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.).

South KoreaExcellent backpackers! If you want to call it a 'backpackers'. I can see a lot of money was spent on upgrades to the facilities. The breakfast option is also great. Means you don't have to think about what to gave for breakfast before exploring Amsterdam.

GreeceThe room needs a fridge. Our neighbors were very noisy. I know that's not the hostel's responsibility 100%, but I think I should mention it. If you don't want to disturb your sleep, make it clear to the reception; maybe they can control who's going to be your neighbor (teenagers, for example, make so much noise—try to avoid them). Take your own towels, toothpaste, shampoo, etc. Otherwise, you can by from the reception or any supermarket around.
The hostel is really nice and the building is very interesting. The bar next to the reception is really cute, and the prices are nice compared to the prices in the city center. The receptionists were very polite and helpful for any question we had. The room was nice (a private room with a private bathroom), and the beds were very comfortable. The location is perfect; you can go anywhere, even on foot (max walking distance 20-25 minutes). There are many restaurants around, supermarkets, souvenir shops, etc. The Vondel Park is right there. You will be walking in it every day to reach the hostel. Museums like Moco, Van Goghs, and Rijksmuseum are close to it. Lastly, the bus and station are also very close to the hostel, and a store where you can rent bikes is close too.

United StatesNo cups, towel provided!!!! I had to pack my own towel wet in my luggage. Needs more hanging hooks. Bring your own wire hangers. Need better layout of those storage boxes for better usages i.e. pulled out for sitting & placing luggage Mirror is in a strange location, the entire space in the front is idle from other usages.
Excellent location: walk across the park to museums, in a quite street for sleep, near bus stop to the airport and also Tram station to central station. Very friendly customer services.

Hong KongOne con in the rooms is that the sink is not inside the toilet/shower cubicle but outside in the rooms. Not ideal since whenever you want to use the sink and tap, everyone else in the room wakes up because of the noise. There’s also no kitchen which is a bit weird for a hostel.
Good location, there’s a bus stop 3-4 mins walk which goes directly to the airport. Although the path walking To the hostel is a bit quiet in the night.

United StatesAs a solo traveler the entrance to the hostel was just sketchy. There were two ways to go into the hostel and one was by a park and another was a very long alley. Both frequented my drinkers and homeless ppl at night time.
Loved the decoration and cleanliness of rooms!

ItalyThe room was pretty big for the little radiator under the windows, this made it very cold for all the stay. Price was extremely high for a room with no tv, no services of cleaning (for the envirinment, i agree, but still too high considering the services) and super cold.
Amazing location and staff. The hostel is nice, you can see staff is taking care of the ambience, everything is nice and full of nice people, aesthetically super pleasing. There is a nice bar at the ground floor if you want to drink something during the day, even if you don't pay for full breakfast you can have something warm there and it's super good.

United KingdomI wasn't warned that my room was next to a building under renovation so being woken at 7am each morning by hammering, drilling etc which sounded like it was in the same room as me didn't exactly leave me rested. The noise continued most of day so wasn't even able to have a much needed nap to try and catch up on sleep. Was more tired than before my holiday
Lovely area, access to park amazing, plenty of shops, bars, cafés etc close. Modern, bright and clean. Tram very close but also not a bad walk into city centre. I would stay again but in a different room...
