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.).

GermanyThere are very few toilets and showers and the beds are not very comfortable. But it's a hostel for good value, so no need to complain about that!
Really good vibe and close to the beach. They have got a couple of games and there are some events at the bar. We didn't miss anything in the kitchen. I would definitely book again☺️

AustraliaThe room was under the bar so it could be pretty noisy some nights but they provided free earplugs which worked a treat. The room would get really hot some nights which could be pretty uncomfortable (this was in June). Also, I was expecting a more social hostel and they advertise different activities so Saturday was meant to be drinking games but when I went up there, there was nothing going on. I know the social aspect is based on the crowd at the time, but I was surprised the staff were not running the activities they were advertising.
The room was pretty spacious and the bed was comfortable enough. Super close to the beach which was amazing and good for watching the gorgeous sunset each night! There was also a good running/walking/cycling trail nearby which was in good condition.

PolandBed was wobbly, everytime guy sleeping on the lower level was moving, whole bed was moving too... Also would be nice to have a shelf on upper bed so the personal items dont fall down... And maybe some curtains to get a bit of privacy? And why put those rules with the age if there was a woman traveling with a kid anyway 😅
Staff was super nice. Kitchen and pool are nice too. Location was perfect. Everything was clean.

NetherlandsThe beds were not that comfortable but it's a hostel so they weren't awful either.
The staff were really friendly and helpful, location was amazing - so close to the beach and the bus stop was 2 mins away which was so convenient. The rooms were nice enough for a hostel but super clean which made them that much better.
