Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. 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...).

JapanThere’s only one toilet (technically they have two but in the same room without any partition for some reason so only one person can use it at a time), so if you know you are gonna in hurry it’s better to go to the bathroom in advance instead of hoping it’s vacant at the last minute
Outlet near the bed, kitchen with a lot of shared stuff! Some travelers left what they didn’t need any longer, so they already have basic condiments. Not just normal cutleries but they also have thermos that are free to use, which I brought to the Aurora hunting tour. Laundry and drier is provided for 20 euro per round.

United KingdomThe owner/manager was extremely helpful. I became ill, and the staff there was really nice in aiding my recovery and looking after me. They provided me with medicine and made hot drinks. Extremely good hospitality which cannot be beaten whats so ever. They also provided breakfast in terms of cereal and teas whereby you only have to bring ur own milk. They have all the facilities you need. Extremely warm and cosy, showers are always warm and fit for purpose. Was very clean and every day I was there, I saw a deep clean of the entire hostel. This is one of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in and would really recommend.

AustraliaOnly one toilet and one shower for the whole hostel to share made things a bit difficult. With the amount of space in each room, stalls could easily be installed. Crazy expensive too, but that’s to be expected from anywhere people go to see the Northern Lights.
Fun aesthetic, cute central living space with couches, big kitchen, staff do dishes for you, laundry service available (very efficient), free tea, coffee and snacks. Towels replaced daily. 15min walk to Rovaniemi train station and 10min walk to the supermarket. Easy pickup for all arctic activities.

Australia~ There is only one toilet room (2 toilets in one room next to each other - not stalls) and one shower room for all 12-13 guests to use. This wasn’t a major issue, but it didn’t feel like there was much privacy; particularly if maybe you’re having an off night. People in the common lounging area can hear everything happening in the bathroom and toilet room. ~ There’s also no lockers here or storage bins for luggage. So everyone kind of piles their stuff in the bed if they’re on an upper bunk and under/on the bed of a lower bunk. ~ Laundry has to be handed to the staff to take care of~ which for me personally, I don’t like parting with any of my belongings when I’m travelling but for some this might not be an issue.
Alisa is so awesome, she does so much for the property and it shows! She had a really good recommendations for a northern lights tours and other activities too. I liked the kitchen facilities, and the bathroom products and basic food items available for use are also good if someone is in a bind. The location of the hostel is nice and central, easy to access everything and only 5mins away from a major shopping centre.

ItalyThe only drawback is that the hostel is quite small so its hard to have privacy (e.g., if you need to make a call).
The host Alisa is fantastic! So kind, so fast to respond, so lenient. I broke a bowl and offered to pay and she said dont worry about it. So so lovely.

SwitzerlandEverything was great.
Everything was perfect. Centrally located, small and cozy where you feel like home, and very clean. The shower is in one big room and the toilets in another big room, with a few toiletries provided (soap, tissues etc). There was never an issue of having to queue for one or the other. The kitchen is very big and some essentials were also provided for free (tea, pasta etc.). Easy to check in and Alisa was always available to answer any question.

DenmarkThe description on booking.com was confusing as i booked a bunk bed ( which is 2 beds to me), however, th4 confirmation indicated 1bed +2 guests. It took some time to sort it out &get another bed, the hostel said they were not responsible for the hostel description on booking.com. Booking.com did try to intervene and responded fast to me but eventually the slow response from the host (after a phone call, as they did not respond to emails or messages via the app) was quite stressful and gave me a bad impression of the hostel. Other issue, cannot blame the hostel as they accommodate multiple people from different backgrounds at a time but I noted the below 1. Certain period of the day, the bathroom and toilet were not clean-people do not clean after themselves. 2. Snoring roommates- had difficult nights during our stay due to the snoring. First time trying out a hostel. I'm not sure i would do it again, due to the above
Convinience and clean beds and facilities. My young daughter and I were confortable and were able to sleep on same bunk bed on the 2nd night thanks to the host
