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.).

Brunei DarussalamThey put me in a room without no mini fridge (which was advertised) and promised to move me to another room (as I had two bookings for two separate dates) but never did. The staffs are never there and you have to leave a voicemail for them. I was also woken up at 1am twice by the same staff, once for a wake-up call to a temple which turns out to be the room next to me and another asking if I got my room card I think the water heater was broken on my floor halfway of my stay since the water was freezing cold.
This is my second stay here and for a budget traveler this is a good place especially since it's near airport bus stop and in between two subways (Sinseoldong and Dongmyo) making traveling easy

This hostel is ideal for those traveling within a budget. It also has nice location which is accessible to restaurants, market and bus station/ subway.

BrazilI arrived at the hostel, my card to enter the room was not there as indicated in the online check in email. After two hours an attendant appeared and put me in another room for a night, the next day they changed the room. The day before I left, I was bothered several times by two attendants, saying that I hadn't paid for my accommodation, despite showing it on the booking and bank apps. Until 11pm they kept knocking on my room. And I was questioned several times.

PhilippinesThe room is like 2x3meters. It’s a 5-7minute walk to the nearest train station exit/entrance and 6-8minute walk to the nearest bus station/stop. It is 3 city blocks away from Dongdaemun Cloud. The white sheets and pillow cases have stains (old) but smells clean. The small refrigerator is very old and I have not tried if it is working. The table mirror is small. There are no cabinets.
The room is all to yourself and good for 2 people (separate single beds). It has a working hair dryer but I haven’t checked if the small refrigerator was working since I did not use it. There are slippers provided at the main lobby ground floor where you leave your shoes. Check in and check out is fast and convenient. There’s an electric fan and airconditioning unit. There is enough sockets to charge and hangers to hang clothes.

MalaysiaNo lift inside the hostel, be prepare to carry your luggage up the stairs. No receptionist at the counter, you have to communicate with the staff for check-in.
Nearby to Line 1 metro, Dongmyo station exit 2 with lift & Sinseol-dong station exit 12 with lift. There are 3 floors where 1st & 2nd floor are shared bathroom & 3rd floor with private bathroom. There’s a cold & hot water dispenser in the kitchen, you can also do some cooking here.

PhilippinesThe toilet is not clean and doesn't have proper drainage. You have to wait for the water to go down after you shower. The electric fan provided in our room can't be used by the person on the double deck so it's quite hot but thankfully it's already the start of the autumn season. The bedding is not quite clean and the pillows so I have to use linen fabric for any bugs and have to use my towel to cover the pillow and the bed.
What I like the most is the hostel is near to Dongmyo and Sinseoldong Stations. The hostel is in between those stations mentioned. The place was also near a bus stop. Restaurants are everywhere, the neighborhood is nice and quiet. The hostel also provides a kitchen (which we didn't use) but a must if you don't like to eat outside, they also have iron for clothes.
