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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

Norwaythe practical side of things were not the best; in the bedrooms it was only a small locker for things, and not the best organized way to keep everything else, so people’s things were flotting a bit around. every movement of the person in the top bunk made the whole bed shake. we also had to choose between open windows and air through the night or curtains down to keep the sunlight out in the morning. these things are not to bad when you’re sleeping at a cheap hostel though, but the smell in the shower room was really not good, so that didnt feel to hygienic.
its a great deal for what you have to pay! they have really tried to make this into a cozy hostel, with some success! easy to hang around to get to know people there, in a calm part of the city, but walking distance to everything! the bedrooms were all right, not to crowded there or in the bathrooms. the kitchen was well fit for cooking, and they had a great system for using what people leave of food. check in was smooth!

The room was clean and there were some toiletries provided. The staff was friendly. A 10 minute walk to get to the city center.

United KingdomThe outdated sign on the front door ( always kept shut) giving "cCovid" reduced reception hours. I arrived earlier than official check in time - on a Sunday, believed the sign and wandered around for two hours until returning. The door was locked still - but reception was open and responded to the bell. Had the sign not confused matters I'd have been settled in 2 hrs earlier !!
it's described as "cosy" it's certainly not one of the mega commercial backpacker hostels. Given its size it's understandable it doesn't have a bar - but that didn't stop the world turning. Loved it. Felt like the sort of travellers hostel I remember -;but not on an old fashioned or dated way. Just in atmosphere. (@64 I'm not the youngest traveller - but it's place like this that keep you travelling and keep you feeling young
