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 StatesYou can hear the party in the dorm (at least in mine 6-bed female), but they do offer plenty of free ear plugs so wasn’t too bad.
Friendly hostel with various spaces to hang out in (bar, kitchen, kitchen patio, and secret garden). They also provided lots of free food (pasta, rice, sauces, fresh veggies) and a good breakfast spread. Staff were all super nice!

United StatesI wish that the beds had curtains but I was fine without those. My room was on the bottom floor next to the garden where at night it’s very busy, so until about 1 it was pretty loud, but nothing terrible. While I was very glad to have access to laundry facilities, the drier did not completely dry my clothes on the normal setting.
The location was great, and the property was a lot of fun, they have everything you need for a nice stay. The rooms were comfortable and the bathrooms had a nice layout and were clean. The staff was very friendly. There was laundry on site which was very much needed for me, and it was a good price too, 9 euro for washing AND drying.

United StatesHad to make my own bed, which was a little challenging on the top bunk but okay
Amazing hostel. I cooked all of my meals for free at the hostel. They provide free pasta, sauce, a bunch of fresh veggies, bread, pastries, etc. Definitely one of the pricier hostels I have stayed in, but having food covered was a huge perk. The town nightlife is coming to the hostel, so it is very lively every night till around 1. Dorms were very clean. They had a secret garden with hammocks which is a very nice place to relax away from all the people who are in the main area.

DenmarkFirst time I encountered triple bunks in a hostel, and must say construction wasn't great: the bunks are built out of metal tubing and don't seem bolted to the walls, so any movement on the lower bunks translates into a lot of swaying at the top. Do try to ask for a lower bunk.
Exceptionally friendly staff, extremely well located and very nice central courtyard.

PakistanIt’s an old building so no elevator. Once has to drag the luggage up and down via stairs. Although it’s mentioned on the hostel page that they keep luggage free of cost (pre checkin or post checkout) but the girl at reception charged me 5 euros for that.
Pretty little hostel at a great location in como. Just a 2-3 min walk to the lake front and a 5-7 min walk to main ferry terminal. Welcome drink upon arrival. Backyard is bustling with energy and vibe.

SingaporeNo towel provided, you have to either bring your own or rent from the hostel
I had a fantastic experience at Ostello Bello! One of the best parts was the abundance of free food and cooking ingredients — from pasta and sauces to spices and more. It made cooking fun, affordable, and a great way to bond with other travelers in the well-equipped kitchen. The atmosphere is super comfortable, with plenty of cozy corners to relax, work, or meet new people. It truly felt like a home away from home. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready with a smile and great tips for exploring the area. Another big plus is the location — it’s just a short walk to a supermarket, the ferry port, and the bus station where you can catch a direct bus to Bellagio. Super convenient for planning day trips around Lake Como!
