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.).

New ZealandBring earplugs as sound travels quite a lot at night.
Very charming hostel in a beautiful old building. Loved the vintage elevator and the wooden window shutters looking out onto San Polo. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay here.

RomaniaThe hostel is excellent value for money - it has everything you need, including a kitchen with plenty of fridge space. It is very clean and the location is good, very near Piazzale Roma and the railway station. The room was air conditioned, the beds were comfy and the sheets spotless, and from our 4th floor corner window we even had a canal view! The staff are just wonderful - very friendly, helpful and efficient. The terrace is also great for morning coffee and/or evening socializing. It's a charity rather than a business - it's not run for the sole purpose of making money, and you can feel that in the vibe of the place.

United Kingdomlocation is very near the bus and train station, very convenient if you are travelling outside of the island. however it is a 20-25 minute walk to the main sights on the island which I usually find a good walk but when i visited it was raining and was a storm which i found very far to make my way back to. not the fault of the property though, just a consideration for anyone wanting info about the location!
i booked for a female bed in dorm but got upgraded on arrival to a single room which was a lovely surprise! 😊 besides that, i found the shared toilets extremely clean for a shared hostel. there are also several toilets on each floor so you can move around if you don’t want to wait for a toilet or shower, but i didn’t face a problem sharing. there was an incident of unpleasant stains in the toilet bowl and usually they are not cleaned till much later but this was dealt with quite quick i assume by the cleaners. very quiet hostel as well, not a party hostel which worked to my favour.

UruguayI knew this when I booked so I don’t complain, but not having the typical hostel privacy curtains can be a little uncomfortable if you arrive late or wake up early and need to use some light.
Great location, close to main tourist areas but less crowded. Staff is super nice, friendly and accommodating. Shared spaces were kept clean at all times, rooms are spacious and the bed is comfortable.
