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...).

LatviaWe had a private room for 3 people with shared bathroom. The floor where these private rooms are located is very quiet. Facilities are clean and well maintained. Shared bathroom wasn't causing any issues for as (it was always available, clean and working well). Also there is 24/7 grocery store downstairs which is very convenient. Overall good value for money.

Czech RepublicFor the price there was nothing to complain. The room was not really cozy, tall ceiling with cold blue colors(which I understand are part of the hostel's visual logo-design) and the pipes on the ceiling don't add beauty neither (I guess they become very popular in all those hipster cafes, just I'm not sure if it's suitable in accommodation). However otherwise everything was functional and fine, I must say the mattress was great, I haven't slept this comfortable in long time. Although it's apparently a cheaper place for young backpackers etc, I didn't find any issue even staying there with baby, we were even offered a crib ( which we didn't need). Pair of nice simple slippers for 2€ at reception came handy, staff was nice.
Location was very well reachable by tram even in late hours, we checked in around midnight. Although not in center,but locality was quite neat and picturesque neighborhood. I think I will keep this place in mind if we ever end up needing some emergency sleep over in Helsinki.

decent kitchen. good lounge area. the 16 dorm bed had plenty of walls, which is nice b/c is doesn’t “feel” like an open 16 person dorm. compartmentalizes the beds a bit, which is nice.

AustriaShower curtain was there just to check off the list, not to cover you. The reception area was also a common area where people could have a drink, play games, and talk. This was not at all a problem during the day, but when they were loud at night (pass 11pm), I could hear it all the way in my room which is on the same floor (this is something staff should take notice off!).
Location was very close to public transport, very easy to get around. Everything was clean. Staff was nice and available 24/7. One card to open front door, room door, and locker so it was quite convenient. During the two days that I stayed here, the room (18-bed mixed room) was only at about 1/3 capacity, and I felt like other rooms were not full either. I didn't have to wait for shower or washroom (I actually had the whole shower area for myself twice), but I can't imagine staying when it's at capacity.
