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.).

Polandeverything was good
Breakfast, room cleaning every day (I stayed in a dorm), huge common spaces, friendly staff - I didn't party but I really liked that hostel was not dead - there were people around, also in the bar area - so in the evenings it wasn't very quiet but that is OK for me :)) so if you want a little of both - quiet and social - you can find it here :) also - very good wifi!

AustraliaThe bedroom dormitory was so hot, the beds were very comfortable but unfortunately the heat made it very difficult to sleep despite having the a fan on. (I was there 5 nights in may)
Friendly staff, great vibes, clean bathrooms and great clean kitchen. Lots of space outside to relax, work or socialise.

The bathrooms! Biggest shower space I have come across in guatemala. Very clean! Staff were awesome. It's a bit of a party hostel but dorms have curtains and are big enough that you don't notice people coming in and out. Overall great vibe, wish I could of stayed longer.

AustraliaThe tables outside could’ve used a wipe as it was very dusty.
The cleanest and cutest bathroom I have been in. I love how they have activities to help travellers socialise but they also end early enough for a good night’s rest. The staff are super nice as well and the location is perfect 👌

FranceOne small drawback: because of the garbage can, the toilets are small enough to sit comfortably.
Everything ! Enough space in the room . Hot shower with bench inside to bring all our belongings. Amazing breakfast with 3 different options. Wonderful staff, very friendly with good vibe. The outside area is good for relaxing. I would have loved to have stayed for the whole of my stay in antigua but unfortunately it was fully booked.

United KingdomOur room was very small for two people and our bags, and quite loud at the back of the building. We only had a small internal window in our room that went into the corridor but no curtain on it so in the night woke a lot with people turning on bathroom and other lights. We didn’t get told there were other toilets and showers so waited a lot for the one near our room until we found the others by accident.
Really well located and beautiful hostel. The breakfast is fantastic and the staff very friendly and helpful. Showers also are great- hot and strong.

AustraliaThe guy that had been working while I was staying there doing the early morning shifts was not friendly and couldn’t really care. Some of us had to leave for a hike and we all ordered right on 7am and our food was sitting in the kitchen ready to go still at 7:20 once I got up to check as he was in reception on his phone. He wasn’t friendly taking our orders either. Short responses.
Clean,good vibe, breaky.

Wow - what can I say about Maya Papaya, except that the staff made the experience for us. Hector was the friendliest and chattiest bar keep with an epic energy and really, really good margaritas with a big smile. He has been working there 6 years and loves the place and you can tell. We stayed in a private compact room and it was super clean and comfortable with great bedding and fast internet. The place has been really well thought out and has a games room and hammocks and the free breakfast is really delicious and filling. I honestly couldn’t fault the place - it was the best hostel either of us had stayed at because of the friendly staff and the general set up. They’ve nailed it. 10/10.

United KingdomIt's one of the best hostels I've been! The facilities are very modern, there is a lot of space to chill and socialise, but what makes it a great place is the people who work there (from the cleaners, the ladies who cook the delicious breakfast, to the reception/bar staff, all of them 10/10) Had such an amazing time! Will definitely be back :)
