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 KingdomThere is no space to store and cook food so bear that in mind if it's the type of hostel experience you are looking for.
Excellent secure location (just a little difficult to find the first time - better external signage would be helpful!) Everything is very new, modern and sustainable. The whole hostel was spacious, bright and very clean. The staff were friendly and helpful and the breakfast was great too!

Best hostel I've ever been to. Beds are comfy and everything in the room is new. The place is so clean, shower and bathroom too. Staff is friendly and helpful. Location is perfect, just 2 min away from Teatro Massimo. And the best is the food. Don't miss the chance to include the half board and enjoy a great dinner, Giuseppe is such a talented chef and knows all the traditional Sicilian recipes.

PortugalGreat experience in Palermo. Many thanks to Cleila for the kind reception, help and Palermo tips but also the remainder staff was helpful and friendly. The place feels like new, well clean, with comfortable beds and warm water showers. It also has a nice kitchen/bar area and balcony where they prepare a nice breakfast and also serves as a social area. There's also the possibility of dinner on certain occasions that they announce beforehand. It's well located, at a walking distance from several attractions and transport connections to other attractions outside the city center. Easy hostel recommendation based on my experience.

AustriaI had a pleasent stay in this place , the owner and the 2 guys working there were really nice and ready to help out or to give some Information if needed. The structure was clean ,up to date , modern, and on his own style cute , there was a nice balkony in the room , was also spacious . I liked much ,how you could have that good amount of space in the room. The bathroom was also nice and clean. I would like to say that is not like many others places that you have the kitchen and you could use it and prepare your own food, here is somebody there to prepare, cook the breakfast or and the dinner . How you could understand is a different concept and is nice how it is . I can say that I had a good stay here!

FinlandThe lights in my room were quite bright The lights in the bathroom were timed and were going off all the time when I was having a shower Also the bathroom was easily flooding while showering with no way for drainage and had to dry with the towel I loved the rainforest shower plate! Apart from that all Is top quality the bunk beds are quite cool and firm
It is a brand new concept combining affordable prices with creative eco friendly solutions Felt really welcomed and received with great attention and care by the owner and the amazing team

GermanyI stayed at this cool new place that just opened in January, and I ended up adding two more nights to my stay. The team is super nice, and even though it's not peak season, they really took care of me. They're all about being eco-friendly, and the place is spotless. They give you towels, even a bath mat, and even good-quality shampoo and shower gel in the bathroom. Plus, they have hair dryers. There's a handy laundry room, and my included dinners are freshly cooked. I hope i can come back in mid-season to meet people or maybe join a Sicilian cooking class in their awesome kitchen! It's right in the center of Palermo, making it a perfect base to explore the city. The building has a concierge, so it feels safe, and the hostel is on the first floor with a digital code for entry—no need for keys, just your memory. Oh, and there's this cool water station where you can fill up your bottle with sparkling, cold, or regular water in your room. Big shoutout to the Hostelo team—I hope they keep rocking it and growing in their business! 😊

GermanyThe beds didn't have curtains so no privacy, Room full of moskitos as there was no net or anything. Unfortunately my blanket had some black hair on it and it wasn't really cleaned properly under ghe beds The hostel is very small and so is the common area (just some tables with chairs) so I wouldnt choose the place to socislize with people.
Great location, the staff was very friendly. There was a simple dinner included (basic food but it was filling) and a glass of aperol spritz or beer (other drinks cost extra) The breakfast buffet was ok but not to much choice 3 Towels in different sizes were included. Free water

United StatesToo difficult to find. The rooms are very strange and no privacy for each bed.
It’s close to a lot of good restaurants It’s the hardest property I’ve ever had to try and find. Even just getting into the building is hard they need signage. I walked up and down the same street multiple times before somebody actually helped me find it.
