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.).

GermanyThe pressmatic button from the shower got broken while I was showering and I had to press constantly because the time was REALLY short for a shower.
The staff's warmth, responsiveness, and friendliness were incredible. The bed, although a little firm, was comfortable and provided good privacy.

New ZealandThe only negative for me was the airflow in the bedroom. You basically have to choose between windows open with airflow but LOTS of noise, or windows closed with disgustingly hot but quiet room. I had ear plugs so noise wasn't an issue for me but others in the room without them literally demanded to have the windows shut! Disappointing that some people aren't up with the play and don't bring ear plugs to a hostel!! Maybe a fan in the room or complimentary ear plugs could help solve the issue. Otherwise, many thanks!
Definitely one of the best hostels I've stayed at! Love the decor and vibe. Lots of communal space to relax if you feel like staying in. Great location in Lyon, for trendy shops, cafes, restaurants and bars. Close to several metro. The staff were lovely and helpful and I think this friendly vibe encourages the guest to do the same. My 10-bed shared room was clean and spacious, as were the bathrooms.

FranceMy dorm room was on the corner, and I’m not sure if the noise came from the bar or from people in the park across the street, but it was extremely loud all night. Since it was very hot, I had to keep the windows open for air, which made it even harder to sleep with the noise carrying in. Then the bin men came very early in the morning, so I didn’t get much rest at all. Good place just with the heat and lack of earplugs made it a hard stay.
Great location!

LithuaniaCan get noisy if you open the windows. And depending on the room number you can be pretty far from the bathroom.
Perfect location, nice and cosy hostel with breakfast possibility and little bar snack downstairs. Room spacious and comfortable just it was noisy outside because of air-conditioning machines. But other than that perfect for the price paid.

United KingdomThere was construction going on right outside the room with lots of sound disrupting sleep; a warning would be helpful. The bed could be comfier. The kitchen could be slightly better equipped in-terms of pans and pots; there is only one induction hob so getting to cook takes time.
The hostel is quite clean overall; staff are very friendly. Rooms are big and spacious and well-equipped. The eating and lounge area is really nice. Nice clean toilets and shower facility.

TurkeyThere are under-the-bed cupboards to lock your stuff in, but our 70L bags did not fit- which could have been a problem if we stayed more than a day. The duvets were not the cleanest- i decided to use my own one that ı brought with me. the location was okay overall- close to some popular spots-, but the neighborhood was not the best- we woke up in the middle of the night to screams, so keep that in mind. The public bathroom and toilets is not for the weak- I waited in line to even wash my face in the morning because it was too crowded- but this is something that may happen in every hostel especially in busy seasons.
The staff were great- nicest french people I have ever met. The location was fine- easy to reach from the main station with bus and 10 min walk to the touristic square. 24h reception. The hostel was very aesthethic- great for my aesthethic girlies

New ZealandThe kitchen is quite small. It’d be great to have a bread toaster. There weren’t any tea towels to dry our dishes. Some scissors and a few small chopping knives would be fantastic.
Breakfast was fine - it’d be great to have some none-cow’s milk yoghurt, cheese and milk options.
