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.).

AustraliaIt had beautiful old wooden floors which looked gorgeous, but made so much noise when you walked on them. I was so anxious about disturbing other guests haha. Also my window was broken and couldn’t be shut, leaving it to open by itself and leave my room very cold and let in more noise from the street.
It had dead-bolt locking doors and single rooms available. Despite being a hostel, I felt pretty safe.

GermanyWe didn't had a window in the room but just a little opening on the door that led to the hallway. It was extremely loud and you could hear everything that happened outside of our room. But the worst thing of our stay were the bathrooms. They were super dirty and probably not cleaned once in 3 days. The kitchen was ok but pretty poorly equipped. Fridges and shelves completely full.
The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. The property has a lift which is great to get luggage to the room.

The bed is good. But the booking system isn't accurate, since I booked 4 bed room, but later on I got 6 bed room. The price isn't the same as website shows as well.

AustraliaAn error was found that would have blocked me from all hostels in WA. Thankfully i have a positive relationship with gm and most staff and was allowed fo extend. Would have been an absolute nightmare if not discovered. Other staff assured was an error but this could have affected returning to my working hostel down south upon arriving back there.
Really positive experience with guests and place. Best GM of a hostel i have encountered after managing a hostel myself in the same suburb prior to covid and our closure. Backpackers seem genuienly happy and the culture of the place is ideal for travellers. Wow really! Actually nice to see the needs of the backpackers met so well for such a good price

AustraliaI booked a private room because I wanted to rest before a long flight and I couldn't sleep because of the music, until 11 p.m. the music was so loud that you could hear it in the whole hostel. And until midnight there was noise in general. I don't recommend it if your idea is to rest.

United KingdomProperty was incredibly loud until very late at night, music blaring and people shouting around until around 3am, no sign of staff telling them to stop despite signage saying no noise after midnight. Rooms were incredibly hot, fans might as well have not existed. Beds were uncomfortable and some were even unsafe to access (top bunks).
In a great location, central to Perth trains and buses to get pretty much anywhere! Tons of shops, bars and restaurants nearby.
