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.).

NetherlandsThe first night, a noisy group of teenagers was behind my wall. They were noisy till 2 am so I had to get up and ask them to go to the living room. The second night it was quiet. My room was a bit dusty around the bunk bed.
Great hostel for the price I paid. It is quite stylish and vibrant. The staff was very friendly and the breakfast was lovely. Good location - 20 min walk to the city centre. The bathroom was clean and always empty.

United StatesThe street parking is not the best. However, it is only €3 per day. In the 12-bed mixed room, the frames of the top beds squeak when getting into and out of the beds. If you are a deep sleeper and do not move when you sleep, you should be fine.
Very friendly staff. They gave great information on what to do in the city and the surrounding area (thank you, Alex and Matilda). Excellent breakfast for a hostel. The area with the campers is designed very well. The bar area and terrace are nice and relaxing. For a hostel, the access system inside the hostel is better than I expected. All the living areas require a key fob, which adds privacy and security. I would gladly stay here again the next time I visit 🙂

CanadaThe big room does offer some challenges unfortunately. Be prepared for people coming in late (between 10pm-2am) and possibly waking you up especially if you are a weak sleeper. Also if you are a early riser its best to have all your stuff ready as you don't want to be ruffling through your stuff while people are sleeping.. just upgrade it a more private unit so you have the flexibility to do what you need to.
breakfast was simple but solid and it was included! definitely worth upgrading to one of the units for more privacy and space but the big rooms are great if you are on a budget. Staff is always helpful with anything you need.

NetherlandsIt’s a bit far from the city center so you have to catch a bus or tram to go forth and back but it’s not a real big deal.
The hostel itself is super cool with creative decoration. It was really comfortable to stay a night there!

United KingdomWe absolutely loved this place, so much fun! The kids loved staying in Bikey, the bike themed van and the beds were really comfortable. Really clean showers and a delicious breakfast. The staff were so incredibly friendly and helped us with a map and directions! Opposite the river and only a 15 minute walk to the centre. Amazing value!

ItalyI spent two nights in the dorm, two more in a caravan. The dorm is a russian roulette in some way, but it's known. Make sure you use ear plugs, which are available for free. Ear plugs or not, guys, put your phones in silent mode for the sake of other people's sleep!!! Caravan is a completely different story!
The atmosphere is super friendly and relaxed; the staff is ready to help and promptly reply to messages in case of need. The place is ultra clean at any time! Breakfast is another added value: simple but with healthy products. Town centre is within walking distance, as well as the train station. Treat yourselves and choose a caravan: cozy, tiny and so 'stylish'. Highly recommended, especially when travelling on a budget!

SpainThere were a lot of mosquitoes at night and a mosquito repellant would have been ideal in the room.
Breakfast was basic - toast and muesli with coffee. The property was clean and well maintained. The beds were clean, comfy and well maintained. Lovely ambience overall. Our room was upgraded at check in so it was a bonus for us.

GreeceThe photos are UNTRUE!!!! Apart from the above which is at least ridiculous, of course they take advantage of you in everything, even for the little money you think you are giving for the minimum you can expect, from what they show you they can provide you. Breakfast just eat something to say that something was there. Cleanliness very very average. Toilet paper is the decoration of the toilet. You'll have quite a few mosquitoes drinking your blood for your trouble!!!! The rest, if you really want to, you can find out when you arrive and ask the spider families inside and outside the lodge, common areas and room. If it's raining and you're in the common room they don't spit on you, and inside it's raining towards the exit side, where there are places with chairs, a table, a corridor to the bathrooms!! The number 2 worst hostel I've ever stayed in!!! I told them thank you while leaving..
