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.).

Germany-the rooms were a bit tiny so you have to put your backpack in the lockers. My backpack fitted in but it could be a problem with normal luggage. -Apparently also (supervised, teenage(?)) kids during school trips sleeps here too. Not a bad thing per se but just nothing I‘ve seen in hostels before. They had their own dorm/room I guess. I’ve just seen them in the common area.
Everything is clean. security is super high, you need to use you card 3-4 time to get to your room. The staff is helpful and do organize some evening events to socialize. Plenty (Gender separated) toilets and showers. When you are in the women only rooms you can access the woman’s bathroom area directly from your room.

SpainIt was a short stay, so I couldn't make the most of all the hostel's offers, but it is a very good way to socialise if you're travelling solo or with friends. It is very well located and there are supermarkets, restaurants and bus and tram stops a few minutes by foot. Rayen in reception was extremely friendly and nice, and I really appreciated it as a solo traveller. Soroush was very nice and helpful in the morning, too. I will definitely come back if I ever travel to Budapest again.

GermanyWould be even better with some sort of room spray available, or other method to have fresh air in the rooms. My shared bunk bed room had a very strong smell due to the smelly shoes of fellow travelers, and the windows didn't open far enough to let enough fresh air in to compensate
Great experience

Singaporethe toxic artificial scent that permeates the entire lobby ! I had to hold my breath. Its the only negative experience staying there.
Card system for locker. The design of the room where you are only facing your locker and not your roommate. The bunk beds were huge and very well made with double curtains and ledge for putting small items. Spacious and good air con. Good kitchen.

My stay at Maverick Central Market Hostel was excellent. The place is clean, the location is perfect, and the atmosphere is very comfortable. I especially want to thank Luis, who was extremely helpful and even provided me with a lock for the locker so I could keep my belongings safe. Great service and a really enjoyable experience. Highly recommended!

United KingdomThe staff were so friendly and helpful! One of the members at reception spent 5-10 minutes helping me go through a map of budapest and point out all the best amenities in the area. The beds were comfy and the bathrooms were really clean too - plus lockers were keycard activated so no need to use a padlock :)

AustraliaCleaners come into your room even when nobody's checking out. The floor doesnt have to be vacuumed every day guys.
Pretty solid bunks (custom made, so you dont get woken up every time someone tosses or turns), rooms are indeed pretty soundproof. Bunks have shelves and a light. Nice lockerspace. Kitchens are cool, nice rooftop space.

United KingdomMinor things, the bed was squeaking and the upper bed only had a metal rod as protection from falling and it wasn't fully fixed (hence I asked for the lower bed). But as mentioned, it's minor, this is an exceptional hostel, well-thought through, female only rooms, etc.
24 hrs reception, smooth check-in, I could swap my bed for a lower one, hooks, curtain around the bed, shower gel in the shower, free towel, AC, quiet (considerate roommates, yay), good location. Plastic room card to open doors, in some room also for the luggage storage.

PakistanGot a private room and honestly had an incredible stay. Location is pretty central. There’s a spar just a block away and plenty of scooters to make your way to the center of town. Rooms were spacious and clean. They even offer turndown services on request. What sets this facility apart is the staff. Everyone was incredibly helpful. Suzy, one of the girls at the reception went out of her way to cancel an airport shuttle for me at 2 in morning. Definitely recommend staying here.

Very social. They organize events every day for guests. They clean daily. You can cook there. There is a rooftop with a pretty nice view. Good location, near everything.
