Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomBathrooms needed some cleaning (i.e. hair in the shower sinks). The location was central but very noisy at night, there were many people screaming on the street. I felt a bit unsafe to go out after sunset, as there were many druggies at the corner of the hostel.
The staff was nice and welcoming. The kitchen was well equipped and they had plenty of options to prepare breakfast. Room was nice and beds comfortable. The market and supermarket are just around the corner.

GermanySome kind of shelf board for the top bunks would be amazing, so you could store the necessary close (e.g. glasses or phone) without fearing it'll fall down and hit the lower bunk. Also, a shower mat in the showers would be helpful.
It's clean and organised and the staff is super friendly and helpful! Also, I even got a bed in a 4-bed dorm albeit having booked for a 6-bed.

UkraineSnoring people in the room(((, but if you pay more and choose your private room, you will be totally fine. The washroom was without freshair, and bed sheets were not clear properly.
I loved the atmosphere of the hostel. Staff is very friendly and helpful, and I so much enjoyed free karaoke, wine night, and party with our guaid. I didn't use any bus to go for tours which i had been alradu planned. Everything is heat this place. I will definitely be back yo this hostel. I totally recommend this place , especially who is going as a solo;).

SwedenThere is only one (1) micro in the kitchen which is very little for so many guests. The guests need to hand wash their dishes which is very good. But it is impossible to get them clean especially if you used oil on your food, as there are only cold water. Physical laws says you need warm water to fully remove grease.
The atmosphere is very nice. The cleaning staff makes a very good job. The staff in the reception are very friendly and service minded. A lot of common areas exists, so you have plenty of space to sit and chat with other guests. The breakfast is good. I like that there are free dinner some nights, etc. The kitchen area is nice, but there are improvements that can be made. (See answer on my next question)

United KingdomI found it quite noisy not just from my roommates but from outside at night. my room was by an alleyway and there was constant noise. Not the Green Tortoises fault however there is a huge drug abuse problem in downtown Seattle which as a visitor from Europe I found quite shocking. Lots of low level crime associated with drug abuse.
Staff were great, especially Tony! Location is a very good, 20 min walk to King Street Train station. and several car rental places within a 10 min walk in case you wish to rent a car to go further afield.
