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.).

New ZealandMy bed had a small clump of hair from the previous person or the cleaner who knows that came off to the blanket when I grabbed it. It’s not a big deal I can understand that it’s something that can be easily missed but it would have been much better experience for me if that didn’t happen.
Absolutely stunning common area. Comfortable bed. My dorm was nice and quiet. Facilities were clean and pretty. Locker was included.

New ZealandOne more time in Auckland, one more time in Lylo. I just can’t describe how much i loved this place. We first went 1 year ago and got the experiences of the pod’s, it was amazing! This time we went on a budget double room and was fantastic. The space, bed, shared amenities. Easy check-in, check-out, only 5 minutes walking from the sky tower, it’s just perfect. Staff is always nice & helpful. I always recommend Lylo, best place ever in Auckland, you won’t regret it.

New ZealandWould be awesome to lend towels (I know they could be rented), and the dimmer in my pod didn't work so light was pretty bright. Wasn't sure how to check out but staff were able to advise.
Loved the atmosphere, and the wee cabin type bunks, lots of privacy and storage for your stuff. Feels super safe, staff so helpful and friendly. Good storage and amenities in bunks (plugs and such). Thanks!

New ZealandWe were there on Friday the 15th March around lunch time & we both had a delicious burger each. The lady who served us at Miss Lucy’s had extremely average service. She certainly didn’t look like she wanted to be there. I would give her a 2 out of 10 for service. For your feedback, there was no smile, an half mute intial recognition (very underwhelming), little eye contact & her body language was also not great. The lady maybe was having a bad day but it was well below par.

New ZealandI did not feel that there were sufficient staff serving at breakfast time, especially with big tour groups. At times only one person was taking orders and making coffee which did mean you had to stand around waiting to pay and for your coffee to be made. I'd encourage you to put on more staff in the restaurant. It would be great to diversify the menu too for the evening meal as there were not a lot of healthy choices - mainly pizza and fried foods etc.
I was very impressed with the standard for a budget hotel. It has a modern feel and the room was extremely comfortable. The staff at check-in were really helpful.

United KingdomOur room didn’t have a window which wasn’t a dealbreaker considering we were only staying 2 nights and there is a tv that shows the view from the roof. However, there wasn’t an option to select window room or internal room when booking.
I stayed in a double room with my partner. The room was clean and modern with just enough space for your stuff. There were warm cozy lights as an alternative to the main bright light which is a nice bonus from most hostel rooms. Bed was so comfy and the sheets were lovely. Definitely an upgrade to other hostels we stayed in! Great kitchen facilities and lovely bar downstairs.

NorwayNo windows in rooms, makes me think this hostel could be a death trap if there would be a fire. A bit noisy in the hang out area in evening because of the cafe also being a bar.
Clean, new and modern facilities. Easy to check in and out. Helpful and friendly staff. Clean sheets and beds. Spacious lockers in room that locks with key card. Nice cafe and reception area on the ground floor. Kitchen was also nice, but it was closed at 22.00-6.00. Nice laundry room.

United KingdomWrong question. Lylo is built and set up with the young 'back pack' traveller in mind and it suits that purpose admirably. For members of the older generation - it is just a different world - however, it accommodated us as best it could.
Covenienxce and friendly atmosphere. Definitely a young persons place - but we 80+ year olds found it very friendly.
