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...).

ItalyIt can be noisy. There was a school staying there on the same night as I was and I could hear everything from my room. It wasn't that big of a deal but if you get guys on a stag it won't be pleasant!
The hostel is really nice and the staff very friendly. I was given a private room (with two beds) even though I had booked a bed in a dorm room, which was great! All rooms are ensuite so you don't have to share the bathroom with lots of people. Breakfast is basic (toasts, cereal, yogurt) but has all you need and coffee is good.

United KingdomOne afternoon I came back to the dorm at 4pm and there was a male placed in a dorm room with 3 females. I was confused by this as I had read though the questions and seen a reply from the hostel saying “Hello, we have dorms for men and for women, but we don't offer mixed dorms.” I wouldn’t have minded, but…he was creep and stated that he’d have to sleep alone after finding out the other girls and I had partners. Also the location is super sketchy and doesn’t feel safe to walk back to at night

MexicoThe breakfast was good, it's like a buffet so you can eat whatever you want, the location is a little far so you have to take the tram to Center but its good, i don't know if the area is dangerous but it seemed to be. Also, I had not been in a Hostel and I did not know that I had to rent a towel, which costs an extra 1€

UkraineNot much space in the common kitchen, and no boiler there, but possible to ask for hot water at the bar where not only drinks but some food options are available
The hostel is very new, with an elevator. The room was pretty big with a nice view from huge windows. In walking distance from the city center. Breakfast was excellent with a huge variety of choices including for allergies and vegan persons.

RomaniaThere is no flexibility on the rooms. If one books a female 4 bunk beds dorm and asks for the same type of room or even a downgrade because a room mate stinks to the extent of affecting the others they will offer you to sleep with the window open but no other similar room arrangement possible.
Breakfast was a really nice surprise and definitely a good deal.

UkraineIt was only after reading the comments I understood that there would be no towels, we had our own. We had a separate room for 3 nights, the garbage was removed only once. It can be noisy in the room if there are people chilling in the internal yard. No inbuilt hairdryer. Quite dirty streets around in the neighbourhood, don't know if it's relevant to the whole city or to this area in particular.
The room was a good value for money, very warm, enough spacious. The breakfast was worth a 4-star hotel. Friendly vibe, and nice people at reception. Shops and a couple of cafes nearby.
