Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

CanadaWhen u enter how tight the main entrance was & there is alot of wear & tear that needs to be touched up . I was shocked when ur getting booked in ur told no alcohol,smoking or drugs or sex but ur booked into a room with the opposite sex. That was surprisingly disturbing the alcohol smoking drugs I completely understand. But if no sex the opposite sex shouldn't be sharing accommodations. That's a risk of sexual assault.

New ZealandAt times the toilets were a mess but that’s because it was a big night for people within the hostel. The rooms could use air conditioning instead of the heater that we couldn’t figure out how to turn off. The rooms were so hot at night, we had to keep the windows open and with that is the noise of the street outside. Location is great however the bar underneath was loud.
It was in a location near a lot of the landmarks and public transport, fairly clean, great staff. Great location if you are in town to party and socialise.

FranceOn your arrival, you should have the option of choosing if you want a quiet room or noisy room. There is a bar just under the rooms and it was difficult to sleep (vibration & noise). I was directly assigned to the noisy room. The curtains in the room were useless (the upper window was not covered at all), and the sunlight came into the bedroom at 5/6 am. I was not able to have a good night between the noise and the light. The washroom on the first floor was so tiny that you needed to put all your clothes or stuff on the toilet doors. There was no space between the shower and the toilet.
The location was good, and all the staff members were nice. Oreo, the cat, was approachable. The kitchen was big and well furnished and they had good seats in the common areas.

United States of AmericaWashroom facilities are cramped, clunky, and a bit worn. Showering tended to be a drag as it's like being in a phone booth. Yep, most evenings it's pretty loud due to the bar/restaurant which I did not visit but noticed it's very popular...I knew that ahead of time by reading reviews so opted to go out to avoid it. If you are looking to sleep early and in a quiet setting to get up early for a hike or whatnot, this place is not for you. I always travel with earplugs.
Staff was great - helpful at checking in and accommodating me and my needs as I use a CPAP for my sleep apnea. I enjoyed the clean and comfortable kitchen and meeting friendly travelers. Hostel is located in a good location, easily accessible to bars, restaurants, public transportation and other points of interest. I mostly walked everywhere, which was fantastic. Pretty good value for the price.

United KingdomYeah I thought that I was tougher than everyone else on here talking about the noise - I wasn’t 😂 first night had bass going through my skull until 2am. If you plan on going out though (as I did the second night), then it’s no biggie and the hostel is fine

Great location and friendly staff. We realise it's a heritage building, so it does appear to be an aged building. Can appreciate it but some people might not.

CanadaBar below was noisy (music/bar noise) so it was difficult to unwind and fall asleep. I was on the floor with the resident cat and found the hallway smelled like stinky cat litter. Showers take 5 mins to get hot. Shower stalls are tiny.

Canadaabsolutely not worth the amount as listed. I paid about $150 for a room with just a bed. no side table or desks, literally just a bed and two metal stools, which would totally be fine but not for that price. Everyone was super friendly and kind but the rates are outraaaageous

CanadaSqueaky beds. Doors do not insulate from sound so when residents walk to bathroom all night one would hear the steps on the old wooden floor. Staff is hell bent on "no food in the room" - I ate an apple on my way out in the morning and this immediately triggered staff member.

CanadaA little loud above the bar, but that's to be expected with the party hostels. The washrooms on the 1st floor are tiny too, not much breathing space between shower and toilet.
Accessibility and great price. Cleaners constantly in and out of the kitchen and bathroom, women's washrooms are locked for extra security. Oreo was pretty chill too.
