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.).

Netherlandsone big downside to this hostel is the music played continuously. There is no place where you can sit quietly. It would be so much better if the music volume were turned down, start later on the day (not 8 a.m!) and if they would also allow for an hour without music.
the mattress is the best I had in Vietnam. staff is helpful and skilled. good food in the restaurant. an excellent hostel

United KingdomNoisy at night as it's a party hostel. Food more expensive than restaurants.
Very comfy, private beds. Good locker. Great social space with fires (to make up for the cold weather!). Free water refill. Very helpful staff.

United KingdomThe scooters were terrible, old and not serviced correctly. Ours had terrible brakes and caused us to crash. We used bicycles from then on.
Loved the hostels facilities with the pool table and table tennis. The staff were friendly and kept the fires going during the evenings.

BangladeshThe light in the room was very dim.The bathroom lacked body wash or shampoo which is usually provided in many hostels. Also, the inner part of the locker is dirty and the lockers are interconnected from the behind which isn't comforting for many travellers.
The location is superb

MalaysiaIn the dormitory, there's only one toilet - something to take note if everyone is rushing to check out and some may not have enough time for showering and brushing teeth (bathroom and washroom together and we usually locked the door for our own usage) and it takes turns I wasn't aware of the common washroom until the day of my checkout, haha! The common washroom is good to know for those who have toilet rush after waking up - maybe staff can inform us when we check in
This common area feels like a resort or a clubhouse, people are just enjoying and taking it easy There's an in house bar and restaurant which looks cool (although I didn't explore much) I am the only Asian backpacker here - and yet I'm welcomed by many westerner backpackers Knowledgeable and helpful reception - they address all our questions immediately Spacious baggage storage area, if you have valuables like laptop bag u can ask reception to hold it for you at their counter which is safe Locker right below bunk bed, very convenient Resort styled toilet Don't look anywhere - just book this place at your convenience, it's right next to tam coc boat station and lots of affordable restaurants outside of the hostel Generally people do not take advantage of tourists here, so worry less about overcharging unlike in Hanoi
