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.).

RussiaWell I was surprised to notice that the term hostel does not describe this place properly, the guest are mainly Russian nationals who live there like their home and are not visiting guests. I asked a couple of them and they are there for 2 years! This does raise problems for foreigners who stay there short term. The residents are of middle class, taxi drivers, to be acyors, delivery people, waiters etc....and alcohol although officially "prohibited" is a huge problem. I noticed a German guest got into a fight with a resident who had apptoached him and bothered him, while drunk. He quickly after checked out. These issues are frequent and thd staff cant do anything about it! They can change how people act! The hostel staff were so authoritative and rude. Even to me that is a foreign national. The general comfort of the beds and rooms was also questionable. The metal bunk beds were old and sqeeky. People often vape and evrn consume foods within the rooms, on their beds, so expect the rustling sound of chrispy chips or the smell of pizza being eaten at 4 o'clock in the morning! That annoyed me so much. In overall the place is a dormitory for middle class workers and not a hostel welcoming international tourists.
The location is very close to the centre, about half a kilometer from the kremlin and the red square. Located on close to shopping centres, multiple restaurants and night life hubs. The overal intrim design is beautiful, bedsheets are replaced regularly.

RussiaThe bunk beds are old and rusty, therefore they screech often. This is a cause for headache if you have trouble sleeping. Almost all the locals who stay there are living there permanently. 2 years is a norm. That is why this is practically not a hostel but a dormitory. Although consumption of alcoholic beverages is de facto forbidden, every one does it. This causes extremely goofy and noisy nights, occational fights during weekend. Russians who live there are not generally travellers and reside there permanently, so they know each other often and get together,drink and get loud whenever they could. I noticed the guests freely smoke electric cigarettes and vape in the rooms and ignore requests to stop smoking. I have asthma so that caused me to change my room twice. The staff are impolite and aggressive. Its noticable that their behaviour is veey fifferent from what a tourist expects from hotel staff. Imagine an angry snd authoritative land lord. The appliance in the kitchen is problematic. One of the refrigrators does not work properly and food goes bad in it fast. The jugs and frying pans are not clean amd there are scratches worh remnamts of burnt food and fat on thdm. This is very unhealthy and I was ridiculed and rudely laughed at as I mentioned it to the staff.
The place is clean and the decoration and interior design is modern, the location is 20 min. walk from main tourist attractions in moscow. There are good and price worthy supermarkets around. Subway stations are less than 500 meters away. The overall interior is good. Beds are well separated from eachother and this calls for an acceptable level of privacy.
