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.).

Very nice, simple hostel and very centrally located. The dorms were nice and comfy and the bathrooms were never crowded. The comforters were extremely warm as well.

UkraineIt's open windows in the toilets and bathrooms, that is not good after hot shower. Easy get sick. It blows from the windows because there are a lot of cracks there. Good that I found how turn on heating, otherwise in the room was freezing. Not enough toilets and showers on the floor. My towel was not changed during 6 days. I know, it's possible to ask after 3 days, but they should do it without asking. I was too tired to search them and ask about it.
The location is perfect, right the city centre. Check in online with code, that was super nice, because I arrived at 1am. Warm inside, you can control heating in the room. Bed was soft, I slept like a baby. The kitchen is full of stuff to cook, so it was perfect. In general, people in the hostel are very nice, at 11pm is silence, so you can take a rest without any problems. No parties, no strangers. Perfect!

IcelandThe weather, but ok if you prepare yourself beforehand or go to one of the local shops and buy some warm cloth if you don’t have any with you. The weather in Iceland can change quickly from warm and sunny to rainy and cold.
Everything, the location, the bed, the room the kitchen the price of the drinks and the staff and so many places nearby like the church, supermarket, Apotek, restorant’s and so many things to see.

United StatesSome mornings you’ll have to fight for the bathroom. Lots of people, few bathrooms. The heat is cranked up so rooms are really hot, even in Icelandic winter.
Very clean and spacious room. Great price for such a convenient location. Common space are huge, kitchen amenities are great too. Seems like a great place to stay with a big group of friends.

United StatesOne thing that was frustrating was that although nearly never half full, guests were not allowed to sit in the entry lounge without paying.
I really enjoyed the location, price for value, and security. The staff was friendly, and they stored luggage for free, which was very nice. I also liked the common rooms and areas that were available to eat, chill, or work.
