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 squeaky bed
Very central location by The Barbican and Florian gate right by the old town. 10mins walk from Kraków Glówny central station where you can get direct train to the airport and Wieliczka salt mine cave. The hostal is lovely and quite new. Super clean and appreciate the basic breakfast. I stayed in the 4 bed female dorm which was very comfy with lockers, shelves to put things and nice window view. They provide nice bedding linen and best of all it's quiet.

TurkeyThe beds are extremely uncomfortable. Some bunk beds had two beds. Mine was one and thin. Therefore, it was very uncomfortable. Also iron bunk beds make a lot of noise. It makes excessive noise when you move, it is impossible to sleep, especially if there is someone in the down bed of the bunk. I also stayed in a room for 10 people for the first time. Overcrowded, so the noise was not missing for 24 hours, people are very incomprehensible. And it’s getting so stuffy.
The location is excellent and close to the old town. The staff is good and helps with everything.

MyanmarThe address of the apartment is different from the Hostel. It is about 5 min walk from the Hostel. You need to register first at the hostel and get the keys. If you arrive after 10 pm, an instruction will be given to you on the day of your arrival where to get the key. But you still need to go to the hostel the following day to check-in. It would be good to have a staff that does the check in at the apartment building since there are staff there who does the breakfast. Also, it would be good to mention all these in your profile.
The location is walking distance to the bus/tram stop, Galleria Mall and the old city. It is also close to the fresh market. The apartment is clean and the bed is very comfortable. They are very responsive to inquiries. There is also a variety of breakfast meal.

GermanyToilet and shower room couldve been better
The location is super top, less than 10 min walking distance from train station, directly across the old town, and next to tram station. Hundred of restaurants and stores were around. I stayed in a 4-bed dormitory room, and it was really spacious. There was also a washbasin inside the room, so I didnt need to go to the shower room to wash hands or face. Internet connection was fast and reliable.

GreeceWe had to use the single toilet in the hallway and it really surprised me because I through there were more. This way you had to wait for it to empty, it was clean though, however keep it in mind! Also the showers were okay, but I still used my flip flops when I showered:)
The rooms and beds were really comfortable. The kitchen had everything, including free breakfast between 8 and 10 a.m. (unfortunately we didn't make use of it because we feft earlier). It was really welcoming and cozy. Also it is super value for money! Our roomies were perfect (6bed women dorm)!! Highly highly recommend!

ColombiaI stayed in the 12 bunks room and didn't appreciate it much. It was too crowded but the worst part was the noise and comfort for the beds. Every time someone moved the whole bunk sounded and the mattresses were very old and uncomfortable.
The location was great. Very close to town center which makes it very convenient. Easy way to get in and out at any time. For the low price it was ok. Breakfast was very simple but good.

SerbiaThere should be more showers and toilets, because sometimes a line would form during mornings or evenings. Only two toilets and three shower stalls serve the entire hostel. Towels are not provided free of charge. Also, beds have no curtains and you need to put your bed linen yourself. The floor in most of the hostel is squeaky, which is especially annoying if somebody moves around the room at night. In my experience, the hostel is not very sociable, which is helped by the fact that there is no real common area.
The great advantage of the hostel is its location, as it's pretty close to the city center. The room is spacious, since they didn't cram more beds than needed, which is worthy of praise. Wi-Fi is alright and breakfast is included in the price. Although kind of basic, the breakfast is sufficient and a nice addition. Luggage storage after check-out is allowed.

The hostel corresponds to its price. The location is a great aspect - right in the thick of everything. They really try to keep the hostel clean, always tidying it up, which is appreciated. In general - it's okay, but I wouldn't recommend a long stay.
