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.).

FranceI stayed at this hostel recently, and given the price, I wasn’t expecting luxurious amenities, and that’s exactly what I found. The room was basic but clean, with just the essentials for a functional stay. Nothing surprising, but everything I needed was there. The available facilities were nice: there are two restaurant/bar areas, a common room, and a desk for planning trips, which is really convenient if you're planning to explore. I chose the option with breakfast included, which allowed me to select an à la carte breakfast up to a maximum of 700 NRP. It was a good way to start the day. One thing to note: the restaurant and bar areas close around 11 PM or midnight. If you're looking for a festive atmosphere, this might not be the best place, but it’s perfect if you prefer a calm environment to relax after a busy day.

Hong KongVery comfortable, large hostel with all the facilities for a good stay! dorms were very comfy, the restaurant and cafe is amazing, another one on the rooftop was also amazing. plenty of space to chill out, and the location was perfect. Just in a quiet corner off one of the main roads in Thamel, so a few minutes walking to all the shopping, and also just a few minutes walk to the tourist bus departure point.

United KingdomOnly thing I would say is that the dorms are small - lots of people packed into a small room. Also the bunk beds are not easy to get up and down from.
Stayed in the female hostel, had a great experience. Really clean dormitory, very comfortable bed. Two lockers provided per person. Honestly a great hostel stay, I would stay again. There is no lift but the staff helped to carry my bags up many flights of stairs to the room.
