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...).

The hostel, like most in Bundaberg, caters primarily for workers, so doesn't have much of a backpacker / traveller atmosphere
The hostel is in a good location, 10 minutes walk from the train and bus stations, as well as lots of local shopping. It is essentially a house with a few rooms and 2 shower toilets, everything is neatly organised. The kitchen was pretty well equipped. The room was clean and the bunk beds are essentially a walk in cubby, with partial privacy curtains and lots of storage space, although not a lot of it lockable. The WiFi signal was strong throughout. Showers and toilets were kept reasonably clean, and water pressure was excellent.

We have not seen one staff member, even with arriving before 5:30pm, no one was there. We can hear everything from the bedroom, the isolation is not good.
The rooms are really comfortable, especially with the curtain for privacy.

Kitchen is a bit messy, but didn’t use it, so it was fine.
The room was pretty big, just 2 beds, and tidy and the self check in / check out was really convenient. Just 5 min walking from the bus stop, so it's really good.

On the evening of my arrival, the bathroom and kitchen were quite dirty. But I think that's mainly because people just left their dirt behind, as the next day was cleaned and everything was clean afterwards. The room was very clean.
I stayed in a two-bed room, which I found very charming. I loved the communal vibe in the hostel, the uncomplicated organization and the friendly staff. Washing machine, dryer and detergent can be used free of charge.

The mattress was extremely uncomfortable and the facilities weren’t the cleanest but overall okay.
The staff here are lovely and the facilities are decent. It’s nice to have blinds on the bed for extra privacy and the long-term people are really nice. Good location to Greyhound bus stop and shops.

Our room had a large window with no curtains leading into the kitchen so it was very bright in there if the lights outside were on. There was also a huge gap above every door which was essentially a hole in the wall leading into the communal space. Our door faced the kitchen meaning that if anyone was in the kitchen, it sounded like they were in the room with us. No noise muffling at all! So it can get noisy and light in the rooms, not great for a sound sleep.
Bunk was comfortable. Had a privacy curtain and sockets by the bed. Plenty of space around the top bunk for belongings which I don’t always find at hostels. Staff were quick at communicating via booking.com messages.

A lot of mess in the 12 bed mixed dorm, most people where long term so it wasn’t a very social vibe- I would recommend staying in the smaller rooms as they seem to be more for the short term stays. One of the kitchens was also always a mess
The bunks each had plugs light and curtains for privacy almost felt like your own room. Bathroom were nice when clean. We did manage to meet some nice people and explore bundaberg
