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 StatesOnly two power outlets in the shared dorms, and one is by the sinks, so not everyone can charge the phone at night. Also, no private toilet for women on the bottom floor (only mixed and a private mens toilet).

IrelandThe hostel is a 25-30 mins walk from old town/station, expect hilly climbs or steps, the "short cut" way to reach the hostel through residential area is steep. The pillow needs updating, wifi is only available in the main hall & in the library, for some reason the shower in our room stinks like urine.
I liked the style of the bed (even though I bumped my head) because even if it doesn't have curtains it still gives a little privacy. I particularly like the coffee machine at breakfast because it gives variety of options, there's also one accessible 24/7 in the main hall where you have to put money in.

PortugalThe bathrooms could improve. The toilets are separated from the showers and there's no sink in the toilet room, so after you've "done your thing" you have to walk back to your room or somewhere else to wash your hands. The shower itself is just acceptable, I don't like the fact you have to keep pushing a button to have some water and also doesn't have temperature regulation (but it is warm so is comfortable and okay).
Cozy and nice hostel, I like the fact it's near a forest. You can have breakfast with a nice view of the mountains and the lake, but the breakfast provided by the hostel is not very good so I'd suggest you make your own at the kitchen. The hostel is clean and has good infrastructure, the staff is pretty friendly as well. A good place to stay, would come back.

IrelandThe room was a little cramped.
Though not in the immediate centre of the city, I found the hostel to be in a lovely quiet area with great views east over the lake and to the mountains rising above, from where I could watch hot air balloons drift across high above the lake, as the sun also began to appear. The kitchen cooking facilities were very good as was breakfast. The staff were friendly and helpful. The four-bed dormitory, which had an ensuite, felt a little cramped but the beds were comfy and everything was tidy and clean. I would have no hesitation in staying in this hostel if I am again in Annecy.

United KingdomRoom wasn't was I expected, four beds with very small lockers, barely enough space for a small backpack. You just need to trust other roommates if you have more stuff as there is not storage space. Bathroom was inside the room, awkward to use it, two sinks inside the room but loo was on a separate area, shared from everyone. As a hostel, it was quite basic but totally worth the price of it in that expensive area.
Good location, quite hard to go on foot though as it's on the mountain. Nice, basic breakfast, nothing too fancy. Nice stuff and very helpful.

United KingdomThe pillows were not great and need changing, there is no air conditioning in the rooms so can get quite hot especially with other people there. No sinks in the toilets and no soap in the rooms (where the sinks are). Showers are fixed to the wall and only have one temperature setting. (These are only minor details though, which didn't have much effect on our trip). Wifi did not work in room.
Great location with a fantastic view, lovely people and facilities. Comfortable beds, lounging areas and round the clock security. Really good value for money especially in such a pricey place like Annecy. Recommend this place.
