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 Statesbeing in the center it’s quite loud. there are a few discotecas right on the same block which play music all night on the weekends. we were able to sleep fine but if you’re someone who is easily bothered it might easily it could be a problem. not the most social hostel
in the middle of Oaxaca city, comfy beds with AC, good privacy in the private rooms, breakfast included, information about tours around town. beautiful rooftop and terrace.

FranceI wanted to come back to the hostel after going to the mountains for a few days, contacted them , was told there were beds left but when I arrived , I was told that everything was full. didn’t appreciate that but I guess should be avoided when making a reservation via booking.com

ItalyThere is almost no variety in breakfast. The staff doesn't provide many info about logistics and alternatives to tours they sell. I had the impression they take the job very seriously, that's great for the service but in a hostel vibes are important too :)
The hostel is really nice and located in a great position. The value for money is excellent: the beds are comfortable, each of it equipped with plugins and locks; there are a beautiful garden and terrace; the kitchen can be used at your convenience (even if its not so much equipped) and they serve breakfast everyday.

TurkeyGreat location, nice breakfast and nice terrace upstairs. Rooms were nice but a bit dark. Decent value for the money and staff were nice. However, it can be really difficult to sleep with the bar across the street blasting music until the wee hours of the morning, so just brace yourself for that. It's also a little weird how they give you a wristband that you have to wear to enter anytime. I didn't really like having to have that or else be denied entry into my place (though that's really just a minor issue).

CanadaI don’t like the idea that there is a karaoke bar right across the street and that’s the music I will be listening to as I fall asleep, lol. There is only a small two burner stove for everyone and only one fridge, so it’s packed pretty tight. l would also like to see some kind of storage unit to put my def food into
I like that there is a nice kitchen with free breakfast included and also different areas to hang out. The location is okay, not too far from the zocalo.

GermanyIt's loud! The dorms are just next to the street + there are clubs in the opposite site of the street, so bring your earplugs. In the morning you can year everything from the kitchen, when they start to prepare the breakfast at 7am, as the dorms are just next to it. Be careful, the 8 bed dorm is for men only (like a female or mixed dorm) BUT it is not mentioned in the description. The 4 & 8 bed dorm have really bad air inside, as there is now window and no air circulation. In the female dorm the shower and toilet are inside the room without a door, only a curtain. The rooms don't have much space for bigger backpacks, which does not fit into the provided lockers. The free breakfast (2 toast, fruits, one egg, coffee/tea) is okay, but if you want only two extra slices of toast you should pay 50 Pesos. That's the price for the whole breakfast menu. There is no comfortable or quite hangout area, even so the rooftop terrace is nice with all the plants.
Free drinking water, bed was comfortable, luggage storage, fruits for the free breakfast, provided lockers, central location.
