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...).

It is exactly a cage where you enter directly into the circus of racism. The gentlemen travelers from France are in charge of giving the orders and making dances for them... the reception takes money from your card without prior notice...or claiming not to be a good traveler... horrible stay. only three bathrooms for more than 59 people (men in my case)

Chocking unprofessional staff. After 6 years travelling i’ve seen some funny stuff in some hostels but nothing at this level in terms of feeling welcome. It’s sad because the place has a real potential. Not even allowed to leave something very valuable at the reception after begging them. Same the next morning. They told me to leave this bag in the middle of the common area near a plant as i’ve been told because they were open and they was a camera straight on it so nothing could happen. When I came back an hour later the reception was closed, no cameras, and nobody looking after it. I’ve also never been explain where were the common areas or just the toilets. When I finally could check in, it was no bed sheet and nothing. Too busy to smoke joins on the back area talking about their last party instead of setting up a bed. But their first words without any good morning the next day was “did you put your bed sheets where they have to be otherwise i don’t refund you the deposit (which i think I’ve never got it back but i didn’t check) So very nice place but chocking staff. And forget about the deposit you give it to them and don’t expect any friendly vibes until you smoke joins with the staff. That’s it
Nice place with everything you would need and pretty big area with a potential.

Excellent atmosphere. Finally a hostel in australia that feels like home. Lots of long term guests so it really feels like a big shared house. Cleaned everyday. Beds are comfy and people are usually respectful of others sleeping, even in the 28 beds dorm! Big kitchen and lots of shared spices and ingredients. Lots of chilling areas that go from quiet if you need to work on your laptop or rest, to more social if you want to easily make friends.

The rooms are cramped, and fairly unclean. I swapped rooms halfway through and in my first room there were old socks/used bottles/random bits of paper under the bed that hadn’t been cleaned out properly from previous people. Other hostels that I have stayed all over Australia have staff that clean the rooms once a day but the 4 nights I was in room number 1, I never saw a cleaner once. In my second room there was a cleaner just the once in the 3 nights I was in there. Wouldn’t recommend to go there as a place to meet people, it’s a working hostel but does not state that it is. It would be okay for 1-2 nights while stopping over in Perth but no longer than that. Things seemed to get better when the manager turned up and the people that worked there were actually cleaning the hostel, but before that you wouldn’t know who the staff actually were.
Good location, close to the train station and bus port to move around Perth freely and cheaply. They had a free shelf to take things from which was handy if you needed additional bits of food to make a full meal in the kitchen.
