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.).

TurkeyThere is No towels. The room is not very clean and very small. There is No chair or anything else that you can sit or put your luggage. And the taps in the room were very strange. İ also shared its photo. You cant use a mixture of Hot and cold water at the same time. You have to constantly press the tap with one hand.
Location is good near to city center. You can take free soluble coffee in the reception.

IrelandThere had been a non-scalp hair on my sheet when I inspected the double bed. The two bed room was less cozy and the bathroom seemed to be a little less clean. Overall, the condition of the rooms was acceptable regarding that it is a hostel and its good location.
The hostel is centrally located and the staff was very nice. The quality of the rooms vary. I stayed both in a double room and a two bed room. The double room was cosy, its bathroom was clean.

United KingdomWet room drain was backing up which caused the floor to get "flooded" pretty quick which meant our showers had to be short lived. Unfortunately the cafe was closed at the time of our visit.
Location was fantastic and staff friendly and helpful.

IrelandNo soap or shampoo in the rooms. And towels. I don't mind asking for a towel but these basic things should be in the room on arrival.
I think the location is very good, just ten minutes from the bus station, close to shops and amenities. Room is a good size. Plenty of space.

United KingdomWe suffered from poorly used toilets, I understand that cleaning staff can't clean it few times a day. Some tenants in the hostel don't flush properly after using and its really embarrassing to use them with that condition. A strange think to note is that the toilet lights are to less sensitive to motion, it's like within few seconds of inactivity they goes off even we are still inside. It was a tiring effort to keep them on (literally had to bring out the dance moves ;) )
The room was clean and tidy. Had two bunk beds as it was in the description, those were neat and clean. Had a sink and tap inside the room which was very handy. Room is fairly small but it's expected for that price, heater was working and stay was very comfortable.
