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.).

IrelandThe management should do better on the receipt. I always use booking app to book and I went to the reception for receipt and I was told I have to wait 15 working days to get receipt. That’s the only constraint and would be the reason why I’ll stop using the hostel unless I can get my receipt immediately I get to reception once my payment is confirmed on booking.

United KingdomIt is way overpriced for what you get. I have stayed in nice hostels that only cost €15/€20 per night. The bed wasn’t made and sheets hadn’t been washed in god knows how long. The bedding was itchy. All of the bathrooms on my floor were locked. Be warned that the hostel is not in a very safe location.
It was secure with key card access.

PolandThere was too little access to natural light from the window from the point of my bed and I think my locker was broken.
The Leevin Hostel George service was good value for money! The staff was really kind and willing to help when encountering problems. I saw that the bathrooms were often cleaned so that's a huge plus.

Switzerland- No elevator - Stifling heat - Beds enclosed in wood, resembling coffins more than beds – a nightmare for those suffering from claustrophobia - Bathrooms are of very low standard and insufficient in number relative to the number of beds - Yellow wristbands that guests must wear, which are difficult to remove - Bed bugs - No response from management – I emailed with a complaint and a request for a refund and received no reply - The photos on Booking.com do not reflect reality at all - The price, although seemingly low for Dublin, is not adequate for this accommodation – it’s better to pay 50% more and get something of decent quality I am very disappointed with this hostel and do not recommend it to anyone. The photos and description on the website are misleading, and the quality of the accommodation is far below acceptable standards.
Location was very good.

United StatesThe Internet doesn't work very well in the kitchen and in that area I was unable to connect my phone to the WiFi. That's the only thing that I didn't like.
This hostel was amazing, I loved because the beds are covered individually and you feel with more privacy. The locker is inside where the bed is located which I liked. Another thing is that I was able to charge my phone using a USB cable because the plug had that option which is very helpful because my charger is a type C and in Dublin, they use a different one. The kitchen is big and I was able to cook my own food and the location for the hostel is super close to downtown.

GreeceThe most disturbing fact was the lack of cleanliness under the bed. 5 days into my trip, I lifted my mattress to fix my sheet and was shocked to find accumulated dust, dirt, used wipes, food packages, pills, a fork, and other garbage. It seemed as though this area hadn’t been cleaned in a very long time (see photos). When I informed the receptionist about this issue, he seemed totally indifferent and simply said he would send someone to clean. Didn't really seem to care about the fact that I was sleeping above a pile of rubbish and dirt for 5 days or that this is definitely an ongoing issue with all ground beds. The cleaning lady though was sent quickly to my room and cleaned. Then for the next 2 days they kept deactivating my room card throughout the day, which forced me to go up and down the 2 floor stairs, as their way to make me go by the reception so they could ask me remove my Google review. Total nonsense! 2) The public spaces, especially the bathrooms and showers, were not clean. There was a noticeable smell, leaky pipes, and humid bath mats that had mold. 3) The hostel was significantly downgraded compared to the photos shared online, which was disappointing. Do yourself a favor and opt for a different one, unless you’re keen on experiencing ground zero for the next pandemic.
Hostel is well connected to the city. The beds are also well isolated, providing quite a sense of privacy
