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.).

New ZealandThe internet connection was patchy in the room and there weren't any plugs near some of the beds but I did choose that bed
The bathroom in the shared room was immaculate, kept really clean. Great shower and facilities. The kitchen was well equipped, the beds had great privacy curtains. It was easy to get in and out and the host was lovely

GermanyI had the whole Hostel to myself since i went in march. But since there are 9 rooms having to share one bathroom, i think it might get kinda crowded.
The hostel is clean and nicely put together.

United KingdomThe room I stayed in was quite small. Since I was there alone it was ok, but can't imagine four people sharing it.
Very clean and quiet (as I was there alone). The kitchen is well equipped.

United KingdomIt’s an uphill walk from the bus stop, not great with luggage. There’s no living room, so some guests would occupy the whole kitchen table with their laptop where they played games. The 4-bed dorm was very small and had very little space for luggage. I was lucky as it was just me and 1 other guest, so it was fine, but I think it wouldn’t be convenient if the room was fully booked. The dorm was on the top floor, it was difficult to climb the steep narrow stair case with the suitcase. Only 1 communal shower+toilet for this room and 2 other rooms on this floor (although they may have their own bathrooms?).
It’s a small hostel, felt more like a B&B. Very clean. The kitchen was nice, with induction hobs. The bathroom was good, with a modern shower, hot water and good water pressure. They even provided a towel, which was a nice surprise given that it's a hostel! There’s a supermarket nearby. A short walk from the bus stop (but, not all buses stop there) and the seaside promenade.

FranceIt's not that I didn't like it, but I found it surprising that anyone could enter the hostel, night and day. The door is always open. I didn't feel uncomfortable with that, as the Island seems to be a very safe place.
The bed was very comfy and the staff was friendly. The bathroom was fantastic - never seen such a good one in a hostel.

United KingdomThis was great value for a spotless hostel with great kitchen facilities. Very close to the promenade and excellent proximity to bus routes. I felt very confident that my things were secure as each bedroom had its own door code. Only stayed 4 nights so very surprised to find a clean towel left for me halfway through my stay. This attention to the small things sums up this hostel. Nellie was really friendly and helpful, but also was able to make suggestions for great days out. I will be staying here again whenever I travel alone, but would also consider it as a couple or with a group of friends. Such a lovely way to meet fellow travellers.

United KingdomFrom the beginning was't clear about key - so shared key in a small box no need to take with you - it is just key that should be in a box permanently for all other people in a room(just additional information for other tourists :) )
Nice place with good communication, Nelly was very friendly and helpful. Good kitchen with all necessary equipment. Rooms were cleaned every day - that is amazing.

BrazilThe doors are very noisy and my room was very small. Fortunately I was by myself there, but if not I wouldn’t have space to do much (like open the suitcase). The price is also a bit high for what it is offered, although it is a nice place.
The hostel was clean, the shower was good and the bed was very comfortable. The kitchen seemed well supplied although I didn’t use it much. I believe, however, no one else was there at the time, so that might have made everything smoother, but I did get a very nice overall impression of the place.
