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.).

CanadaThis was by far and away one of the best and most social hostels I've ever had the pleasure of staying in across 50+ countries. Not only did the superb staff exceed my expectations for a Canadian Hostel, they met and exceeded them for anywhere.

CanadaThere was an issue with my wrist band key connecting at check in, it quickly sorted though And it was a bit difficult to find at first as there is only a small sign
-Great decor/setup, clean, and spacious -Friendly staff -Great activities nightly/ things to do during the day -Good location, central and around both the train, a mall, grocery store, music store, and several bars/things to do I highly recommend this is you're going to see a show/concert in the area as it's easy to get to via public transport or walking (and stumble to-able at the end of the night. Or midday, I wont judge.)

CanadaSome furniture are old, but it is not a big deal
Free breakfast, waking in distance to any places in downtown Calgary, free wifi, ample space, no bizarre residents, a safety cabin you can lock valuables on the bed (didn't use it and noticed it before I left), not usually full of people as imagined, a community for living with different philosophy, very convenient

India1- Breakfast ran out and wasn't refilled. I came around 9:30AM and there were no juice or fruit. The breakfast options in general were very limited. 2- The beds are very noisy. Even a slight movement shakes the whole trunk. Couldn't sleep properly. Having a private room was of no use. 3- You have to carry your luggage via the stairs and that's not easy. They don't have the lifts. This is not a usual European style hostel you would expect. The only good thing was the location. I would prefer an Airbnb for people tight on budget.
