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 StatesSince it’s a shared space, things can get a bit messy and noisy depending on the other guests. It lacked some cleanliness compared to what you’d expect at this price point. For a hostel, it felt a bit expensive, and aside from the location, I didn’t see much reason for the higher cost.
The hostel has a very chill vibe, which is great if you’re looking for a social and laid-back experience. It’s not a standard chain hotel, so you get to meet all kinds of people, and that mix of personalities can be fun and interesting. The location is also excellent, which makes it convenient for exploring the city.

United StatesBathrooms could use more attention (stopped up sink in annex, no TP in bath house room. Bunks need to be tightened occasionally so they don't move and squeak so much. A small shelf for phone, glasses, etc at bunk would be nice.

United StatesLimited restroom - there are multiple times I had to walk around looking for restroom. There is only one restroom in Annex house. Not fun having to run to Lucas house and then the bath house and every one is occupied (only 5) My mattress is extremely squeaky. I could be just moving my arm to scratch my shoulder and the whole room will be notified of my movement.
Convenient location, friendly staff, respectful guests, rich amenities. I slept well most of time

NetherlandsThe old house is very atmospheric, although some areas could do with renovating. Synthetic sheets and lack of personal lighting around the bunk beds.
Excellent location and friendly staff. We were made to feel very welcome by Nix and Christine. The complementary beer was much appreciated. The food truck in the backyard serves tasty Mexican food. Bonus: taking a sauna in the bathhouse.

United StatesIt's a Hostel, so as always expect to need earplugs, and maybe an eye mask.
The food and drink options near the Hostel are amazing. It's also a really short walk from Downtown. The folks staying there were really nice, and there was always something to do.

United StatesMore than the ideal number of people sharing a single bathroom. If anyone had been sick, it could have been a disaster.
Convenient location. Conveyed the “funky” Bend reputation. As a hostel, there were a lot of people in a small space and sharing a bathroom, but it was clean, remarkably quiet. And tall seemed to work. The price was unbeatable, and it was much more interesting than a standard inexpensive motel.

CroatiaThe only bad thing was that none of the rooms have bathrooms, and on the whole floor with 5 rooms there was only one bathroom, with one toilet and a shower. If it was occupied, there was one upstairs, and three showers in another building, which is not very practical.
The crew was the best! A lot of different young people, very kind and always happy to help. Every night there was a different event, I went to open mic night and saw bunch of amazing performers. They also cook lunch every day and you are free to eat. Wifi was perfect, as well as the location of the hostel.

United StatesThe noise from nearby thoroughfare was quite obtrusive at a very early hour. The loss of two big trees will be missed for their shade & beauty - very dusty & hot on that side of the hostel.
The house is perfect as a hostel, rooms and accommodations were just as expected - homey, tight clean & simple. Good use of this historical building. The extra outdoor/included amenities- sauna, beer & food trucks, music, fire ring give the place a feeling of ease & retreat. The staff was efficient & kind, and the 'volunteer' residents did their appointed jobs well.
