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.).

Australia- the five showers together like in a movie (this is not something I’m used to); however, there were single showers available as well.
- location - if coming from the airport, the stop is directly outside. I was also able to catch a bus to the Sky Lagoon from out the front. - amenities - bar, kitchens, laundry, luggage storage, barber (?), lounges to chill in - everything you need - rooms - comfortable beds, plenty of storage for bags and suitcases fit beneath the bed (even larger ones) - food at the bar (pizza) was good

NetherlandsThere’s a club beneath the hostel that’s not mentioned anywhere. One night the music was so loud, everything in my room was shaking. Earplugs couldn’t stand up to it. And there are way to many parties/DJ’s at night in the restaurant of the hostel. So there’s no room for getting to know other travelers there, for talking of playing games.
Nice location, rooms were fine and the facilities were clean. Breakfast and diner were above expectation. Restaurant and sitting area is cosy, but not in the evenings.

United StatesThe only thing I didn't like was the communal shower room. I was shocked to find that they had a communal shower for women where there is no privacy, and everyone has to shower in the same area. Thankfully, I came late night so there was no one there. However, I don't think adult women would want to shower in front of other women. You could take a survey of all the women who come at the (Hostel) to see if they were in favor of this communal shower room. I think they can put up some curtains around each shower head so there is some privacy.
location is great. You can walk to main areas. supermarkets close by. staff helpful. i've stayed here before. have lockers but i couldnt find any empty for me. have curtains, bed light. plenty space to keep luggage. a desk present too and can hang coats on wall hooks. Big kitchen.

United StatesThe common room area was closed for awhile while I was waiting late for a bus which was a bit difficult. Rooms were overall good, shower space dripped a bit but were clean.
The common area and rooms were pretty good all around. Location was excellent very walkable and the bus system was understandable after digging into it.
