Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Guest kitchen was not clean and they were clearly very focused on getting you to eat the breakfast provided by them there but I didn't have the budget for that.
I've stayed at an A&O hostel before, they appear to all be pretty similar. The dorm rooms feel like a room that they have just marketed as a dorm. Has every thing you would need but the focus is definitely more on private rooms. I would stay again because of convenience to train station and you know what you are getting

Quite noisy during the night, as there are always people moving around, somehow the noise of closing doors is a constant phenomenon. Also, we had bad luck trying to have breakfast at the same time as a major group, so the place was quite crowded.
Excellent location, very easy to reach from the airport by train. The staff is kind, checkin is easy. The rooms are very clean.

The location itself doesnt have much happening around it, but I appreciate that there were many signs directing guests to the entrance, and public transport readily available.
One of the nicer hostels I've stayed in. I was nicely surprised by the size of the rooms, and that they not only had private shower and bathrooms per room, but that they also had non-bunk beds (subject to availability)

if you have to take a morning train from Vienna Hauptbahnhof this place is very good for it. only 5 minutes to the station.

The hallways were a bit of a maze.
The room was good. It was tidy (apart from the towel rack in the bathroom) and had everything that was necessary and nothing else. Check-in and check-out were convenient and the staff professional and about as friendly or friendlier as customer service in Vienna generally is. If all you need is a private place to sleep, shower and watch an episode of Netflix, this a good place. The location is conveniently close to the Hauptbahnhof.

The kitchen was very messy (not sure was it because of the guests or staff fault) . There were no lockers for stuff in the bedroom. It seems like they were a bit understaffed as there was always a queue at the reception desk. Also the bedsheets are not provided, keep that in mind.
The staff were very helpful and friendly, there was a storage for suitcases and the hostel was very close to the train station and Belvedere palace.
