Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

EstoniaIt's a bit difficult to share one sink in a six-person room but I guess there were the common shower and toilet areas you could also use.
Great location, recently renovated spaces, friendly and helpful staff, great outdoors area. There was a festival in town and lots of people connected to it stayed at the hostel, sometimes it got a bit loud but the outdoor area was closed by 22.30 which was great.

United KingdomTemperature was above 30C. No fans, no AC so room mates had to open the windows to make it a little bit cooler - did not help either. Mosquitoes getting inside the room, so not pleasant/comfortable sleep I must say.

United KingdomThe most annoying feature was the auto light that came on whenever anyone used the room loo at night, which flooded the bedroom with light if the partition wasn't fully closed (the kids kept forgetting) and blinded you! This was a small detail in an otherwise great stay.
The location is amazing next to the river, close to the beautiful (free!) outdoor lido, easy to get back up the hill to the centre of town, really enjoyed the wilderness of the forest behind too, didn't feel like a city centre hostel at all.

South KoreaNot very far from Bern Station, but it's located under the hill, so if you don't take the public lift, it's quite exhausting to bring the carrier to the hotel. Hotel recommended bern public transportation app which can free ride on public transportation in bern city. It was useful in this case

United KingdomThe room lacked basic bathroom accessories like shower gel and shampoo. It was a bit bizarre to have the guests remove the bed linens to be put into the laundry themselves. The breakfast was included as part of the stay, but it was so basic that there were hardly any options.
The youth hostel is in a prime location and quite spacious hotel. The room was spacious. The toilet and the bathroom were separate which is quite helpful when you go with a group. The room was clean enough. The stay comes with breakfast included.
