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.).

EcuadorThe beds we got didn´t have plugs so we couldn´t charge anything. The window was direct to a street and it was so noisy that it was impossible to sleep.
The staff is nice. We arrived a little earlier and they let us leave our bags in the hostel. There´s also coffee and tea for breakfast.

Czech RepublicDuring our stay, we encountered an unpleasant situation. Despite paying for three nights, our belongings were removed from our beds by the cleaner on the first night, leading to others taking our spots. When we raised the issue with the staff, they dismissed it as typical for hostels. However, this highlights a service problem – why were our items taken? There's a clear need for a system to mark occupied spaces, and the service was rude, earning it a maximum dislike (except for Timmy, if I recall his name correctly). Also, we weren't informed to bring our own locks to secure our belongings. Additionally, we were informed that only cash payment was accepted upon arrival, which was not mentioned during the booking process.

FranceThe 12 bed dorm I was in had bunk beds on 3 levels which makes it a bit dangerous. Beds were really tiny. 1 bathroom for the 12 people which makes the waiting time quite annoying sometimes. Not the cleanest but not too bad either People in this hostel had no respect. Coming back in the middle of the night and talking loudly, talking on the phone in their beds until midnight and from 8am in the morning (not the hostel fault but I guess that's what you get when you go to a "cheap" place so be aware of that.
The location is excellent considering the price you pay (for Amsterdam of course because that's still expensive on my standards) The staff was really nice

United KingdomThe place itself was very basic, outside could be quite loud (i appreciate this isnt in control of the hostel), the shower water got everywhere in the shower and it wasnt all that comfortable but you more or less get what you pay for. I probably would avoid staying here if on my own.
The staff were friendly and overall the place was situated very nicely and near enough to the centre.

FinlandYour stay has to be paid with cash and an additional payment for the room key deposit, which was not mentioned beforehand. Rooms did not have lockers to store belongings safely, but you could leave any valuables behind the front desk (where a member of staff will be around the clock). Also no curtains on beds for privacy, but the pictures make that clear anyway. There was also only one bathroom for the entire room to share, which meant having to wait for your turn quite often.
The location made it all worth it! Right in the centre of the city with easy access to everything you could want.

NetherlandsA lot of street people, dirty, smelling, pretty creepy guys roaming arround in the hostel, from room to room, there no lockers where you can keep anything safe, if you complain about the smell, they help with nothing.. if you WORK in Amsterdam, you.re NOT welkomed in this hostel; if you collect bottles from trash to pay a night tho, you.re welkomed. :)) n Joy.
Bathroom inside room, no need to worry if you forget your key over night if you want to use the toilet.

GermanyCleanliness was the major problem, room was smelling bad all the time, Beds were not making any sound that was really great but mattress were not comfortable. The second thing was people were coming at mid of night not talking about the people who already checked in the new comers and that disturb the whole room as they have to settle down but that is a plus point if you arrive late to Amsterdam you can check in at anytime as the one person is always there on the counter to accommodate.
The location was very wonderful everything from tourist prespective was very close.
