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.).

IndiaThis place made me feel home away from home. I am super happy with everything and I don’t have a single complaint. Mr (Akmal) is a great manager. He always made sure that house is clean and enforced proper rules for all hostels are followed. Under his management this place is bound to grow. I also want to mention that Mr Harry and Miss Nafeesa are the best housekeepers. They prepared such mouthwatering food and kept our bed tidy and clean. They both are gems and I will definitely return and stay. This place will be my always go to place in Dubai whenever it comes to accommodation

GermanyThere is only one shower for three dorms, but we never waited more than 5 minutes. If you arrive by car, beware that there is always a traffic jam.
The staff was AMAZING. They were more than friendly and helped us with everything. The rooms were clean and comfortable. But the best thing about the hostel is the location, it’s right in the center of marina, you can walk to the beach in 3 minutes and there are a lot of restaurants and activities around you. But since it’s in the 32nd floor you can’t hear a thing when you sleep. The staff is also very consistent with its rules, so nobody is allowed to chat loudly in the common area or dry their hair and do other loud stuff so that everybody can get some sleep. I would definitely come again!

IndiaOverall it was good! No complains!
My stay at Alphatel Hostel in Dubai was exceptional. The manager, Akmal, set the tone with his warm hospitality, allowing me an early check-in to accommodate my early morning arrival. His polite and helpful nature made me feel welcomed from the start. Throughout my stay, I was impressed by the dedication of the supporting staff, Harry and Nafisa. They maintained the hostel impeccably clean and tidy, ensuring a comfortable environment for all guests. Overall, Alphatel Hostel exceeded my expectations with its outstanding service and attention to detail. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy and welcoming stay in Dubai.
