Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

For the money what's not to like? If I had to be picky I would say having to rent a towel for €3.50 would be the only very minor negative.
The receptionist at this hostel was excellent, pleasant, helpful and her English was 100 times better than my French. Traveling on a motorbike means a lot of clobber to hump around but even after checkout I was allowed to leave my stuff in a locker so I could explore beautiful Bordeaux. Room was upgraded to a 4 bed dorm from an 8 and was warm and comfortable. I was lucky that I hardly heard my fellow inmates and I hope they didn't hear me lol 🙈 Parking was on street anchored to a barrier but it all was fine Breakfast for €7.50 was also good value Location was fab, close to centre but quiet 👍

Skimpy breakfast but good coffee. The bunks were extremely awkward and resembled cages with holes for breathing. They offered little if any privacy and light showed in and out which was annoying.
Cleanliness, security, ambiance, courtyard, dining and lounge area. News on TV. Good toilet and shower facilities.

Bathroom facilities in the room was the only luxury missing.
I don't know what other rooms were like, but the 4 bed dorm was excellently arranged for privacy and comfort. A lockable decent capacity locker space was also provided under the bed.

The reception and food service ladies, Anna and her Russian colleague (I'm sorry I cannot remember her name), were both super. Very friendly and attentive, including being solicitous toward me as I hobbled around the place on a sore knee (after too much walking). The rooms were clean, and the beds comfortable.

Everything was wonderful. The beds offered top tier privacy and comfort, and the bathroom was always impeccable. Common areas were spacious and the staff was friendly and welcoming. This is not a party hostel. I loved it but it might not be the best option if you’re trying to meet new people.

Not much. Given that it is a hostel, you do have to trust your fellow dorm users to some extent and you have to make an effort to respect a shared space.
Helpful and friendly staff, very clean, relaxed atmosphere, logically laid out and someone at the reception 24/7

I wish the train station was a little closer to the hostel and center. So, I would move the train station.
The people working there were very friendly. I extended my stay because I needed to get things done online. The wifi and working areas were very nice and great for spending hours at. I could order a coffee, glass of wine, or food when I needed to continue with my computer. This included international calls that I needed to make. Location was between the center and the train station. A bit of a walk but this is Bordeaux.

I stayed in the dormitory. The building was modern and clean. The staff was kind. I liked the optional dinner: the price was appropiate considering the quantity and low considering the quality. My general opinion was good.

Most hostels have at least some soap to shower, I think it is a very basic thing to provide, so that could be added.
It is very modern, good facilities! The bed doors give a good sense of privacy.

There was not a lot activities in the hostel (that for sure depends what kind of hostel one looks for).
Very friendly staff, beds were comfortably and as similar like boxes you had your private space in a dorm. The common area with a garden and bar is very nice

The breakfast could have had a bit more of variety of bread and salty things. But for the price was quite good…
The bed is really comfortable and allows you to rest properly keeping your privacy.
