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...).

ArgentinaNot so clean. There's no reception and no sign at all so it's really hard to find the place. It's strangely called Sogi hostel.
Location. You get a towel, slippers and toothbrush for free. You can store stuff in the fridge. There's a microwave also and like 3 or 4 showers.

JapanAs many guests have mentioned, it’s dirty and messy, not organized at all. I have stayed at more than 10 hostels in Tokyo but this is absolutely worst. The most important issue is totally absence of staff working there and no reception. New comers are confused not knowing how to check in(instruction by mail is not enough…) It there are staff taking care of room & watching people, guests would use facilities respectfully and room would not be too dirty at least. Otherwise anybody even outsiders can enter hostel easily and pick up any luggage & personal belongings from there . I highly request manager to improve at least security as licensed accommodation.
Hard to find…

SpainThe check-in information was not delivered correctly to almost any guest. The room smelled foul and unhygienic. There was no allocated room or locker for luggage. Guests ate in their beds and spilled their food around. The cleaning staff tossed our stuff to the floor and left it there while we were out. We literally preferred to sleep at the airport over spending one more night in there.
The hosts respond in a timely manner.

JapanThe place is a bit hard to find as there is no nameboard outside. Follow the Google maps closely.
Simple dormitory with a bed and basic facilities for spending nights on the cheap in Tokyo. Close access to Yamanote means city centres such as Ikebukuro and Shibuya are well within reach, and the place is also very easy to reach from the Haneda Airport. The people I met during my stay were nice. Though if you are a light sleeper then it might be a little difficult as people are going in and out of the room regularly, but other than that everyone mind their own business.
