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.).

LithuaniaThe elevator and the halls leading up to the accommodation were a bit smelly and outdated, but those are not hostel property and didn't affect our overall stay.
Perfect location, great value for money. Common area (kitchen, hangout space, bathrooms) is well-kept, clean and had everything you might need for a short stay. Instructions to access the accommodation were provided super efficiently and all questions were answered instantly. You could also adjust the heaters which came in handy on a cold night. Great option for a couple of nights.

SpainThe rooms do not have a good noise isolation. But this was not a problem during my stay, because the atmosphere was very silence and all the guests were very polite.
It is extremelly clean, and the furniture is very new. I really like that you can take some tea and fruit for free. It is also very well located.

United KingdomFinding the hostel is a little bit complicated and you get sent a guide on how to get to the hostel by the receptionist so make sure to look at that when you get to Riga.
This is a very nice hostel in a great location. The staff members are friendly and the rooms are spacious and the beds are cosy.

GermanyIf you're sensitive to noise, the mixed 8-share shouldn't be your choice. More seats/bigger table in the kitchen would be great or a separate work area, so people don't have to use the kitchen for that Individual bed lights would be great

FinlandComplicated to get keys, alot of people were lost, my rooms socket did not properly work as in, could not charge anything, windows leak heat to the point it sounds like 24/7 air flower, i checked it, its the window, i was freezing badly, shower rooms are smaller than toilet rooms, which i find odd since toilet is smaller than shower, also since there is common kitchen, stove/oven, fridge, sink etc, expect people to be nasty.
Room was clean n simple as shown in pictures, enough showers n bathrooms for everyone to use, fully usable equipped kitchen.

LithuaniaThe shower drained slow, so it flooded the floor. And since the shower room was too small for a shelf or chair, my toiletry case had to sit on the floor and was soaked in water from the flooded shower. That was really the only thing that was bad. Everything else about my visit was very good.
My room was large with a comfortable bed and nice window. It was quiet and other guests were kind. The kitchen and sitting space was small but had everything I needed. It was close to the bus stop for the airport which was perfect for an early flight.
