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.).

IsraelForced to pay 23% extra for bed linen even though it was included in the price according to the booking.com app. Threatened mafia-style by receptionist to be thrown to the street if I don't pay the linen extra costs. Common showers (for men and women together...) have partially-transparent walls without a door or lock - extremely inappropriate. There's only one toilet for the whole floor. Shower and toilet are not inside the room like stated in the app. Very dirty and dusty - looks like the place hasn't been cleaned for a couple of months.

Czech RepublicThey didn't reply to my questions. When you find the place, there is no instruction how to actually get accommodated. The phone here rings the reception (there was no one). With the help of some people I got the number of the owner, who gave me the number of the receptionist. So after 15 minutes, she finally came from her room (she had to hear me all the time, so I have no idea why it took her so much time) It was the rudest person working in a hostel I've ever met. To all my questions, she just laughed at. Didn't offer me the discount for the museums, didn't have any recommendations for food or anything else. You have to pay for linens and towel. There is so much random stuff in the common area, but literally no lockers for your personal belongings. There is no hostel vibe whatsoever. I wouldn't recommend staying here if you are not on extremely tight budget.
The showers and toilet were clean. Supermarket is nearby.

SpainThe location is not great unless you have a car. You can go to San Marino center by bus (which runs every 1h or so) or with the cable car. There is only one bathroom for all rooms. The atmosphere was not that of a hostel with young travelers, most of the guests were not tourists but actually worked and lived there. I would NOT recommend it for solo travelers.
There is a restaurant run by the hostel owners which has cheap food. The bus station is right at the door of the hostel.

RussiaNothing to complain about, just keep in mind that it is the very good Hostel with private rooms available, not a five-star Hotel :)
It is a right choice if you want to spend some nights in San-Marino, however you are on the some budget constraints. The property is located a bit downhill from the main attractions, so some walking or use of public transport (the bus stand is only in a few steps from it) is required but there is undisputable win in price/value category. In my case I booked the private room for very reasonable price, it was sparkling clean with comfy bed. It is possible to use all Hostel facilities as the shared kitchen, public spaces, etc. (even until the evening after the check-out). The big supermarket is located just in few meters from the Hostel. Check-in was smooth, the staff members are very polite and willing to help.

North Macedonia- We were charged extra for bed linens. - The hostel is not clean and it's filled with random weird stuff and clutter (like old toys...) in the common room, reception etc. - we did not have any storage in the 8 bed room - not even a simple locker or a night stand to secure your belongings - we had a bathroom in the room, but the shower didn't work - You need to walk a lot if you want to reach the old town
-The bus stop is really close to the hostel (if you are traveling by bus from Rimini, you can reach the hostel very easily)

RomaniaIt's a big a spacious hostel, close to the bus stop for the Rimini line. Communication with the staff was good and the hostel did not get full, so it was great for resting. The kitchen is really great, fully equiped and spacious. Wifi worked well. There is a supermarket right next to the hostel. Staff is friendly too. I also liked the eco friendly showers (low flow and manual).

NetherlandsBEDBUGS, one shower and one toilet for all 30 dorms. It is not near the historical center. Very dirty and bedbugs. There were a couple reviews about bedbugs but I thought they’d have cleaned everything after the revieuws. They did not, the bedbugs are everywhere, it’s horrible. I have to fly home now (in the middle of my 3 month trip) to get rid of it all. :((

Czech RepublicDoublebed room was with many bunks, so the room was quite big, but full of beds. We had prive bathroom which is not worth it. Shower is right over the toilet, hot water did not run neither in the evening or night nor in the morning. Window is high so you cannot see outside. Receptionist do not speak english, but they offer you card with discount to the city center.

United KingdomThe showers were just two showers in a single room, so it had no privacy at all. There was also a water pressure issue so rather than a shower it was more like a steady dribble of lukewarm water that was difficult to was in. The toilet, and yes there was only the one, had no seat on it so you have to sit on the ceramic which is an uncomfortable experience. The room was unclean, with dust on the floor so when you put your bag under the bed it would be covered by the next morning. The beds were also very low for the top bunk so I could barely sit up in my bed, and I'm quite a short man. There wasn't a resident common room as far as I'm aware and the outdoor seating area was covered in cigarette ash and ends. I had three nights booked but after one I went to a hotel instead.
It was above a restaurant, so there is cheap and easy food and drink available. The toilet and lobby were cleaned frequently. The staff give you a discount card for the museums and attractions which also works in some restaurants which is great.

ItalyThe facilities are really bad. Also, it is very far from the center and there was no continuous walkable path from the hostel to the center. I also had to pay an additional 3 euro for the bed linen. There was only one bathroom and toilet for all the guests.
The staff did provide helpful information on how to go around San Marino.

Switzerlandthe only way to get to san marino city is by bus. it’s not possible to walk so you have to rely on the bus which is very irregular and on sundays only leaves a couple of times a day. it’s very inconvenient. the place is a bit rundown and the showers aren’t good. there are no power outlets in the room, so you can’t charge your phone. the wifi in the room also didn’t work. also keep in mind that you have to pay 3€ for bedding if you don’t bring your own.
friendly staff, nice view from the common area, cheapest option in san marino

Czech RepublicNice hostel at a very good location (just few meters from a stop of the Rimini - San Marino bus and from a supermarket), close from Città di San Marino. Downstairs in the structure there is a pub/restaurant where you can get a beer or dinner for a very good price. In the hostel, there is a big, spacious and bright room with kitchen and some tables to sit around.
