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.).

GermanyThe toilets should have been cleaned more regularly. When i arrived they were very nice, but after 4 days they were pretty dirty and that did not change until i left after a week.
Easy booking and acess. Also cheap and good accomodations

PakistanBEDs are NOT comfortable ...they are creeky as hell, you wont be able to sleep if u are a light sleeper as anyone in upper bunk or lower bunk turning will move the entire bunkbed. dont go there if you plan a proper nights sleep. the front desk is hopeless and doesnt care about customers enquiries (not welcoming/warm rather frustrated) they was clueless about pub crawl and even upon asking they didnt seem to know about it. These were highligted and showcased as very social hostel which isnt the case except for the pub/disco next door.
Party atmosphere at the club next door only on weekends while weekdays are dead.

NigeriaHeating could be better during winter but it was not so bad
I stayed at St Christopher Inn in Paris and loved it. When i discovered that it was close to the location i was visiting in London, i didn't hesitate to book it. i was not disappointed- the location was great, security was top notch, it was quite clean (in comparison to other hostels), and it was comfortable for a four-night stay.

JapanCustomer service is very systematic in order to accommodate a large number of customers. Therefore there is no customer satisfaction. E.g. they don't try to create a space for just one bicycle overnight.

United KingdomNo communal areas other than the bar downstairs, but if one is aware of this beforehand, then the hostel meets expectations.
Helpful staff, clean rooms. Curtained beds provide a very private personal sleeping space. Handy charging points for every guest.

BrazilThe hostel does offer lockers, but you need to bring your own padlock. Otherwise, they'll charge you 5£ per day. And the facilities were not very organised and clean.
Great location, near to bus stops and underground station, which makes it easier to travel around the city. The pod was great, but the room itself was dark and not very clean.

AustraliaBunk beds don’t have much vertical space, I was constantly craining my neck when not lying down. The door to my room on the first night was jammed but I think it might have been the other guests.
Really great hostel, super affordable price in an otherwise unaffordable city. Good locker sizes provided and plenty of shared facilities so you’re never waiting.

Though the toilets and bathrooms weren’t the cleanest/topped up with tp and we were really disappointed with the kitchen facilities as we thought maybe it could be a bit more outlined
