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...).

United KingdomRooms were very basic - no privacy curtain, reading lights or lockers, literally just beds. The curtains don’t fully cover the triangular windows so it was very light in the mornings. The upper bunks didn’t have plug sockets next to them. The kitchen is one of the worst I’ve seen — not so much the fault of the hostel, but it seemed like absolutely nobody bothered to wash up after themselves. Huge piles of dirty dishes in every sink. One staff member was very unhelpful and a little rude when I was trying to check out in time to make my ferry back.
The hostel has a very cool bar attached that looks right out to the sea. On arrival we were given vouchers for a free welcome cocktail which was a very nice touch. The rooms were basic but clean. If you download the Goki app you can use your phone as a room key. The hostel is right opposite a bus stop. Plenty of shower and toilet facilities so no need to ever wait. The hostel is very nice aesthetically.

AustraliaThe bathrooms were smelly and could be cleaned more often. The food they are selling at the bar is very processed and not really worth the price. I'd rather cook myself next time.
Great location and the cabins were amazing and well air conditioned. They have a bar and selling food which was very basic and very processed food but you can't expect too much at a hostel.

AustraliaSlightly packed rooms with not much space for big bags. Not too much of a problem if you're spending most of the time out exploring though.
Right on the beach at Nelly bay, the facilities are awesome with the pool, bar and restaurant central to everything. The bus stop is just across the road, which gets you to all the best spots on the island.
