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.).

United KingdomThe staff could not have been nicer or more helpful. There's a very friendly atmosphere and the breakfast is good. I liked the outside area and the location is good. It was social but not a party hostel. I did find the middle bunk a little scary with no wall/barrier on either side, if you roll over in your sleep.

FranceMaybe a little bit cleaner would be perfect !
The dorms were a bit “roots” but it was fine, we had a curtain to be isolated! We felt like this was the place where we met the nicest people overall : very chill place. Its location allows you to go around all the hikes around. They even give you a book and pdf with all you need to know for the hikes! Very useful ! The kitchen is big and nice if you need to cook. There’s a yoga spot and a small garden behind where we chilled a lot ! Breakfast was included and very good !! They also make great smoothies.

CanadaThe fact that people were allowed to smoke in the garden sitting area. The pillows could do with replacing.
We really enjoyed the open sitting area in the garden. The cooking facilities were also very good and we did enjoy the breakfasts.

United KingdomThe room I stayed in did not have a bathroom, and the outside bathrooms were not always clean. The triple bunk bed setup, non-functional plug sockets, and the lack of an in-room bin—requiring you to go outside to dispose of trash—were disappointing, and the wifi was unreliable.
The hostel features very kind staff, an ideal location, and a clean, well-equipped kitchen. The included breakfast is delicious, showers provide hot water, and there are plenty of places to relax and exercise. Additionally, they offer a wide range of activities, helpful assistance, a great laundry service, and towels are provided.

United StatesThe beds weren't the most comfortable. Kind of like the plastic mattresses you'd get at a kid's camp, but pretty beat up. However, everything else was so nice that I'm not even mad about it.
I am a big fan of this hostel. The outdoor lounge space is one of the best I've ever seen, and their evening activities were very good for getting to know other people at the hostel. The staff is friendly and helpful and they have a whole book with information about the local buses, which is really hard to find elsewhere.
