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.).

GermanyHowever, the atmosphere was quite crowded, which led to some disturbances during the night. I was woken up twice in the middle of my sleep due to the noise and activity around the dormitory. While the bed was comfortable, the lack of tranquility affected the overall quality of my rest. Despite this inconvenience, the hotel's convenient location and comfortable accommodations still make it a viable option for those seeking easy access to transportation and a budget-friendly stay.
I recently stayed at this hotel and found the location to be extremely convenient, as it was situated near a bus stop, making transportation around the area hassle-free. The bed provided in the dormitory was comfortable, allowing for a good night's rest. However, it's worth noting that there was some noise at night, particularly on Saturday night. Nevertheless, considering the lively atmosphere on weekends, this was reasonable. Overall, I had a pleasant stay and would recommend this hotel to others, especially for its convenient location and comfortable accommodations.

ItalyThere needs to be at least some hooks to hang towels/jackets/bags, both in the rooms and in the showers!! Also it would be amazing if they added some curtains to the beds in the dormitory, or like some kind of partial covers
The staff was amazing, very kind and always available. I loved that we could use the fridge and plates and stuff from the kitchen. The kitchen was very clean and tidy The position of the hostel is very central, especially if you have a bike it's amazing Bathrooms were a bit old but also clean

IndiaOne of the mattresses was rather old. Some of the springs could be felt and the mattress visibly bent when my friend laid down on it. One of the doors on the corridor was making squeaky noises - needed some oil. We were told that a general overhaul was due and has been postponed…
All staff members were super friendly and helpful. The size of the room was good. Ambience of the common and outside area was nice. Location is great.

United StatesOne of the male staff members was really rude, and the bed gave me severe back pain. To be fair, I slept on it for about 2 weeks, and I don't think that kind of back pain would happen to most people. I'm a bit older than the average hostel user.
Almost every staff member was really nice, the facilities were always clean, the location was great, and they were overall very accommodating. I've stayed at one other hostel in Amsterdam, and this hostel was so much better.
