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.).

EstoniaI couldn't charge my laptop on the station above my bed, because the US adapter was too big to fit inbetween. Didn't learn until the day of departure that there was also a kitchen (didn't get an overview which facilities are where in the hostel). Lots of kids who make noise and can in general be very excited about being in NY, it seemed. It all depends on with whom you're sharing the room which is a lottery and hostel cannot do anything about it.
In general, a very decent place to stay. Excellent location, clean facilities, good wifi connection. Curtain to separate beds was much appreciated.

FinlandThe beds could have been sturdier as every time someone would walk past my bed, it would shake and wake me up. The same happened when the person sleeping under me was switching sides - very frustrating. The elevator was very slow. The rooms should've had more outlets! I stayed in room 331 and it was extremely frustrating that the beds did not have individual outlets!
The facilities were clean, the cafe downstairs was very convenient and the overall atmosphere was great! Events and tours were a nice extra.

ChileThe refrigerator was full of left behind food from guests. Full of "free food" which occupied a lot of space and sometimes some food were rotten, which turned out disgusting. The refrigerator should be cleaned by the housekeeping once a week at least. But in general it was a great great Hostel, with lots of activities, comfortable beds, nice workers, nice housekeepers, and very clean.
The hosts were very kind and all the spaces were comfortable and spacious, they offered lots of nice and fun activities.

BrazilSome rooms didn’t have curtains and the shower was cold or you takes a lot of time to heat the water. So you need to use your towel to have privacy in the room and to take a cold showers. Also, there was a lot of noise in other rooms during the night.
I like the room in general and the staff was great
