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.).

AustraliaExcellent hostel. I slept in their new apartment, in a quadruple room. Comfortable, new, clean, and tidy. The English couple who volunteered there were very friendly and helped me organize my stay. The location is excellent. I definitely recommend it.

GermanyIt was a very quite place, so the apartment itself was not very social.
The Female Dorm ist located 2min away from the main hostel building in a separate building in an apartment. The apartment has a big living room including tv kitchen and a small balcony which feels like an Airbnb. The dorm was very clean and sweet, with curtains and a bathroom in the dorm.

United KingdomNo duvet, only a single blanket with no top sheet meant a cold nights sleep until an extra blanket was obtained for the second night.
Room in Ethel apartments was very good compared to the hostel, Netflix and Disney on the communal TV was a bonus.

PolandThe water dispenser is in the room available between certain hours, so if you have an early bus or come back late, you cant actually get to the water. There could also be more cups etc available at the kitchen.
A great social hostel, very nice room with a bathroom with hot (really hot) water. A small kitchen where you can actually cook, Hot and cold water dispenser. A great bar.

GermanyNo sound isolation, you hear every person walking by the room or talking on the hallway, no small lamp by the bed, gaps around the fan and window so mosquitos can fly in, super tiny bathroom
This is as basic as it gets but for the money absolutely fair value, was clean, bed was comfy, warm water, wifi worked well, easy check-in, some 5min from the bus station and on a side street of the main road near restaurants and grocery

CanadaThe staff at this hostel are very friendly, helpful, and generous. I really appreciated having a hot shower, something I didn't expect in this small town. They also provide unlimited filtered water, which is a great perk, as you don't get that at all hostels.

SwedenThe common bathroom floors were always wet which is not ideal as it gets very cold in the Cameron Highlands. If you bring your own indoor slippers that should be no problem though.

SwitzerlandIt would be nice to have a reading light in the room. Neighbours in the building were sometimes noisy, also at odd hours.
I stayed at the "new wing", which is an apartment on the ground floor of a nine-floor building, a few minutes walking from the main hostel. The apartment has two rooms for two people each and a dormitory for four persons. It has cooking facilities (one-pan induction heater, water boiler, toaster, microwave, fridge), a comfortable sofa, TV and a little seating area outdoors. The room was basic (no cupboard, I received cloth hangers). Also, the staff gave me useful tips for hiking on the jungle trails.

ArgentinaThe room was next to reception so was a bit noisy at times. They would close a door in between during night times, which "helped". Room didn't have a proper window, more like glass blinds that were missing a few, impossible to have some privacy. We could hear other rooms conversations, wasn't great when someone came in the middle of the night and didn't respect quite times. Shower head leaking constantly, we put it on the floor for noise.
Friendly staff, good location, water dispenser available. Booked our activities with reception.
