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 KingdomThe communal living room/TV room was a bit tired but we were out all day so not a problem for us as we didn't use it. The bar area downstairs is great to relax in.
Friendly and clean hostel in a beautiful part of the french Alpes. Easy to get onto hiking and biking trails - head up to lac Vert if you can! A nice bar and burger van for a bite to eat in the evenings. Very friendly staff who gave us lots of tips on what to do.

United KingdomIt's the nature of a shared dormitory in a youth hostel, and sometimes you get lucky with the respect and courtesy of your fellow hostelers and sometimes you don't. Unfortunately on two of the 3 nights that my daughter and I stayed, we were not so lucky. Lights coming on at all hours, doors opening and closing all evening, children running around the hostel. It's part of it, I get it, You take your chances and its actually part of hostelling, I'm not moaning, but lights that automatically turn off if they are left on by inconsiderate or forgetful guests, and soft closing doors may be a minor solution. Loved my stay all the same x thank you
Atmosphere, ambiance, staff, price, bar, food, packed lunch option. Fellow guests sharing food such as coffee, salt and cooking oil in the self catering kitchen, wonderful gestures of kind human nature. Loved it.

United KingdomHaving to go home
Breakfast was nice (only had it on our first morning), but because it is a hostel with kitchen facilities we brought food for our stay and cooked . However the kids and I did have the burgers on the first night for dinner and then insisted on them for our last night too! Good Burgers! It was also nice because I was traveling with the kids (12 and 14) I could have a beer at the end of the day in the bar and they could hang out , play games or even start getting food ready . It was a great place to stay as family.

The Hostel was well equipped and had a good vibe with plenty of people coming and going. The recreation area was well used and had plenty of games. The restaurant was nice but booking is needed.

GermanyThe pictures and description of the accommodation do not correspond to reality. The smell of moisture and mold was very unpleasant. Large, indefinable stains on the mattress. You have to strip your bed yourself and it is quite disgusting to discover what you have slept on.

GermanyWow, I had an exceptional week here, its a good place :) normally i am a bit sceptic if a hostel is also a bar, it can lead to a lot of hidden costs. But here it was very nice. some locals came over for beers, you could bring your own food and drinks (non-alcoholic) from the kitchen into the bar space and it was always a very social, warm and friendly atmosphere. will be back in summer :)
