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 KingdomBreakfast could be better!
Breakfast is OK , location is OK , bus stop is right in front of the hotel 👍 staff was friendly/accommodating👍👍, the best part is the pillow/duvet cover and the bed sheet given - not all hostels do so , hence this is the best hostel i have come across, thank you 👍🙂 Special mention to the receptionist- I had booked a mixed dorm for the first time in my life, It was last minute decision, I was not sure how many men had already checked in before me… I expressed my doubts and the gal at the reception, she gave me another dorm where at least one other woman had checked in already… thanks to the gal 👍🙂

United KingdomI would have liked more variety at breakfast. The bedding comes wrapped in plastic, which seems unnecessary.
It had everything I needed for a short stay. The hostel was easy to find and check in was simple. The property is at the edge of a big park and there's a supermarket 3 min cycle away. The beds were better than those at Stayokay Bunnik and each bed has its own power socket and light. There was a place to hang up my wet raincoat in the room (I think it was a towel hook actually).

IndiaStay okay Haarlem was pretty decent and a budget property. The staff is really friendly and helpful. It's a bit far away from the city of Amsterdam (Amsterdam Central) but if you would want to explore Haarlem and nearby areas it's a 10/10 deal! Would definitely visit again and sure for long stays.

AustraliaThere were large numbers of children who only knew how to run in the corridors and up and down stairs. If I’d known that I would have booked somewhere else. It was also a long way from Haarlem itself and if you didn’t have a bike, a bus was required which was close by fortunately. Amsterdam required a train as well.
A good Breakfast was included and there were some nice walks nearby.

ItalyThe staff were tired and very confused, but despite everything they were always kind and with a smile trying to explain things. Sometimes for dinner you couldn't understand what you had to eat.
The property was all around nature, and it was like going back in time. The super breakfast is also enough for lunch.

NetherlandsIn certain moments, the staff is not present at the reception and you may have to look for them in other common areas of the hostel.
The rooms and beds are comfortable for a short stay. There is a bus station right in front of the hostel, which takes you to the main station. Make sure to check the frequency, though!
