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.).

CanadaTowel rental was ridiculous. Paris generator allowed you to exchange towels for free after rental for fresh ones. This place made u pay for each fresh towel which is more than the towel cost Also the smoking section was hidden and not explained at all. From floor 2 the door says Staff only. On floor 1 it says smoking area/laundry. The staff watched me smoke outside on the street for the first night without ever mentioning they had a private area with chairs. This upset me when I found the area by mistake but once I found it it was very relaxing. This needs to be posted properly
Location was great. Rooms were quiet

FranceThe main elevator is under reparation, and the service elevator was broken for the first few days of my stay, and I was staying on the 6th floor… so that was sometimes tough but it was repaired halfway through my stay.
Very easy to get to from Termini - the station you arrive at if taking the train in from Rome airport (about a 10 min walk). There’s someone at the front desk 24/7 which is practical. There’s a “day bar” for coffees and in the evening another bar for cocktails (and I think they serve food but I didn’t try). The nearest metro is Piazzo Vittorio Emanuele and is very convenient, though I mostly walked. The Basilica Santa Maria Maggiore is just a 10 min walk, the Colosseum about a 20-min walk, Trevi Fountain about 30, and Pantheon just a few minutes further. You can also walk to other major sites so really for the price, it’s a great place. I shared a room with 3 other woman, and it was nice to meet other people throughout the stay. The rooms are cute for a hostel, and each bed has its own large case in which you can store your belongings and padlock it (either bring your own or you can buy one on-site). You can also do laundry (purchase tokens and detergent at reception). Overall very happy with my stay.

United KingdomI was a bit surprised by how expensive the drinks in the bar were - much more than at restaurants/bars for drinks that weren't as high quality. With it being a hostel bar, I thought it would have been cheaper.
I really enjoyed my stay at Generator! I was travelling alone and stayed in a 4-bed girl dorm. I found the facilities to be really good - especially the shower pressure - and once the bottom sheet was on the bed, it was really comfy. I liked that each bed had its own light, plug socket, and a pocket to store things in, and the storage bins were really spacious. I didn't spend much time in the hostel but the staff I did encounter were friendly and helpful.

UkraineMaybe the neighbourhood a little, because of rubbish, graffiti and some people. But it's a usual things in places like near the train stations.
A good place for a first acquaintance with the Eternal City. I lived in a room with 6 people, my neighbors were respectable and pleasant people. The room was clean, the bed linen was nice, the pillows were good. The bathroom has all the amenities, there is a heated towel rail, very pleasant liquid soap, and hot water in the shower. The hostel staff is friendly and organized. Pros: - very close to the train station Termini - There is a park (Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II) nearby where you can get water from a drinking fountain. ! Important points ! - if you don’t have a towel with you, you can rent one for 5 euros at the reception - be sure to take indoor slippers/flip-flops with you if you don’t want to walk around in socks or barefoot

AustraliaThe luggage storage was very expensive - around €6 for a day and when I extended my stay in a different room, they made me pay to store it while I waited for the other room. Also, not much opportunity to socialise, although it was the weekend - the rooftop bar was closed :(
Very comfortable beds and always nice facilities at the generator hostels. Only a 20 minute walk to the city centre and the staff were really lovely.

Her stuff was everywhere, even in the bathroom and toilet, which made me feel uncomfortable. Although it was not the hostel's fault, there could have been some strict regulations regarding it.
