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):
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.
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...).

CanadaThe private rooms are small so not a lot of room to maneuver. The bed was comfortable but not amazing. The bathroom shower was okay but not great and was shared with 2 other rooms. The coffee maker didn't work so well. The only doors that locked were the bedroom doors. The outside door and hallway door to the rooms were never locked.
The hostel is typical. It is clean and there are 3 private rooms in addition to the dorms. The kitchen is large and well stocked. The common sitting area is large with a fire place and comfortable chairs/couches. The location is great. There is an outdoor bonfire area and a bbq.

CanadaThe atmosphere of the place was super nice. It was well equipped. The wifi worked well. The common area has lots of tables, dishes, and a fireplace. It is in a good location for exploring Kananaskis and the Nordic spa. Also not too far (in Canadian terms) from Canmore or Banff.

United KingdomI sent an email about bike storage that went unanswered. And when I called the central number they were no help either saying I’d have to ask the manager. But I couldn’t call so that would need to be done in person. I needed an answer before we left. The WiFi being limited to a few hours but being told it’s to encourage engaging with others is a bit patronising if I’m honest. We’re not children, most are hard working adults. I get it, if it wasn’t there we’d cope. But truth is in this day and age it is available. We switch off on the trail.
I love the location and cost of a private room compared to other options. Fully stocked kitchen is a bonus as it allows us to eat what we want when we want.

GermanyBeds are a bit short for tall people, I (188cm) could not stretch my legs completely.
Wonderful location within unspoiled wilderness Well maintained hostel with clean and modern bathrooms, very spacious and generous public spaces and very friendly and helpful staff. Internet connection available during some hours in the evening (special service in very remote location) I have donated my bear spray to reception. It is absolutely recommended to carry it with you when hiking during bear season. Bring your own. If you travel by plane ask at reception to borrow my one, or buy it at the visitor information.
