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.).

New ZealandNo locker big enough for a laptop and didn't feel the little locker provided would be a secure place for valuables. Some people might not like that light can come into bed 8's area. It didn't bother me.
Walking distance to train station, shopping, and temples plus nice to walk along the river. Great view from the rooftop terrace. Friendly and helpful staff. Very clean. Loved bed 8 in pods with little window with a view of the river. Nice to watch the boats go by. Bed and comforter very comfortable. Good and very clean showers and toilets. Everyone very quiet in the pods. Washing machine takes 30 min and dryer a bit more. Free detergent.

JapanTall people beware :) they have a very cute hole-in-the-wall common area, but anyone taller than 5'5" might need to duck (I'm 5'8" and was crouching to get in). It's just a minor inconvenience, but one that you may need to consider if you're a lot taller.
For me, the best place about the Hostel is its location. It's just a few steps away from Asakusa station, which is very helpful, especially for unfamiliar travelers. Asakusa is always a nice area that feels away from the center but is actually close to great sights (such as the Tokyo Skytree) and the Sumida river. Very nice to walk outside the area. The staff can speak English, and while they can be a bit strict with check-in hours, the staff offered to stay for the extra hour because one of our friends was arriving late. If it weren't for the summer heat, we would have loved to hang out at the rooftop area with the excellent view!

ChinaThe experience is 1000/100!! it is very quiet and especially there is a lot of space for the bed area. You do have space to put your luggage as well. The first floor is common area where the boss has store his own wine and can be sold by cup. There is ample space for common area where I worked. The staff is very nice and helpful to provide recommendations. I just knew it’s opened for 7 years already! And the boss is constantly renovating the hotel so it looks so new. Besides, it’s 200m from the subway, straight line out of airport and 200m from the boat station. Fantastic view and cozy environment.

South AfricaHiro is a phenomenal host who made me feel at home and who provides a list of recommendations around Tokyo. The place is immaculate. I stayed in a shared dormitory type space with a great quality mattress and pillow, a small safe, a light and a good quality curtain. I did not feel like I was in a dorm. The bathroom is perfectly well equipped. There is a small lounge where you can hang out, a rooftop with a great view and a small bar to grab a beer. I'll definitely go back.
