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.).

BrazilThe rooms are not accessible and there are many floors (there is one room per floor). In one of the rooms I stayed in, the floor seemed to be loose or was just old, as it made a lot of noise when stepped on. There are also no mirrors, which makes it difficult especially for women. I believe that the owner should put limits on baths, as there are 2 bathrooms with showers and many people take a long time to bathe. Finally, check in is very late and check out is very early.
The main positive point of the hostel is undoubtedly the location, as it is very central. The shower was also good and the entire building was heated.

This hostel is a gem. It is located in a very expensive area. The building is surrounded by expensive hotels and signatures shops. and it has a rooftop. It is very close to the Cathedral, to the lake and 1 stop away from Zurich main train station.

AustriaIt was weird that i had to prepare my bed and also take off the sheets before I leave. Have not seen this before…
Very clean, very comfy bed and pillow and bedding - perfect for a good night sleep. There were too many windows open for the temperature outside in my opinion, not sure this is always the case. I closed some.

CanadaThere was no place to sit and eat breakfast as the kitchen was so small and only big enough for one person at a time to prep their meal. Also there was a terrace on the top floor which a person could eat there, weather permitting, which I did once but very awkward as a person was sleeping there.

United KingdomNo lift so you need to take your bags all the way to 4th floor if you are choosing the 8bed dormitory, 3rd floor for the 4 bed dormitory. No toilet in the 4th floor so need to go down but there’s a kitchen in the 4th floor. The hostel can easily be missed as there is no big sign outside. The entrance is on the side of a shop.
clean, near the centre, around 10-15 min walk from zurich hb and there’s a near tram stop, a lot of restaurant and cafe around. Hostel owner let us leave our bags after check out

SwitzerlandThere are certainly a lot of steep and narrow stairs, which aren't a problem if you can handle your luggage well. But if you have large suitcases then it would be a struggle. Although it's a small detail, having to make your own bed is a bit annoying.
The location is certainly the best thing. Right in the hard of the city, easy access to everything. The beds were nice and comfortable, the bathroom and shower were clean and large. The room was large and spacious. The lady was nice, and explained everything clearly.

United KingdomUse of showers incurs an additional charge - at the time of writing, this was 5 Francs. So I’d recommend using other shower facilities, elsewhere.
Bed linen and towel included in cost. Lockers in room and private bed curtains. Reasonable, albeit compact kitchen facilities. Fantastic location in the historic city centre.
