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.).

AustraliaMay be a positive for some, but it was almost empty of people, so not really any opportunities to speak with other hikers.
It’s huge, was not expecting how large the facilities were. Incredibly clean bathrooms, plenty of space to get changed and whatnot. Well equipped kitchen. And the rooms were spacious.

United KingdomSheets and towels aren't included, though you can hire them. The front desk is only staffed until 3pm, though check in was straightforward as they sent information on how to get your key card. Just make sure you get in touch beforehand if you need sheets.
I hadn't heard of STF before but now will try to stay at them when I travel in other parts of Sweden. They had great facilities - big well equipped kitchen, dining room, lounge area. This time I stayed in a single en suite room and last time in the dorm room. The rooms are basic but clean and have everything you need. The staff were really helpful. Had all the facilities of a good hostel, but most rooms aren't dorm rooms.

FinlandYou can really hear anything going on outside of the room so earplugs are highly recommended for light sleepers. The toilet had a smell of sewage.
My second time staying and this time I had a single room with a shower and access to the rooftop, it was very nice. Good size room as well. Also discovered the kitchen and common area which were cozy and accessible.

FinlandIt is very basic but you have what you need to manage. Breakfast and sheets are not included in the price (but can be purchased upon request). The room was small but clean, however the pillows and covers were quite old. It would have been nice if the shared toilet had some basic commodities like shower gel and hair dryer etc.
Very convenient location right next to the Mid Sweden University campus. Good for a short stay, calm, decent price and helpful staff

GermanyThere are just 2 showers for ladies and they‘re not super clean. So better bring some slippers for the showers.
Very good location and super friendly staff! I booked extra towels and sheets and it was no problem! The kitchen is super well equipped and there‘s a nice dining area as well as comfortable chill area. The bed was fine and there were a lot of nice people. Had a great time!

GermanyI wish these hostels would have a little bit more basic cooking ingredients on hand, they had salt, but sugar and some oil would've been nice.
Everything was clean and the atmosphere was friendly. It was located right next to the center of town as well.

FranceThere should be restrictions and penalties for the cars and drivers that make -intentionnaly- loud noise at any time (just in the parking behind for instance). Other guests I've talked to complained they couldn't sleep well because of the noise. I do know it is not the hostel's responsability at all, but maybe some people upper should be aware of this, and take more action (by giving the police more means).
It's good to feel like home.
