with luggage. Of course I realised later that there is a closer train station..

NetherlandsYou can't check in early because staff don't show up before 4 PM. Breakfast was okay, nothing to write home about. No soap in toilets and showers so bring your own.
Fantastic location near Territet Station, clean and well appointed amenities. Bed side power socket and lamp were working.

SingaporeThe location was abit difficult to find as it was located below a long flight of stairs. The breakfast was a little disappointing. There wasn't any salad bar as they showed on booking.com photos. There were only some deli meats,cereal,bread and juice. But I felt it was fair for the price paid.
The lobby of the hostel looked like a hotel and the environment felt very clean and cosy. Outside the hostel is a lake which is good for morning walks.

United StatesLittle bit noisy at night when train passing by. We had to open the window to keep fresh air. No air conditioner. We stay two nights in different room because of two separated booking. the first floor room is less noisy than the third floor room. No elevator to floor 2 and 3. Need climb the hill/stairs, it was challenging to carry luggages.
Close to lake, nice view. Breakfast is good.

ItalyBreakfast: it wasn't clear whether coffee and hot drinks had to be paid for extra - I didn't ask however to clarify. The dorms were mixed, which caused a few problems with snoring older males in an otherwise female room.
Location perfect, within walking distance of the centre but well served by a bus every 10 minutes and the local trains. Breakfast abundant, with very healthy and locally sourced options. Staff very friendly and helpful. Rooms light and airy with ample space for suitcases and a spacious safe locker for valuables.

Comfortable stay, hostel was modern and clean inside and reception staff was helpful and friendly. Breakfast range was fantastic and heaps of common spaces to relax and a view of lake Geneva during breakfast! Located near a train and bus stops so was very accessible!

SingaporeIt happened to all hostel, no receptionist at the lobby before 4pm so do not try your luck for early checkin. The new escalator is only up to level 1. I was give room at level 3 and have to carry my big luggage up. The hostel is located at a slope. Just be ready to push your luggage. It’s abit far from the city and there is no supermarket nearby.
The hostel is located just within steps to the lake. It was soooo relaxing and nice to stay late n enjoy the sunset near the lake. The facilities is always clean and tidy the breakfast was fantastic. There were personal locker in the room not big enough for luggage but it’s good for personal belonging.
