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.).

United KingdomThe shower water pressure was really low, but it's another thing that's kind of expected in a hostel. This still had continual pressure and I forgot to bring a towel and they gave me one with no charge; so that was all nice. The common area also wasn't anything special, but I didn't really use it as I was only there one night.
The staff was very nice. I had a bit of trouble finding the place at first and someone happened to come outside and found me - so that was nice. The best part about this place is just that it's really hard to beat ~eur23 a night. It was a dorm with 4 beds and so it was everything I was expecting. It had lockers to put my important stuff while I was out, and the beds were fine.

AustraliaLockers were tiny and not secure, someone could easily break into them. There's a lot of trust in who you end up rooming with, not to steal your stuff as nothing is secure. We were lucky to have nice roommates. My recommendation is for bigger lockers to actually store bags instead of the mismatched cupboards. Common spaces are pretty small and kitchen facilities are very basic. A Kettle would be nice.
Brilliant location, Which trumps most of the negatives and the prices of everywhere else. Nice staff, easy access and our room was available early. There are some kitchen facilities (microwave and fridge). Bed were comfortable and clean. Bathrooms were cleaned and maintained.

SwedenTo me as a Swedish currency to Euro exchange rate deterioration "victim", paired with the (global) inflation induced price increase shock, all tourism related costs are nowadays hard to bear. Therefore, overnight stays are no longer affordable to me -- not even backpacker places or hostels. But since hotel costs have galloped away even worse, the choice is simple to make anyway. This view of course applies to all shared-room category sleepovers, and not specifically to Emerald Fields.
First half of my stay I had a room facing the busy street, whereby no one wanted the window open. So there was no air inlet during the night (8 guests). But there were electric wall appliances for every guest. Second half I had a room at the calm backyard, so we had the window open, very nice. But there were no electric wall appliances, so I had to recharge my phone in the kitchen late evenings as I got back from town. No problem though -- got me talking to other guests, and they had an airy open yard next to the kitchen.

United KingdomWIFI, a particular nightly reception guy.
Loved most of the staff except that big bald guy handling reception on the night of 6th June. He was very rude. Given there is no public area in the whole hostel that stays open after 12 and I had to finish some work, so I was doing that and didn't want to keep the lights on in the room. So I was working in the kitchen and he kicked me out. I asked if I can sit in reception in that case, and he had just been rude. One can say no respectfully as well, but not this guy. So I had to literally walk out and finish my work on the street because all the cafes are closed. Heard a similar complain of him being rude from a fellow hosteler as well. But most of the day staff was so amazing and helpful. And the WIFI sucks sadly, I wish it was better. Apart from that, rooms were clean, beds were comfortable, location is pretty good.

United StatesThe floor in the bedroom and bathroom was really dirty. The construction work outside the window were really loud, even with window closed. The sewer smell in the building is bad. I think we may have been charged twice, but I can't tell. Seems like double the price.
The location was great. The sheets were professionally cleaned. Check in staff were really friendly. We got enough rest there. Air conditioner worked.

AustraliaThe fridge I was assigned for my things had a terrible odor that seeped into my fresh fruit and I was woken up in the middle of the night by another traveller as I was assigned their bed. I don’t know if that was an admin issue and I’m not aware of how it was handled on their end but I had to help her find another bed.
Great location, right in the city centre and close to many bars and restaurants. They were very accommodating especially considering the hotel I originally booked cancelled my booking last minute, bathrooms in every room and extras in the halls. Kitchen facilities and small lockers are also available. The staff is lovely and very informative.
