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.).

super close to airport bus (skye bus) clean kitchen (everyone cleans up after themselves) clean toilets and showers (it all looks super fancy and aesthetic) miss lucy (part of the hostel) was a nice restaurant place where you could have some food, coffee or try and connect

FranceI am not a fan of self check in/check out - it is always nicer to deal with an actual human being. Also the sanitary bins in the bathrooms would need to be emptied more frequently
The sleeping pods are really comfortable and well thought, the shared spaces are nicely decorated, enough toilets and showers

New ZealandI was a bit concerned about the fact that a man on meth (full on crackhead spec) was just walking around the halls at night. I can't say he didn't book a room, but when trying to go toilet at around 3am, he was just standing in the hall charging his phone - I'd say that was the only downside to our stay.
I loved it! The facilities were nice and clean, the staff were pleasant and easy to deal with - it was a very relaxed and easy going environment. The check in process was unbelievably easy and the kitchen/bathroom facilities were amazing. We're definitely staying over again on our next Auckland trip

New ZealandThe bathrooms could be cleaned more regularly. Our double room was small but had enough space for everything, however there was no window, if that’s an issue for you.
This place has a really fun vibe, the atmosphere as soon as you walk in is amazing. Miss Lucys being so close made it easy to grab a tasty bite after a long day of traveling, plus the vending machines in the kitchen area are real handy. Checking in and out is real easy. The hang out areas are really comfortable. Beds are clean and crisp.

New ZealandOnly downsides was the kitchen was filthy as I think the people using it were not used to adhering to backpacker shared kitchen rules! I felt bad for LyLo as its a great kitchen and so well stocked! All the sinks were blocked with pasta and gunk, surfaces filthy, pans and plates in the sinks, microwaves dirty. Also as there are no windows it was very stuffy and hot in the pod, even with the fan on. But dont want that to take away from the great facility it is overall.
Such great decor, ease of check in and so grateful your staff reserved me a lower bunk on request as I have a hip replacement. Room and toilets were super clean, lovely chill out area on level 2, super strong wifi! Powerful showers! Great area to do some work too. Pod was super clean and bed was comfy as.
