Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

AustraliaWhile the larger dorm room occasionally had an unsavoury smell that came and went, the smaller dorms did not seem to share this issue. It’s a minor concern but one that would enhance the overall comfort if addressed. Unfortunately, the elevator was out of service during my stay, which meant frequent treks to the top floor. While not ideal, it was manageable and did little to dampen the experience of a city-centric stay. The price point is notably high for a hostel, which may influence budget-conscious travellers.
Hostel John Galt enjoys an enviable location that truly can't be beaten, situated right in the pulsing heart of Brno. This prime positioning makes it an ideal base for exploring the city, with easy access to local attractions, dining, and nightlife. The hostel's design is tastefully done, blending modern aesthetics with functional spaces, particularly noticeable in the common areas where guests can cook and prepare meals. This adds a nice touch of home-away-from-home comfort which is especially appreciated by those looking to stay in and enjoy a quiet evening. The staff, mainly managed by one individual who both lives and works there, deserves a special mention. He was friendly and exceedingly helpful, providing assistance and local knowledge that greatly enriched my stay. It's clear he is deeply invested in the hostel; however, the intensity of managing such a busy establishment single-handedly sometimes showed through in moments of apparent frustration. While this was slightly off-putting at times, it didn’t significantly detract from the overall positive interaction.

GermanyCheap option to stay in Brno. The hostel is in the very center of the city, just a few meters away from train and bus station. It is a bit messy and not super clean. Personally, I don't mind too much but if you care about that keep it in mind.

BrazilThe elevator was broken and we had to use the stairs, the hostel is in a building with other businesses and though the stairs were clean it smelled like garbage.
The staff was really nice and did everything to make us feel welcomed, the hostel was cozy and the location is amazing, we reached all attractions on foot and it's really close to the bus station.

The location was amazing. Everything I needed was within walking distance. Everything looked great and clean. Personal was really nice. We all had a lil' lamp by our beds that was adjustable and the common room was fabulous. I felt really nice while working on my project there ^^.
