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.).

SingaporeThe room was a tad stuffy but that’s likely down to the room’s decision to close the windows to avoid traffic noise
The hostel was so homely and they made a big effort to facilitate interactions between everyone which was really nice for a solo traveller. The hostel was clean and the rooms were comfortable.

United KingdomThe pillow was too big and the lockers a bit small. That's all I can think of!
Great location, easy to find, close to everything but quiet too. Staff were lovely and made everyone feel at home. Communal dinners and dining configuration in the kitchen ensured people mixed. Comfortable communal areas with a chilled out vibe.. this is not a party hostel but is lively and friendly. Outstandingly clean in all areas. Comfortable, private beds with curtain, individual lights and power point. Lockers with keys and internal power point. Ample space in each room to keep your stuff. I've stayed in many hostels. This has to be the best one yet! I didn't want to leave.

SwitzerlandOne slight downside was that there were no separate toilet rooms. There are 3 bathrooms that unite shower, toilet and a sink. So you have to wait for whoever takes shower to use the toilet after. But at the same time I got only a couple times when I had to actually wait, and the hostel was at full capacity.
It was very cosy and comfortable to stay there. Calming homey atmosphere added made my trip feel even more special. The facilities were very clean even in the most busy hours. Extra thanks to the stuff! They were very eager to help with anything that was needed, and my very special thank you goes to Chiara who went above and beyond to send me my forgotten keys 😄

PortugalThe hostel is very much a boutique hostel. The room (6 bed dorm) was very spacious and allowed for privacy. Communication was great, they were preparing for a busy summer season, so we had some special instructions that were well thought out and explained to us. Good to see the property is being looked after. Bologna is not a cheap city, accommodation or food wise, but I consider the hostel good value for money. They also prepared a nice dinner get together for the guests that everyone seemed to enjoy.

Singapore- Was a bit too student era hipster for my taste. - If you are storing your luggage after checkout, the bads are left in an open area in the lobby. It's not super secure
- Private spaces for beds and private lockers. - Spacious and clean bathrooms. - A reasonably functional kitchen with ingredients if you want to cook - Cozy and convivial breakfast atmosphere where everyone can meet and share a meal. They also organise private dinner party on Mondays. - It's a good place if you prefer a smaller hostel where people mingle and get to know each other. - Great music choice in the lobby.

PhilippinesNot really a big problem but sometimes the bathrooms are always full so you just have to wait for your turn or be strategic at what time you’ll have to take a bath. They have small lockers but they make a lot of noise so sometimes it would wake people up.
The beds in the dorm room are big and you get to have a curtain for some privacy as well. It’s close to Bologna Centrale too although a bit of a walk, maybe about 15minutes. The day I was at the hostel, they hosted a social dinner for everyone for only 7 euros and it was really fun. The free breakfast was also a treat too, they have all sorts of breads, cold cut, cheese, cereals, and even homemade cake. A lot of the decorations in the hostel too are obviously done w/ so much love and care.

TurkeyEvents and more communication between guests would be better to create more positive atmosphere.
We stayed in Triple room. Bed was very comfortable, room, toilets, linens etc. was super clean. Facility generally was comfortable and clean. We did not feel the hostel vibe as events and communications between guests but it was very good and convenient place to stay. Staff was very helpful with positive energy. I definitely suggest to stay in this place if you are looking for comfortable stay at central location for your Bologna visit.
