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.).

AustraliaBit hard to find. As it is not correct on booking map. Go further down the alley on the right hand side (47 D. Hoang mai i think) keep an eye out for “Time Hair salon” the hostel is above this business (hostel is not affiliated with the salon, but you have to walk through it to get to the hostel stairs) .Google maps is closer… but still incorrect. The shop was shut when i arrived. So either arrive in business hours or bang on the shutters like i did ^^. (Ps be careful who you ask for directions, as a group of people on the last bend, deliberately told me the wrong directions, one even offered to take me there … wherever that was ..)
Good price. Comfortable bed. Close to bus and train. Nice man at reception.

ThailandThe only thing I don’t like is my bed was not clean like there was someone checkout before me and then give bed to me right away, not sure about this but the bed seems a little bit old.
Quite far from city, I have to take Grab bike to get there but it’s okay because it’s not far from southern bus station which I have to go the next day. All facilities was there you can use. A/C was nice and there was a fan on every bed. Bed was comfy so it’s worthy for the price this cheap.

PolandLocation is a little bit far from the city center (but it's not a problem, because it has a good bus connection). Air-conditioner didn't work while I have been there. Owners don't speak English, but they know how to use translator app. The gate is closed at night, but it's not a problem, because you can just use the bell, if needed.
Price is very low. Location is close to a bus stop. A fan over every bed.

Hong Kongneed to walk rocky roads to get in. also the ground floor is a hair salon and I did not expect that the hostel was on the first floor so you need to go inside the hair salon first in order to reach the entrance to the hostel...And of course you need to climb a few flight of stairs to get into the room as you are in the old town where the buildings do not have lifts.
cheapest in hanoi. there is bus 36 travel between the hostel and hoan kiem lake.

Vietnamdue to the price this place attracts a type of guest who is very bad. one guy was having a very loud phone call from 6am, the room smelt of smoke, you need to go through a hair dressers to get to the hostel which is strange. very far away from anything in the city if you don't have a bike
Very comfy bed with a curtain, light and personal fan in every bunk bed

FranceThis hostel is conveniently located if you need to stay a bit outside of Hanoï city center traffic. The mattresses are wide, thick and confortable and you have a privacy curtain, electric plugs, a fan, a light and a locker for each bed. Decent bathroom with hot water. Many small food options around at better prices than in the city center. Thong, the host, makes sure your bike is safe for the night if you travel by bike. There is no parking but you hace few spots to park just by the hostel building. Make sure you have Google translate installed to communicate with him. NB : The first floor is a hairdresser salon, the hostel is in the upper floors and there is no commun area, except maybe the roof.

VietnamIt's nothing like the photos. It's super dirty, there was a small cockroach on my bed. The toilet and bathroom were disgusting. There's a rooftop, but nothing special. It's hard to find. I found it because I followed the directions from a guy here on the reviews. If you check out early in the morning be sure to tell them in advance, otherwise all doors will be locked.
It's close to the international hospital, that's why we went to this hostel. The owner is nice.

Austria- There is no common area AT ALL. - You have to walk through a hair salon which was extremely weird. - The room was dirty and the bathroom was gross (was maybe the roommates fault) - The location is not good, very far away from the center. - I don't know why but there were old creepy men and disrespectful men sleeping in the dorm. As a girl alone without my partner I would have never stayed there. They had no manners at all. As a hostel owner I would definitely have an eye on who stays at my place.
To be honest, the owner was friendly. But that‘s it.
