How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Nothing.
The building was pretty, with many toys in the garden and a playground. The staff was so hospitable and the breakfast area and breakfast were impressive. They also had a fountain with free mineral water and sparkling water. We felt so welcome!

Some young (older teens, younger college age?) hostelers were very noisy coming in. They were respectful when confronted by others. Would have liked a place to leave unused items (coffee, jams, unopened fruit, etc) for other hostelers. Suspect room was not swept under beds by previous guests, but only a little bit of dust under there.
Nice to have our own sink. Wooden furniture felt homey, beds were comfortable, blankets warm. Had nice amenities, such as games, ping pong, kids play room. Nice cafeteria. Great breakfast included. Well run and organized.

Desk hours were a bit strange, so upon arriving we had to snoop around to find a staff member for check in, but they graciously welcomed us. THERE ARE NO TOWELS IN THE ROOM! Ask for one at check in... there's a charge.
Spacious (lots of parking, grass area, nice common rooms), family friendly (even a kids room with fun toys for toddlers to maybe 8 or 9 years old), friendly staff happy to help with any questions or needs!

No air conditioning. It was hot and stuffy in the room. Towels were not included within the room.
Staff was very helpful. They were able to speak great English. The breakfast option was large. Great location in proximity to food and train.

We took the DB train, and the Hostel was under a 5 minute walk from the train. The staff are so professional and kind. The decor is bright and welcoming. We walked (sunny, warm day) to the island- about a beautiful 15-20 minute walk. If you don't bring towels , you can rent for 1-2 Euro each. Rooms were bright, clean, great. On check out day we went to the mall right next door. Even though "everyone' goes to the island, the mainland is quite lovely. We were able to walk around the mainland, and grab our bags and get our train. Great. Breakfast was simple and easy.

It was supposed to be silent between 10PM and 7AM and no alcohol in the rooms, but it was still very laud at midnight with drinking parties in the rooms. The stuff did not have any information about the parking in Lindau and the hostel parking was full. The doors in the hostel are all very laud.
Good location.

Beautiful building, lots of attractive communal space to use and relax in. The room was basic as you'd expect with a youth hostel, but very clean and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was fantastic and I can highly recommend paying for the evening meal too. Loads of choice, lots of fresh and healthy food, good choice for vegetarians. Really good value.Great location for train station ( we were backpacking) - handy for local supermarket to buy picnic food - only a 15 min walk onto beautiful Lindau Island.
