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.).

GermanyThe water leaked a little from the shower, so the bath was always very wet.
I like the location, it is located in a very lively and nice neighbourhood, it is easy to reach the city centre from here. There are very cool cafés around the place. We had a room for two with our own bathroom. It was very comfortable, bed was super comfy.

NetherlandsWe visited in winter and unfortunately couldn't regulate the temperature of the room (due to floor heating). It got a bit too hot during the night which impacted our comfort.
The location was great, with nice places to eat close by and it was very easy to get to all the main attractions of the city. Pretty good value for money if you compare it to other places! Well-equipped & clean common kitchen and area to eat if you choose to eat in.

GermanyWalls are a bit thin but nothing that couldn't easily be fixed by some earplugs so it really isn't meant to be a complaint, just info for others to bring earplugs if they are very sensitive to noise. :)

United KingdomI was informed I would have access to the kitchen while the reception was closed with a passcode, but there was a door to the reception/kitchen that seemed to be locked after reception hours - best to ask about it when you arrive.
Single room was great in size and cleanliness with a nice view to the street. There were enough bathrooms on the floor for the amount of rooms. Staff were lovely upon check in. Location was great, easy to get everywhere by public transport.

AustraliaThe beds were super soft and a bit narrow. My back hurt by the end of our stay. Replace the beds and this place would be fabulous. Some might mind walking up to the fourth floor but we didn't. The floors are noisy in the hostel but the studio is located in a separate stairwell so you don't hear them at all within.
We were upgraded on check-in from a twin room with shared bath to the studio apartment which was great. The desk guy let us store our bags when we arrived early and sent a whatsapp when the room was ready. Beds are rather too soft and narrow but otherwise very little to complain about. Good space, we appreciated the laundry and kitchen facilities (didn't cook). Terrific location in an atmospheric and pleasant neighborhood. An easy walk to great food and transport to the rest of Berlin. Would happily stay again.

South KoreaThe walls are thin so you can hear conversations and other things that happen in the rooms next to and above you. There was construction happening in the hallway besides mine. It would have been helpful to let us know beforehand.
The staff were VERY helpful and kind. A man helped me carry my luggage up the stairs. It would have been terrible to do on my own. The room was cozy and it was nice to have shelf and drawer space. The bathrooms are plentiful so you never have to wait to do your business or wash up.

AustraliaIt seemed quite expensive for a hostel. The beds were slightly uncomfortable. The walk up the stairs and to the showers/toilets can be a bit depending which room you get.
The size of the room was quite good. The shared kitchen had all you need to make a meal. The check-in and out was a very simple task. The location of the hostel is quite good for restaurants and access to trams to head to the main areas.

South KoreaThe only downside is the walls seem to be thin and the noise coming from the street can be heard from the rooms. The floors also creak a lot and it bothers people especially light sleepers at night.
I like how overall the rooms are well maintained and clean all throughout. I was glad I booked a single room so I had some privacy, unlike other hostels.

FinlandThe room had only one electricity socket, which was really clumsy when you have two mobile phones to charge. There were also no separate bedside lights for the beds which meant that either you had all the lights on or no lights at all - clumsy if other one wants to sleep and other person read. Sound isolation is very poor, literally non-existent, but fortunately it was rather quiet in the hostel during our stay.
The hostel was spotlessly clean, the rooms were nicely decorated, there was plenty of bathrooms/toilets and the communal kitchen was comfortable. All staff members were super friendly and helpful. Good location with an easy access to several forms of public transport.

CanadaThe rooms are very functional. My solo room reminded me of university dorm room. Which, while fine, could have a few added additions like a smaller lamp, a carpet beside the bed… the curtains should also be wider as it is easy to see into the rooms from the street (hopefully this was just my room!). While it has the title of a hostel, it is more of a between a hostel and a hotel. The staff, while kind, is there for very limited hours a day, and there are not many offerings listed for activities.
I loved the location! You’re in the heard of an excellent foodie neighbourhood, close to public transportation. Good kitchen space and felt very secure! Would recommend if you’re going in a group or if you’re solo and know to make other plans for meeting people!
