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.).

located in the heart of Venice this is an excellent hostel and location to explore the city. Close to the water bus stop and on the main route to through the city it is also the perfect place to retreat at the end of the day with a cold beer on the lower back terrace. Friendly and helpful staff.

GermanyThe whole floor had a horrible smell, like water in which cut flowers have long been rotting away. The room was extremely cold, so you had to wear a lot of clothes to be able to sleep. Also the bed felt kind of humid. I just felt extremely uncomfortable and could not sleep a lot.
The location is quite good.

City tax was collected in cash without any receipt. Could have been included online No elevator. Good luck carrying big suitcase 3 stories up. No canal view from property
Nice place, kitchen and bathroom No bunk beds.. multiple single beds in a room 600 year old building

HungaryThe location. The location is quite good actually, but since the area is not too touristy, it can be quiet and dark, which can be a bit dangerous I think. Also, there was only small size indicating the hostel on the door, so you have to read the owner’s instruction properly.
Feels homey. All the antiques stuff were potentially be amazing attraction but somehow the owner just doesn’t care lol. But its good, it doesn’t breathe ‘hostel’ or ‘hotel’ so yeah, it feels like home. Plus, the room is unexpectedly big for a decent hostel.

The location, and the kindness of the receptionist when I had to arrive ridiculously late. In a place it's easy to get lost in the location being so close the Rialto was comforting. The facilities are basic but functional and clean.

The bathroom was terrible too, the shower full of hairs, the toilette stuck, always papers on trash without a thing to cover. The room was dirty and smells too.
The location was perfect. The staff guy was nice but didn’t talk english or italian, so was hard to comunicate.

Perfect location close to Rialto bridge. Nice and helpful staff. Kitchen gave possibility of simple cooking and making own breakfast. Cozy rooms with art paintings on the walls. In living room there were traces of fresco paintings on the walls, something you don't expect on a relatively cheap hostel. The central heating was working. Everything was clean.

UkraineWhen I just came, receptionist showed me the kitchen and kindly proposed to eat the leftovers from other guests. Also there was a terrible smell in this kitchen. There was a bathroom at the floor, but it had no hot water, so if you were willing to take a shower you had to go to another part of the building. Hairdryer was at the reception, so you had to take it with you when you need it and then return. One day it disappeared and stuff couldn't do anything about it. It was really cold in my room all the time. I guess it won't be a problem in summer, but I didn't see any air conditioner there either. I've received no towel and when I asked they said I should pay for it in addition. Fun fact: at the last day they decided to make my bed and took the towel away. They also made me pay "pledge" for key from a locker, but newer returned the money 'cause when I was leaving it was no one from stuff there.
The location is pretty convenient

FranceThe cleanliness of the kitchen was appalling... some of the drawers had not been washed for 6 months, and there was a strong smell of frying throughout our stay. Although this is self-service for all hotel guests, it is important to ensure a minimum of cleanliness for guests. Very disappointing in this regard, especially as I was planning to save money on my trip by using this kitchen.
ai boteiri is really well placed in the city, close to the rialto bridge. the rooms are quite correct, although there was no radiator in our room.
