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.).

It was clean. Wifi worked. The room had even a mirror and hangers. Close to the Viking line if you come/go by boat.

The rooms are big and you get enough space for your belongings. Easy to get to the city centre walking or with a tram next to the Hostel.

EstoniaRelatively expensive for hostel. Shared bathrooms are not my preference but for sure, this is typical for hostels.
Location is very good, close to the city center in a quiet and nice residential area. 24 h desk, pleasant service. All clean but it also depends on the other guests. Plain rooms, clean bedsheet. Great that have good curtains to protect during white nights. Nice common area, possible to eat breakfast. Strong wifi.Morning sauna.

PolandEverything was fine. :-)
The location is very convenient - very close to the city centre. But the best is the tram station just next to the hostel. The tram goes straight to the train station or other parts of the city. I love the sauna in the hostel, which is free of charge in the morning. I felt there like staying in a hotel, not a hostel.

SwedenThere were no hooks or shelves in the shared bathroom where you could put your clothes while showering. The mattresses were rather hard, but we slept well anyway :)
The location is absolutely perfect! We arrived by boat from Stockholm, and it was only a 10-minute walk from the ferry to the hostel. The neighbourhood is calm and safe, and in a mere 20 minute pleasant walk you're in front of Helsinki's iconic white cathedral.

MalaysiaThe shared bathroom is quite small. There is no hanger available inside the shower room and you can only hang all your clothes at the hangers outside. The shower head is also not adjustable.
The location of this hostel is almost at the end of tram line no. 4, where its surrounding is queit and less crowded with tourists. You can board the tram towards city centre with less crowded inside the tram.
