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...).

SwedenThere are few restrooms which is especially notable in the morning. The upper bed in bunk bed was a little difficult to get out from. A minor thing, provide a toilet brush so the guest can clean if he has done a mess with number two. That will make it nicer for the next guest
This is an excellent hostel. The environment is very good. I really enjoyed the breakfast and that there were both coffee and tea during the whole day. The kitchen is well equipped, the only thing that lacks is a proper owen (there are two micro). The storage box under the bed is excellent.

BrazilThe room I stayed was too small for 6 beds, so If 2 of 6 girls were with the bags open, it would be difficult to walk in the bedroom. No shelfs and no locker for big bags, just small ones. Could have a curtain around the bed to give privacy and protect from light. Not all, but part of staff not very friendly. Also, I was working from my computer and couldn’t find a place outside my bedroom that was warm and slightly quiet.
Super clean, organized and I felt safe there . Super close to the beach and close to a target, another great grocery store almost in front and a great sushi near!

United KingdomIn general the place could do with some cosmetic touch ups, especially in the bathrooms but kept fairly clean. Also my dorm had a strange smell (almost like garlic) but I think it was because my dorm window backed onto a restaurant nearby so not really the hotel's fault.
Great friendly staff that helped me when I was sick. Gave great recommendations and reception staffed 24 hours a day. Access only to guests with a key card but stored my luggage and let me use the shower in the afternoon before heading off to my next stop. Great location for the bus services and the beach. Nice area for socialising and chilling. Vending machine with drinks and essentials eg Toothbrush and paste etc which was a nice touch. The breakfast was also decent once I figured out where everything was, but kitchen was a bit cramped when I was busy.

PortugalI generally enjoyed everything. Maybe the only thing that I missed was nicer common areas indoors since it rained for some of the days I was there and the indoor areas weren't very cozy.
The location was great, 3 min walk to the beach. The common areas and general vibe was also awesome, definetely what made the hostel so special.

New ZealandThe area is a bit out of the way but it’s definitely one of the best spots in San Diego so it’s worth it!
The beds were comfortable and the facilities were clean. Staff were very helpful and everyone staying there was friendly - it was easy to meet people as a solo traveller.
