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.).

Israelit is not possible to use lockers outside the room without making a noise. idk why the lockers are so noisy to open or close, but it can wake you up at night. also would be great to have some kind of a table next to lockers that can be used to sort things out of the baggage instead of doing it on the floor.
location, staff, comfortable bed, nice indoor hall

IsraelThe bathroom waant very clean, and needing to put the bed shits myself+take them down at check-out was unconvinient (as I did the check out very early I woke up the girls in my room). But othee than that- It was a good stay.
The hostel situated 10 minutes walk from the train station, which was great, the check-in/out were fast and the breakfast was really good.

United KingdomLockers for the dorms were in the corridor rather than inside the rooms. There was only 1 available toilet in each communal bathroom and keycards would only allow access to the bathroom on 1 floor. Breakfast was mostly meat and dairy products. Plant based milk was available, but you had to ask a staff member to get this for you and there was not always a member of staff in the dining area.
Relatively cheap accommodation close to Cornavin train station. Easy to get to from Geneva airport. Located near the lake, with good restaurants options nearby. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Excellent value for money with breakfast and transport card included, good location near transport links and lots of restaurants nearby. Nice common areas and luggage storage and plug adaptors to hire were very useful.

GermanyHygiene in the room and bathroom could be checked more frequently in my opinion but I understand it's not fully in their control and is dependent on your cohabiters.
Centrally located, and very helpful staff.... Highly recommended if you are tight on budget as Geneva can be cruel on your wallet.

Everything was perfect and we have been told we could have our breakfast as a take way, which was so nice of you guys, which you don't get this offer somewhere else and it would be fantastic if you would allow a cup of coffee which sometimes can be more than a break fast for some people thank you! 😊

SpainJust to say something, check-in at certain times could be harsh/long due to the long queue of people coming at the same time. Anyway, staff is very professional and they try to work as fast as they can in order not to make guests wait.
Great building, rooms are big and confortable beds. Price and value are incredible. Plenty of options in the breakfast as well. Staff was very friendly.

SpainThere was no good ventilation in our room so there was some smell. My locker was next to the bathroom door so I got punched when someone left the bathroom and I was organizing my things.
Hostel location is great, near train and bus station and the city center. The breakfast was very complete and as the last day I had to leave before it was served, they gave me a breakfast box to go, which I really enjoyed. The bathrooms were very comfortable to shower and change. The lockers were safe.

United Kingdomthe wifi was very bad at reception and pretty much nonexistent in the room. you also had to access it with a code that they give you when checking in, so as soon as you checked out you can’t use it anymore, which I found very stupid. at every other hostel I’ve been around europe you can access the wifi even after checking out if you need it to figure out what you’re doing next, and especially in Switzerland where roaming costs a fortune
