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.).

United KingdomNothing much. I'd stay again!
LOVED the staff. They were so friendly and helpful. The food was amazing! Loved sitting on the roof terrace with everyone for dinner in the evening. A really nice hostel, a bit dated, but places to relax and hang out. Right next to the market which is great!

United StatesTheir booking system did not seem to be super organized and my friend wound up having to sleep on an emergency bed in the hall her first night there even though I had confirmed her bed in the morning.
The food, value, location, front desk service, and activity offerings at night were all great! The roof also had a great view and was nice to enjoy (although it could maybe use some more loungey furniture). Everyone was super friendly which made the bar crawl very fun!

DenmarkIt was very loud until 11pm every night, which was quite irritating since we were jet-lagged and also had to wake up early for daily tours.
Exceptionally friendly and helpful staff! Spacious double room with a very comfy bed, lots of space for luggage & an amazing view. Free tea & coffee (24/7). Delicious breakfast every day (albeit a bit expensive).

CanadaI was warned the neighborhood wasn’t that safe which made me not really venture out at night. I couldn’t find good food around but that’s okay because there is breakfast and dinner at the hostel every day. The neighborhood felt safe enough in the day. Plus, you’ll meet enough people to walk around town with. But I’d recommend you Uber places. I wouldn’t call it a ‘party’ hostel but people are social until 11 or so so it can be a bit loud if you’re on the main floor. I still 100% recommend staying here. Just bring some ear plugs.
By far the best hostel I’ve stayed in all my travels ( and this was my 14th country) You are instantly family when you arrive and the atmosphere and community is so kind and welcoming. I made a ton of friends who I still travel with and stay in contact with. The breakfasts each morning are fabulous and the dinners each night allow everyone to sit together and meet. They plan fun activities each night, like game night or salsa class. They also have a ton of tours that they help you organize and are so accommodating to your every need- from staying an extra night to having to leave early. They are helpful with everything. Also plenty of bathrooms. I could always find one. Please open more community hostels in other cities and countries!

United KingdomNothing, all fantastic.
I really enjoyed my stay here, and due to strikes in Ecuador I ended up staying for quite a long time. The staff are fantastic, and the atmosphere is very welcoming. Everyone went out of their way to help us and even put on extra activities to keep us entertained when it was dangerous to go out on the street. The food is fantastic, and the communal dinners in the evening are a great way to met other people. The best hostel I've stayed at by far. Thank you everyone!
