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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

TaiwanNot very friendly staff…and also not eco friendly. (Threw away all the bottles of shampoo and shower gel from previous guests, other hostels usually would save those bottles in case the incoming guests need it.
The bunk bed is huge, and they offer breakfast which is very thoughtful.

United KingdomThe staff weren’t very welcoming, the breakfast lady was late so everyone was waiting for her to arrive which delayed plans for the day waiting. My room was on the top floor and the stairs were a bit steep to carry my heavy bags up. Unfortunate. There was a homeless encampment outside which I was a little worried about coming back at night but it was actually quiet and fine.
The bed was comfy and it was really close to the Rogers Centre for a Blue Jays game! The free breakfast was good once it came out and it was good that I could leave my bags when I checked out.

BrazilThe check in time is very late (3 pm) and the check out is at 11. There is no possibility of an earlier check in even if you have a flight that arrives super early. The staff could be more friendly, they rotate a lot and most of them were not very kind. There is a homeless camp in the square right in front of the building, we didn't have any problems with them or any odd situation but it is worth mentioning.
The location is great! You can go walking to CN Tower, Rogers Centre, Scotia Bank arena, Chinatown... there is also a metro station near by and it's close to Union Station. Breakfast has a good selection of basic itens and the kitchen has all the necessary utilities if you want to cook. It's a good money for value option. I booked a single room with a private bathroom and it was great for a short stay. It was a lot cheaper than most of the hotels in the same region, the room is small but has everything we needed, the AC worked well. We were able to leave our bags in the locker before and after check out.

United StatesBathroom could be bigger and newer. But it functioned as intended - shower for showering, a sink and a toilet.
Location is just a 20 minute walk from Union Station Bus Terminal. The walk is through skyscraper neighborhood, I felt safe walking there around dawn. The hostel itself is across the street from a park where it looks like there is a homeless encampment? There were a few tents there in April 2024. Its existence never made me worry about my safety. Dormed beds are fine. Nice privacy curtains.

United StatesI did not like the extra charge due to late check-in. The bunk beds do not have charging stations on the top beds.
Great location in the city centre with easy access to the metro and street car, and other attractions. The breakfast was fine; just dry cereal, tea, coffee, fruit, and light snacks. Juice would have been nice.

United KingdomThey take your bank card details and keep for weeks, as a guarantee x any demage . It does not matter how long you stayed and when you left. They should check straight away at the time of check out and destroy the data. All those weeks I don't know who has access as the reception staff was changing every few hours. I was served by night security officer. Unbelievable .
Location, services, good WiFi. I stayed only one night. Recommended

CanadaThe safes in the room were locked and not usable as far as instructions read. We had a short stay so we didn’t bother asking for help with same. The booking site said it had ironing facilities and we were banking on using them as we were coming straight from an airport and getting ready for a wedding. They informed us that they no longer have them and we used my hair straightening iron to the best of our abilities. We were in a more private room (which was kindly switched for us) but it was very hot on the highway level- we had to open our window and there was no screen on the window. It was worth the flies coming in to keep it open though. Small things- definitely affordable and would still recommend staying there for location, price, and kind staff. The lobby was clean, decorated nicely.
The staff were very helpful and accommodating :)
