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...).

Central is perfectly located nearest to the railway station and surrounded by a peaceful area. Rooms are very clean and nicely decorated. Shower is available, and inside the room it's warm. Generally I liked the stay and would recommend others.

ItalyThe plugs weren't easily accessible from a top bunk, the lockers were a bit small (couldn't fit a small backpack), and one of the bathrooms was missing toilet paper. The room felt a bit stuffy.
The hostel was not far from the bus and train station, the facilities were clean and the check-in process was very fast.

Nice little hostel near the center of Riga, it was a good value for a private room. Clean and basic facilities, it's a good place to stay if you are coming for a couple of days on a budget.

PolandThe only two disadvantages were that it was cold in the corridor leading to the rooms, the bathroom, and the toilet and that the blinds covering the windows in the rooms were partially see-through. There were street lights right in front of the windows so it didn't really get dark in the room in the night.
The hostel is located in the center of Riga, close to the old town, the bus stop, the train station, and the central market. The room and the common areas were clean. There was free tea and coffee available for guests. There were also free candies :) The bedding was clean, and there was a towel provided. The staff was nice. The wifi worked fine.

North MacedoniaThe kitchen was being renovated while we were there
We stayed one day in a private room and ended up staying one more night in a 4 bedroom dorm as the hostel was fully booked. The receptionist is very nice and helpful. The rooms were good, clean and comfortable. Pillows in the private room were great but in the dorm were very low. Bathrooms are clean. Wifi works good. Location is great as it is just 10min walking distance from Riga’s old town and even closer to the central train station.
