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.).

United KingdomIt wasn’t great having to pay to store your bag in the luggage room. There was nothing to dry your hand with in the bathroom unless you rented a towel. And not related to the property but someone in my room was up at 5am so we all had a disturbed sleep.
The property was very big and had a bar and kitchen that you could cook in and the staff were very friendly

United KingdomExpensive to buy a ticket for breakfast which I would of hoped for more than toast, cerials etc and didn't seem worth it with a communal kitchen. It would be better if the cafe was open a bit earlier (from 7am) to have a coffee before I left in the morning.
I came here to stay a couple of nights to be closer to my new job in London. The lounge area was a great space to chill out, read and do work which is exactly what I hoped for. Loved the communal kitchen and bar which also had a relaxed atmosphere. Beds has a space to charge phones, a light, locker, fan and curtains for privacy. Shower was modern, large and luxurious. It was good that the reception is available 24/7 and can use your keycard to enter the hostel at any time.

United KingdomOne of the best hostels I have stayed in the UK. The staff members at the reception are welcoming and friendly. The room has got bunker beds and each bed has curtains for the privacy. You get your own fan and a small locker for your valuables I.e. Mobile, watch, wallets within your bunker. You also get a bigger locker for your bags or suitcase which can be locked by the keycard you receive at the reception. They have got beautiful arrangements in the basement, you can play games, relax, read, have a drink and enjoy the ambiance. Loved the place. Will definitely go again.

SpainPeople do not respect silence from 10pm onwards. Maybe late check-ins should be avoided or put in together.
The mattress was comfy and the bed had curtains. Apart, there were a shower and a toilet inside the room for 8 guests. Clean.

Australia- I didn’t like the process for choosing your own dorm bed and how you have to put a tag on the one you want. It splits up the people you travel with and creates extra admin work for staff as well as travellers - the 8 bed dorm was up an elevator plus another two flights of stairs
- the bar area downstairs was really nice - the kitchen was large and well equipped - the lockers in the beds were a nice touch and also the power point, shelf and curtains - location is good close to two metro stations

ChileBreakfast could have more options.
The staff is really nice. All are very smiley and seem open to help. The breakfast wasn't great, not many options, and for the same value you probably get a nice breakfast in a coffee elsewhere, apart from that the place was great. Everything works perfectly and you have plenty of places in the hostel to meet people and hang out. The bar in the basement was also great. Installations are good and it gives you a sense of cleanness and safetiness. Everyone in my room was very respectful with others in terms of light and noise and the bed was ok. Maybe this is the little downside. The bed is just right. I mean they're good for sleeping but you can't move much. The location was also good. Very easy to get to several metro stations and enough night buses get very close to the place too. It seems very safe even at night. A bit lonely in the area overnight but it's very safe I would say.
