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.).

NetherlandsWifi didn't work in my room. Bathroom is unavailable for two hours each day due to (very slow) cleaning at inconvenient times (morning and evening), the breakfast is sub-par (cheap jam/peanut butter, white bread), they really need an extra fridge, my interactions with the staff lacked kindness/enthusiasm.
Hostel is modern and spacious. Dorms/bathroom are of high quality when it comes to bedding, facilities. The building is lovely and there is elevator access. Kitchen has everything you need for basic cookings. For those interested, there are daily activities to get to know other travellers.

SpainBreakfast is a bit poor. Facilities are a bit old. Common rooms have room for improvement. Ventilation for many beds should be improved. Upper beds should have curtains to not see the ceiling as it is exposed to light.

AustraliaNo power points in rooms and the USB port at the bedside would not charge my phone due to unstable power. The phone would register as charging, then not charge. This was with a modern 2024 model phone.
One of the nicest hostels iv ever stayed in. Comfortable beds with curtains on the bunks. Clean spaces, beautiful building and an excellent location.

GermanyThe kitchen was so full from 18:30 pm that it was not possible to cook. There wasn't enough space for so many people and there wasn't enough room in the fridges to store things. Every day you had to look for your cool bag in the fridge and hope to find it and that nothing was crushed or broken, which was a shame. The lounge area also needs renovation.
The room was bright, spacious and comfortable, the location was great and everything was very clean! The toilets and showers were cleaned twice a day, which was great.

United KingdomThere are not enough kitchen facilities for the size of the hostel, it’s not a nice place to cook with so many people. Also 2 sinks is not enough. However it wouldn’t put me off staying again as everything else was great!
Probably one of the best hostel vibes I’ve experienced. Great location, within walking distance to many attractions. The train station, light rail and buses are also close. I liked the various daily social activities the hostel provided and the free breakfast. The dining area is also a great way to meet people and is always lively. Bunk beds are quite big ( much bigger than standard) with curtains, charger and lamp.

AustraliaThe beds didn’t have numbers, so I had to choose a bed that was free. After a couple of nights the bed i had been sleeping in was taken by someone else because the cleaner changed the sheets thinking that no one was occupying that bed. My personal towel was thrown away by the cleaner too. I don’t blame the cleaners as I it’s not their fault but rather the owner’s of the hostel limited understanding of the confusion created by not having the beds assigned to the guests.
The room was clean and so were the toilets and showers. You have lockers in the room to keep your stuff safe.
