How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, 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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

The mattress in the bed was way too soft for my taste, not sure if it was a real mattress or just some soft foam...
Really nice looking Hostel. Free Breakfast next door, which was alright, could have been a little bit more. Staff was friendly and helpful.

There is no common room, just a seating bench outside the rooms but it‘s not really a place to meet people or hang around any longer
Comfy bed, large shelf next to bed, well working AC, friendly and helpful staff, good service, included small breakfast, complementary tea and coffee… While I thought it was a bit weird that the staff came into the rooms a lot (without knocking) I found it quite pleasant that the toilet paper was folded like in a hotel every time I used the bathroom haha.

Towel and linen didn't feel fresh. Mattress wasn't comfortable. Strange ladder to go to upper bed, not very comfortable to claim. Tea, coffee, breakfast, and reception are in another hostel nearby.
Hot water in the shower. Good internet. Good but small breakfast. It was nice to have a few fruits for breakfast. There were lockers in the room.

Toilets were smelling and water didnt properly work. We had to go to another hostel for breakfast which is okay, but we also had to go to other place for hot or cold water as well because we didnt have a fridge or a working water dispenser too. Some staff made us very uncomfortable. We were 2 girls in the room and they came 4-5 times a day to ‘check something’ about the room. They came to ‘clean’ even before check out times or came to clean the bathroom 2-3 times a day which wasnt even that clean. I spesificly asked them to not touch our beds, dont open curtains and not change the sheets but they always tried to fold the blanket… we as 2 girls in the dorm had no privacy
The location was great. Breakfast was delicious. Some staff were kind.

The staff is polite, but asks a thousand questions. Although even my face shows that I don't like to communicate. I asked you not to talk to me. As a result, he walked around and always looked at me askance. It takes half an hour to turn on the warm water in the shower, because there is either boiling water or cold water. I have constantly extended my stay, but during this time I have never had my bed linen changed.
Free tea and coffee for guests.

I really enjoyed my stay at Maharani hostel. I ended up staying for a week and extended twice. The location is great, it’s really central and even though it’s a busy area the hostel itself is super quiet. It’s a small hostel with only three dorm rooms and it just opened a few months ago. During my stay we were max four people, often less than that (during off-season in Feb). Everything was clean and checked regularly. All beds have curtains, a socket and a reading lamp. There are also spacious wooden lockers in the room. The staff was super friendly and remembered everyone’s name. It felt really personal and they were always happy to give recommendations as well. Breakfast was included too and it was great! There was always fruit for breakfast (watermelon, papaya and dragon fruit) and either pancakes, scrambled egg on toast or omelette. I felt safe as a female solo traveler even though the doors didn’t lock. Would definitely come back and stay at Maharani hostel again.
