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.).

CanadaOn the first day, I couldn’t fall asleep because I was hypersensitive, but by the second day I was able to.
The kitchen and breakfast were awesome!! I lost my glasses and the staff were very friendly and sent them back to my home after they found them. I truly appreciate their thoughtfulness and effort!

Great location near Stanley Park, beaches and Davie St on your doorstep. Granville Island and Downtown not far away either. Breakfast good and extensive.

AustraliaLike all accommodation in Vancouver, hideously expensive, especially without a private bathroom
We got the last room in Vancouver at this hostel. Bed was a double, so small, but it was a comfortable mattress. Breakfast was basic but more than adequate. The area is a safe feeling neighbourhood

ColombiaRooms had not air conditioning, instead a ventilator which was too loud and was difficult to get some sleep at night. probably a bigger storage would help also
The staff was very nice, the facilities were well maintained, and the bunk beds were updated, not old or crushing, in addition each bed had its own electric point and a single lamp that worked (some hostels don’t have that), The location was excellent because it’s the affordable option in downtown. they had an elevator wich helped a lot with heavy baggage.

Australia-No aircon. Room was an oven. If you're travelling in summer, reconsider. Was far hotter inside than outside which made for an uncomfortable sleep. I was only here 3 nights in august but I dont think I could have lasted too much longer. Maybe ask for a room on the lower floors as they could be cooler
Pros -decent location. Very walkable to davie st, sunset beach, English Bay -good value if you're thinking vancouver prices, however vancouver pricing terrible value in general -decent breakfast (boiled eggs, fruit, cereal, yoghurt, pancakes, toast, jam, juice, coffee) -bathrooms reasonable and clean -Lots of available tours and activities (for a price). Make sure to check the board as the staff are friendly but not as good as advertising and pepping you up as other hostels

United Statesyour door closings are noisy - can't sneak out of your room. You can quiet the door when you're in the room closing the door. There was a mouse in my room. (I was raised on a ranch, so what)
location to things, busses, subway, etc. It was great. I was alone in my room most of the time. One girl came in to sleep about 5:00 am.

CanadaMost part of the stay was greag except for these two items. 1. The mattress wasn't comfortable and needs replacement. 2. I saw a rat in the kitchen which is a major concern with the hygiene.
The location is perfect, right in the heart of downtown. The rooms and bathrooms were clean and always stocked. The breakfast is great and very fulfilling.

United KingdomOne of the nicest hostels we have stayed in. It was quite expensive for a hostel, but accommodation in Vancouver does not come cheaply. The room was large and bright with a sink and towels were provided. The bathroom and toilets were shared but we knew this when we booked. Both room and facilities were very clean. Wi-fi was good. Staff were friendly and helpful. A basic breakfast (cereal, toast, yoghurt, boiled eggs, juice, hot drinks) was available free of charge. Easy walk to restaurants, bars, etc. Would recommend.

CanadaBed was pretty hard and despite the fan in the corner it was too warm in the room for a good nights sleep but it should be noted we stayed here in July when the weather was quite hot so without AC this is unsurprising.
Easy and efficient check in, room and washrooms were clean and functional and hostel felt safe
