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.).

NetherlandsI got stuck to the uneven wooden floor and ripped a hole in my sock, I didn't speak to staff about it as I ad to get to work, so I don't know how hey would have handled it.
Great location, very kind staff who made me feel welcome and helped when I needed it. Good room with a nice bed and clean sheets. Good bathroom with as small but comfortable shower.

IrelandThere is a bizarre culture of thievery in this hostel, which I did not recognise immediately. For example, I wanted to make some coffee in the basement canteen, so I used a container with a 'free coffee' label. An older man was intensely ogling me from behind and quickly accused me of 'stealing' other people's food. I thought this experience was very strange, to say the least, but I soon found out why. Of all the things that this hostel's guests can have their personal items stolen; for example, a wallet, a laptop, a mobile phone, etc., one would not normally suspect that a room key card could be a target, but in this hostel, it is worth €20, so the thieves would steal a room key card if it is unguarded. I was taking a shower and left my room key card unguarded outside with shampoo, conditioner, soap, etc., and it was promptly stolen. When I went to the reception and explained that my room key card was stolen while I was taking a shower, the receptionist would not entertain the fact that I was a victim of petty thievery and promptly demanded that I pay up €20 replacement fee. The hostel's CCTV computer records showed that my room key card was last used to enter the hostel building at around 9pm, and I never left the building, so the room key card must be inside the building somewhere. Someone had my room key card. The 'penalty' for losing the room key card is €20, which is too severe in a case like mine, so I pleaded for lesser penalty, but the hostel would not make any exceptions. The lesson from this negative experience is that someone WILL steal something from you in this hostel, and it is not the obviously valuable items, but it is the least guarded item - the room key card. I wished that I had gone to a different hostel.
The hostel is spacious with the study room and the game room. There is a plenty of personal space and study space.

United StatesThere were some dirty dishes in the sink in the public kitchen. Overall, the kitchen was sanitary. Many stairs (difficult if you have heavy luggage) / not wheelchair accessible.
Really enjoyed the 2-bed female room. Bathroom in the room was great to have. It was a good price and great location. There are many restaurants and a Tesco nearby. Many museums are also within walking distance. Tram is close by and multiple bus lines to the airport are a few minutes walk away.

IrelandThe stairs and they put the all women's rooms at the top 💀 but hey it's exercise. I just think men would have an easier time carrying luggage but there is a luggage storage room. So if you keep your daily necessities in a backpack it's ok.
I love that there are curtains to block out the light and for privacy on each bunk, even the top bunk! The staff are always nice. The garden is lovely. The kitchen is organised and clean.

United KingdomMade to wait to check in , even when the room was ready , dirty room with previous guests food and mess down the side of the bed , toilets and showers out of service with out of service notes on the doors , kitchen very poor with only microwaves to cook your food with very limited plates and utensils , checked out before could sleep due to feeling unsafe , pay a few euros to stay somewhere else . It’s worth it , when approached the hostel refund basically 100% refusal , I don’t like to leave such negative reviews but feel left with very little choice
the only positive is the location , sadly that’s where it ends

FranceThe rooms were on the last floor without a lift. The beds were soft so it hurt my back, the linen wasn't clean, the rooms weren't tidy, the people in the room seemed more "hobo" sort of people, the bathrooms stank, hot water wasn't available. All in all terrible experience. Please avoid!
