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.).

The 2-bed Private room was clean and spacious. The staff were very kind and accommodating. We arrived around 3am and had trouble getting the elevator to work - Hostel is on the 10th floor of the building. The front desk staff came down immediately to help. The appearance of the elevator is somewhat off-putting, but it worked for the rest of our stay. The breakfast was very good quality and we enjoyed the rooftop sitting area. The location is within easy walking distance of many attractions and restaurants. Lastly, I am a light sleeper and it was high above all the beeping from cars below. Still would be earplugs, though. Highly recommend a stay at this hostel!

United StatesI'm just not a fan of shared bathrooms anywhere 😅
Decent hostel with nice views in a great location. However, what sets this place apart is their staff. A group of the coolest guys worked during my stay. They made the place feel like home and helped out with all my concerns (I had a lot!). I am not really a fan of hostels and have never stayed in one so cheap. So I was surprised when this place far exceeded my expectations. Even the wonky elevator felt perfectly safe once I figured it out. The layout and 24/7 atmosphere was highly conducive to meeting a lot of great people. Even so, I was also able to rest well in a quiet room next to the main lobby. There was a hot water heater in each of the showers so even for a late riser like me there was always enough. The dorm beds had privacy curtains that actually covered the whole bed and provided much needed darkness for my sleep in mornings. There are a few different places to relax and eat with shockingly comfortable furniture. But again the staff really made the place welcoming. They were always smiling and striking up conversations with guests and some speak several languages. They were very familiar with the city and gave excellent advice about what to do and the best way to do it. I did take 1 tour from them and had an amazing time. I was initially really bummed about the price, but it was actually worth it compared to other tours I've taken elsewhere. My driver, Osama, was so sweet and safe. My guide, Haidy, was so smart and knowledgeable about everything related to ancient Egypt. I was impressed with her depth of knowledge and excitement about the subject. She gives tours everyday, but she had the enthusiasm of a newbie. I would definitely return to Cairo and stay here for the good times. I doubt I'd have had the same feeling had I stayed in a hotel or private room. 10/10 highly recommend

CanadaThe entrance of the building is a little darker maybe adding an extra light would help. But I have to say when you go to the 10 floor is another world, you feel really well, confortable and save.
The people who works in this hostel are really helpful, they are always there to answer any question you could have and they will do any they can to answer your needs. I have to say they are really nices. Always smiling and positives. Thank u again.

CanadaWe had arranged airport pick-up and they were a no show. I messaged the hostel and after 15 min we grabbed a cab (at the same price the hotel had quoted). I was annoyed when we got there and were asked for an explanation - apparently they were relying on some website and not the time i had told them. So perhaps skip the airport pick up.
Funky place. We had the studio apartment which was lovely - well set up and a real treat to be able to unwind (really very quiet in the unit). Unfortunately the balcony is tiny so sitting out there is really not an option. The breakfast was fantastic and the staff unfailingly kind and helpful. As others have noted it is a bit tricky to find - the top two floors of a multi-use building so that can be a challenge the first time.
