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.).

GreeceIt is difficult to maintain a clean kitchen being used by everyone. This hostel preserves the kitchen cleaner than everywhere else I've been. But, there are still some small steps for excellence.

MaltaBelieve the reviews that say that it is super noisy- it’s much worse than i thought! The hotel is on a very busy road and there was loud partying until 4am every night and earplugs didn’t really help:/
The bedrooms are nicely decorated, comfortable and spacious. The staff was also really friendly and welcoming. The location is really good, super close to most central attractions:)

GermanyBut the entrance of the hostel was very noisy as it was in a street with bars and pubs. I woke up because of the noise when it was about to be morning. They give you a pair of earplugs. But it's still hard not to be bothered by the noise…
Since the hostel is in the center, you can walk to many places. Close to lots of places to eat. Staff are friendly and helpful. They helped me in many ways. Thank you for all. :)

Australia- On a lively street, which unfortunately means that there is sound over night. Although the hostel offers free ear plugs to counter this. Comes with the territory. -Shelving inside the shower itself would be a massive quality of life improvement
This is an absolutely amazing hostel. The front of house is a cafe that is on a lively street. The cafe itself is actually really good both the coffee and the carrot cake were amazing. The rooms were spacious, had heaps of natural light, good size lockers and were overall fairly clean. The facility is well equipped, everything works as intended and works well. The street that this hostel is on has a lot to offer from gastronomic adventures to partying. I could have spent my whole time at and/or near the hostel in Rotterdam and left a happy man.

Canada- we had the private room (room 206) for 2 nights July 23-25 — the room was unbearably hot even with two fans running (no A/C) - it was only 22deg at night but we could not sleep more than a few hours total (both nights) - the fridge in our room was broken (which would have helped greatly with the heat having cold drinks), we asked the front desk, they said they would talk to manager in 5min, 1hr later we went down again only to have the staff confirm that it was indeed broken and that we should use communal fridge (no fix was offered) - upon arrival there were clumps of hair on the ground and poop in the toilet - the main light while on barely produced any light, it was basically pitch black at night, we had to prop the bathroom door open to get light in the room (bathroom door would not stay open on it’s own) - overall the room was old and some baseboards have fallen of the wall, some artwork was clearly missing with giant hooks in the wall
- location to city center - able to check in over 2hrs early which was appreciated - despite alot of street noise outside, we could not hear anything which was great

GermanyThe lockers are so uncomfortable and risky to use. My locker had a broken hinge which I did not notice initially. It came crashing down on my elbow and resulted in an injury. The staff gave me ice to ease the pain in a timely manner. I requested the staff to allocate me a bed on the bottom as it was difficult to climb to my bed on top. They said since I had already prepared my bed and climbed on top they cannot give me another bed. I requested them for quite some time due to the injury caused in the process of using their faulty locker, but they just repeated their rules. The night staff seemed like they wanted to help but they had to go by the rules and were not in an authority to make decisions. The management was fast asleep by then!!! On a normal day, the hostel would have gotten a good rating from me. But they were unable to think out of the box in an exceptional situation. Dealing with expections is a test for any business venture, and looks like this hostel failed in it. I also enquired about filing for insurance for compensation for my health, time and money. The management asked me to send my medical examination reports for it. I sent them my medical examination report and I am still waiting for their response after a week.
The hostel was clean and the staff responded well to common requirements.
