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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 Arab EmiratesNothing really, place is a find!
Eben, Mary & Irene are keeping it amazingly friendly, and the place is always spotless clean. Water, tea, and coffee are complimentary, and the area is packed with good restaurants and supermarkets. There is a common area to eat, watch TV but there is also a quiet work area. The location is walking distance from the beach as well.

KazakhstanBunk beds are metallic. I expected wooden ones. Property has only one bathroom on each floor compared to high number of guests it is not enough. I used to wait 30 minutes sometimes to use the bathroom.
Located close to Corniche beach, popular fastfood restaurants and supermarkets around. The staff are friendly and making nice conversation with funny jokes. A private courtyard to rest but its open without a shade, could be hot to sit there during daytime. Dormitories are well conditioned and clean. Kitchen has all necessary to cook your food.

United KingdomExcellent accommodation, very clean and comfortable. Great atmosphere, shared spaces are well maintained; perfect for relaxing and ideal location for transport links. This hostel is top choice for anyone visiting Abu Dhabi, could not ask for better. It is close to beaches and many wonderful sights and attractions. For your day to day needs, everything is in the local area; most necessities are within 15 minutes walking distance. The kitchen is fully functional and very well equipped, always clean and ready to use. Spacious bathrooms, very good showers; hot water is always available. The beds are extremely comfortable, air conditioning is a welcome bonus especially in Summer season. The laundry service is excellent value for money, very fast and reliable; the best I have experienced in any accommodations. All staff are a true pleasure, friendly and welcoming; very hardworking and dedicated to providing the best experience for all guests. I cannot fault any of them, they are wonderful. Special mentions: Dorcas, Comfor, Mary Joyce, Vicky, Abdul Eban, Juan and Ayman I appreciate you all, the hostel would not be the same without you; you are the most amazing people and truly essential. I hope to see you all again soon

Papua New GuineaNothing I can think of.
The space and everything was top. We initially booked another villa, however Boroski assisted moved us to another one that will suit our group. We were given the whole room to ourselves - we were 8 of us. The kitchen was clean and space was big. Bathroom was well maintained and cleaned. The staffs were very friendly and kind. Comfort collected our laundry and was done on time. We love it here. It was very close to the Corniche beach. We walked around the neighbourhood to explore without any issue.

DenmarkNo sign outside, hard to find. Not a traveller vibe hostel. Most of the guests are there for long term work or looking for a job. This makes it hard to meet people. The staff is helpful but it seems that you bother them more than anything.

United Arab EmiratesOnly issue is that their is lot of noise around the ground floor rooms as people are chatting even after 10pm till like 1pm and most of the the room doors are kept open and some time even the lights are on. So it's very difficult to sleep because of this hassle. Might be because the crowd who is staying may not have stayed in the hostel before and don't know the hostel rules.Lots of Arab national like Egyptian and Syrian.
I have been a regular visitor to this hostel now for almost 9 months .Everyone is very nice.And always tries their best to give the lower bunk bed.Almost every week i book this hostel for 2 nights due to my business trip to Abudhabi. No complain about the staff .

United StatesThe wifi was a constant issue while I was there. Most of the people living in the accommodation said they don't use the wifi for this reason. I didn't buy a sim card so I had to suffer through it for working. It was up and down, usually good enough to survive a video call.
The location is pretty big if you count the entire area of inside and outside which is nice. The working area on the second floor is hard to work from though since the voices from downstairs travel upstairs as well. The bunks in the males only room is nice, they have a locking cabinet underneath just bring your own lock. The beds have curtains as well which is nice. Kitchen is large but most people there cook, so prepare for lots of people in the kitchen. Free coffee water and tea is nice though.
