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.).

RomaniaWe needed the earplugs cause there's a bar downstairs and if there are neighbors upstairs you can hear them as if in the room. Also, it was a bit annoying that we couldn't hang our clothes anywhere, there could easily be a hanger in the room.
It's very central, comfortable and had warm showers. We even got earplugs. Amd they had tea, coffee and you could wash your clothes for a cost. Plus the staff was really nice!

IrelandThe hostel is very very small. Just a tiny entrance and a few rooms. In the dorm, half of the people sleeping there were volunteering at the hostel, so it was almost impossible to meet new people.
Everything was fine, the bed was comfy, the shower was not great but worked well. You have 1 kg/day of free laundry, which is great. Very good location.

United KingdomNo hot water if you didn’t shower in the morning and the shower itself wasn’t the best. No window to the outside just to the hallway. Laundry is only free for 1 kg per day after that you have to pay $1 per kg.
Really good location - we could walk everywhere including the bus station (25 mins). Staff were nice and helped with our laundry.

United StatesLimited common room, no shared kitchen so this probably isn't the best hostel to meet other travelers. That being said, if your plan is to just rest a few days, see the city, and eat cheap tasty meals outside this is perfect.
Friendly staff, good wifi, 24/7 coffee and tea was nice, free laundry was great. Good location and they give you exterior door key so you can come and go as you like. Incredible value for the price.

The staff were very friendly and helpful with storing my bags, location is excellent, close to the centre and very close to lots of good places to eat. Laundry is free as well which is incredibly helpful! Tea, coffee and water is also available in the communal area

United StatesThe rooms are dark and dreary. No natural light, no fresh air. The mattress was borderline ok but the pillows were the worst.
Staff was very nice and helpful. Location is excellent. My room did not face the street so it was quiet. There is hot water but it takes a while. I thought it was amazing that they will do a load of laundry for you, free, although most of my socks disappeared but I still appreciated it I also appreciated the filtered water.

United Statesthe floor boards were very loud and I could hear the laundry machine outside my door very loudly all day. for me the shower was cold. the bed was also very low on the ground, so it hurt my neck to try and look up at the television. there was also no social vibe or area to meet people. These were minor things that do not take away from the great value of the hostel.
it’s a very good price and in an excellent location. Netflix on the TV was great as well. had laundry available for free.

United KingdomFurnishings are old so nothing ever felt super clean. Have to walk to the sister hostel to use kitchen facilities. No obvious or inviting area to socialise. Old building so not sound proof at all! No external windows so mould in bathrooms.
Staff are super helpful, warm and welcoming. Great value for the private room. Free washing of your clothes, although I think they could consider how to make this more environmentally friendly. E.g. encouraging friends to wash things together. Showers are warm although take a while to heat up.
