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.).

GermanyI get it that the restaurant below runs the hotel, but check-in at 16:00 is a little late, We wanted to get in the restaurant to sit there because we arrived earlier (15:30) but they don't even unlock the front gate before 16:00. It's a bit not nice when people arrive earlier and have to walk around with their luggage until they would be kind enough to open the restaurant.. (sitting there for half an hour would also help btw)
The room was clean and comfy.

PolandIt was a bit cold in the room as the windows are not that great. Blankets are thin and I was freezing a bit. Also, there were no sockets close to our beds.
This was my first stay at a hostel and I was very much satisfied! I was worried about having way too many people around, facilities, noise and the overall vibe but everything went very well. There was only one person with us in the room (8-beds room), facilities and beds were totally ok! It also was very quiet in the building so it was not what I expected, my expectations were much lower :) I also saw lockers for those who need them.

United StatesThe rooms are on the upper levels and it's a complete walk-up in an old, charming building with charming winding wooden staircase. If you have a large or heavy luggage that's NOT strapped to your back, then prepare to swear and sweat all the way to your bed🤣 No commons areas outside of the separate restaurant downstairs and no communal kitchen.
It was a decent stay -- nothing amounting to the glorious reviews of others -- and the staff were very helpful in communicating public transit directions over the phone! The hostel was super quiet and the WiFi, fast and reliable. I also appreciated that a towel was included with bed linen, and the showers were deliciously hot.

United StatesLack of a microwave to heat up water for coffee in the morning. This was the only disappointment I experienced there. You will have to go outside into the retail reality only a couple of blocks away. There are stores nearby, primarily take-out/restaurants, and a few supermarket type stores, notably a Denns BioMarket, which sells a decent fresh ground cup of coffee for €1.50. P.S. lockers in the room I stayed in should be larger and stronger. The locker is too narrow to easily put a bag inside its space, had to squeeze the bag in and the bag is only 12" wide.
Generally positive. The bunk bed was ok. The room's air quality ok. I slept well there. The door security system, street side entry door and the bunk room door very good. No problem using the numeric key codes to gain access. 24 hr Bldg açcess Surrounding neighborhood ok, nice park at the corner, a Leipzig commonly expressed attribute. Fortunately the hostel's restaurant/bar area is separate from the hostel accommodations. . Very laid back hostel management attitude, an attitude based on trust between mgmt and the client.
