Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

FinlandThe bunk beds felt a bit unstable when climbing up to the top bed.
The hostel buildings were beautiful and the garden a lovely place to hang out. It was also really peaceful there even though the hostel was nearby the main street. The staff was very nice.

AustraliaBit old and things are out of date. Walls are all cracked and will leave white residue on your bags if you leave it on there. Not a big deal for me but just an FYI. Also I was on a bunk bed and the bed seems so rickety and flimsy. Any movement from me or the person below me, the whole bunk just wobbles.
Location is in a nice area which is quiet. 10min walk from station. Outdoor area is nice that has seats under the trees and also a mini football field (but never saw anyone use it). Nice outdoor grassy area if you want to chill there. Staff are great as well

FranceThe room was very hot, there was a ceiling fan that started making a lot of noise in the middle of the night so I had to turn it off. Only one shower for 3 or 4 rooms. No towels.
The staff at the front desk was nice and welcoming. It is a calm place next to the canal, very nice garden and green areas to relax. Not that far from the center. There was a sink and mirror inside the room.

CanadaI wish the rooms had mosquito nets/ window screens so that you could leave the window open at night without fearing to get eaten alive by mosquitoes.
Ostello Santa Fosca is like the perfect little island in the middle of busy Venice. We are so happy that we canceled our hotel reservation and booked the hostel instead. The hostel is located right on a canal, one block away from the main shopping street and one block away from a very cute, more quiet canal with lots of restaurants, gelaterias, etc. It has multiple beautiful courtyards where you find shade, peace and quiet at all times of the day. Great to enjoy breakfast (2 grocery stores and bakeries are less than 5 min away), relax mid-day, or sip a glass of wine before bed. You can use the kitchen if you want to (clean up after yourself!) and store some items in the shared fridges. There is a kettle , espresso maker, plates, cups, etc. We had 2 rooms: one 2-bed room without bathroom and a 3-bed room with bath. The 2-bed room was very simple and felt a bit dungy, but was very clean. The other room was cute, maisonette-style with a beautiful high ceiling with old wooden beams. This one seemed newly renovated. It was very hot and humid during our stay, and the rooms have no A/C. There are fans though, so it wasn't too bad. We would stay at the hostel again in a blink and absolutely recommend this place. Staff is very friendly and you can leave your luggage/ use the courtyards after checking out.

LatviaThe room was cleaned poorly, the floors were dirty, even some glass elements from the floor were lying around, so it was not possible to walk around without shoes. There were spider webs on the walls, as well as glue from stickers on the walls and closets, not very cozy.
The location was great, close to centre. Property had beautiful and spacious gardens. AC was working well.

AustraliaThey don’t put on any activities to get people talking to each other. Hostel is very big and people are spread out so I wouldn’t recommend for solo travellers trying to meet people. They also completely shut down the bathrooms for 4hrs a day to clean.

The hostel has a nice green yard to sit and relax, also a patio for having meals. Coffee, tee, pasta provided (one should cook him/herself). Also, cooler with drinking water at the reception. Excellent, would stay again.
