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 is quite expensive for a hostel. We also didn't get the rubbish bin cleaned for the first 4 days and had to ask for it to be done. Turns out they just hadn't given us a door handle sign but then forgot to give us one after we asked.
I thought the location and staff were nice.

United KingdomNo aircon in the dorm rooms, which normally wouldn't be a problem in Melbourne, but happened to be there on the week of pure sun, which made for uncomfortable sleeping!
Centrally located and good sized dorm rooms, beds were super comfy, with curtains making it private which on some days when solo travelling is nice. Staff make an effort with social events to get people talking!

IrelandOnly 2 ladies toilets on the floor and 1 was clogged most of the time I was there, some of the shower doors didn't lock but luckily there wasn't a queue most of the time. The kitchen fridges were jam packed and the electricity stopped working one of the days. The communal area by the kitchen gets really noisy at night with people playing music so hard to talk/work. The lockers in the bed are annoying, you keep bumping off them and also the lock is fiddly so just didn't use it at all
Beds are comfy, nice features like lights and curtains. Good group chat and fun events on all the time. Staff were friendly and helpful. Good facilities with a cinema room, bar in the basement but you don't hear it upstairs. Location was really good to see everything in the city and not too far from the skybus

United KingdomThere was some noise and music going on until quite late (past midnight) that i could hear from my room. It didn’t bother me too much, but wouldn’t have been ideal if i had needed to get an early night.
Amazing location!! Lots to do within walking distance. The hostel also organised lots of group activities every day so it’s perfect if you’re looking to meet people. Beds also had curtains which blocked out the light really effectively :)

United KingdomThe locker inside of the bed space was in an awkward position and was difficult to open. Made the bed feel a little cramped as you would sometimes hit your knee on it
Great location, loads of activities planned, private showers/toilets, nice kitchen and work space. Met some great people, staff were friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean and was given a towel for $6 which was nice.

United StatesNo locker storage (still fine because of the box in the beds) and hard to sleep on warm nights because there are only two fans
Nice kitchen area, extremely friendly and helpful staff. Lot of events around city and at the downstairs bar that make it easy to meet people and keep dorms more quiet. Love the curtains on the beds as well as the little storage box to keep clothes easily accessible. Laundry is expensive but includes soap and convenient.

CanadaThe cupboard INSIDE the bunk was so stupid. Every time I turned over in the night I smacked my knees on the bottom of it and I have very bruised sketchy looking knees now. Also it was 12° outside at night and the windows open so little, that it was 25° inside the room. Fans didn’t do much
I liked the central location. The bar in the basement was cute. They give you a free welcome drink. I loved the amount of activities the hostel does together. Helped me get out at night or just at the beginning to make friends
