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.).

United KingdomNothing really, it was a very nice hostel.
Hostel is very well located. Bars and restaurants nearby but it isn't noisy in the hostel itself. The layout of the hostel is really nice with a relaxed and comfy communal area in the middle that makes it very easy to meet new friends. I was travelling solo but met some great people from this hostel and had such a great time in Helsinki with them. Everything is really clean, decent kitchen area. Beds are comfy and have power sockets and lamps at each bed.

There are quite a few to manage the no. of guests living in the space. 2) Toilets itself are seperated. Also quite a few to manage the no. of guests living in the space. 3) Kitchen... 4) Common area to watch tv, read books and eat. The space is cozy and clean. 5) Luggage storage area as long as u return before 8pm. Service: I checked in rather late and it was nice that the staff emailed and also via the booking platform, the 2 pins needed to enter the premise. Self checked in by following the necessary instructions. Location wise: Very central. 10mins walk from the railway. Lifts to get u to the level its on.

IndiaThe property was hard to find. When I arrived it was a Saturday late at night and the street was crowded since there were few night clubs. There was no sign of the hostel on the road. Very difficult to locate
The property was very neat and clean and provided slippers and shoes were kept at the entrance. Nice kitchen and clean toilets. The front desk lady was very helpful. Nice lounge area

Very lovely location. Just downstairs for a lot of drinking establishments but they didn't make a lot of street noise. If you continue across the main boulevard and around the block was a much nicer area very close by f or evening activities. Also super close to the Rex museum which was great! And the public library is not to be missed.

Everything! I arrived very late at midnight. As a solo female traveler I was initially very concerned, but unfortunately the airline changed the flight schedule and I was left with no choice. The hostel staff provided a very detailed instruction on how to get to the hostel from train station, and assured the safety in Helsinki. I was very impressed- the instruction is super clear, easy to follow, and also the hostel is quite close to train station, and the whole area is very safe, and it’s busy area too, so still quite some folks/travelers walking at midnight . Also the hostel is very efficient, checkin instructions is clear too. Nice common area, etc

United KingdomThe hostel vibe was really quiet. Which is good for resting in the night. But even during the day, the common room was used for smart working, which was not helping the socialisation with the other people. Also, a common breakfast would have helped create connections and a good vibe. Also, the lockers of the room are super noisy. Every time someone was opening and closing the door, it felt like an alarm clock who woke up every one in the room.
The location was great, well connected with everything. The hostel was beautiful and clean. Room very comfortable.

MalaysiaThe quantity of shower room and toilet is quite limited, which getting "busy" during "peak hour" in the morning and night. The toilet bowl is too close to the wall, which is a bit uncomfortable.
There are hangers available at the wall of each bed, which is quite different as compared to other dormitory hostels. There are 4 quantity of sockets for each bed which is really great.
