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.).

TurkeyThe rooms are very cold depending on the weather. The room is only heated from the floor but it is not enough to heat the room in winter. Room floor and bathroom are clean but windows and sides are full of dust.
Staff were really helpfull with everything. They gave us really good advise about where to visit, transportation and the timetables. Location is really convenient and nearby lots of cafe, restaurants, bars and metro.

United Arab EmiratesThe most annoying part for me was that although this is a PARTY hostel, they don’t allow you to bring your own drinks even though they don’t have a common area? So you’d have to hang out at their reception bar in order to drink with the people you meet.. But onto the quality of life things: - Bathroom had a lot of mildew, I had to hold my breath to get ready. - There’s only 3 bathrooms for about like 7 rooms so busy times you’d have to queue/wait. - Bunk placement was very awkward so everybody’s suitcases were on the floor, and bunks didn’t have curtains. - You can’t use your own lock you have to rent the key and locker from the reception. - Outlets were very old and kept falling off (it took me about 5-10mins before bed every night to adjust my plugs intricately so that they won’t fall out as I slept). - No common area for people to socialize in.
- Central location, very close to lots of cafes, party spots, multiple Olive Young’s..etc! - Staff were nice, they watched over my Nintendo Switch as I left it to charge before leaving to the airport. - Met a lot of cool travelers!

FinlandThe building seems a bit old so for example bathroom facilities are not the most comfortable. The biggest minus is I was staying in the female dorm and unfortunately the locking system would beep very loudly every time somebody left and entered the room so I woke up a few times because of this. Other dorms are probably a better choice as they didn't have this locking mechanism (they don't have locks at all)
My stay at the hostel was good, the location is perfect, in one of the main party districts with lots of nice bars and restaurants around the corner. The hostel is clean and the staff friendly.

AustriaBed sheets not really clean, Bathroom okay if you are used to camping-like standards. Can be a bit noisy at night, but okay, it is literally a party hostel (it says so in the name) so you know what to expect :)

AustraliaUnfortunately I found this hostel to be quite unorganised, there were no curtains on the beds so you have no privacy and you can’t use the lockers for free so people just left their stuff everywhere in the room. The bunk beds were also creaky and poor quality. Also there are no locks on the door and you don’t get a key card, so anyone who knows the code, or can otherwise open the main door, can also enter the hostel rooms which makes people feel unsafe about their belongings. Other people I talked to at the hostel said they were surprised this place had such good reviews. The hostel bar was dark and small. I am sure you could find a better hostel in Seoul with a great location and people who are just as nice - just my personal opinion!
Great location! The staff and people staying here were all super friendly and really helpful. They offer towels for free for your stay too which is awesome.
