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.).

BelgiumI miss a table and chair for using my laptop. It will be much more convenience. Also, this time: the room was hot at night. While you can open the window, the opening is too limited to cool the room down. Even after 2 days keeping the window open, the room was still hot.
It is still value for your money. Lots of space for 4 persons. The room looks clean. We enjoy our stay in the room. The breakfast buffet was fair and quite extensive. It is enough to start your day. The beach is very close by. Just walk for 5 minutes and you are already at the beach.

BelgiumOverall Atmosfere in the hostel On my Birthday I came back to this hostel to relax a bit. When I asked the lady at the reception while half-joking if they offer a discount or something for a birthday? I got a dry answer back saying: 'no, that's not how it works in the world sort of comment'. Well, then it's time to innovate and follow the real world where it's common. In addition, something nice for the guests. Just like with other hospitality partners. Can provide more atmosphere, conviviality and people, especially in more calm periods where their are less guests. Spreading Positive Vibes and attracting more people and not scaring them away ;-) Just saying :-) After this stay, I looked for a hotel myself to give my birthday something extra. This was very successful! So here you go my suggestion(s) (sidenote: very cold in the rooms but that is subjective)

BelgiumNo table and no chairs to sit down. The beep-beep-beep sound of motion detectors in the hall. Why do they even need sound feedback when they detect motion?
The room is modern and has the basic needs to have a pleasant stay. It also has good amount of space to store our luggages. Breakfast was basic but good enough.

BelgiumWhere are the table and chairs in our room? We would like to play some board games but without a table, it was inconvenience to play UNO or Jungle Speed. Also, don't expect a comfy bed. The bed is a little too hard for me. I need to point out: looking at the price and the place itself: I was not expecting to have a nice comfort bed.
We stay there for 3 days and everything went smoothly. The room was clean, and it has the basic needs. The (cold) breakfast is included in the price. Hostel offers bread, breakfast cereals, fruits, milk, thee, coffee, milk chocolate. Every basic needs are there.

FranceNo AC in the rooms and ours was facing the sun. Bathroom is quite old and the shower head is fixed to the wall. No bath rug and the water was spilling everywhere. They provide a water broom to help. Stains on the wall and the duvets (which were changed upon arrival thanks to a nice lady).
Great location near the beach and lots of attractions and shops around. Breakfast until 10 with a decent amount of choice. Lactose free and gluten free options available which is really nice. Very spacious rooms, was able to work with no issue. Wifi working perfectly. Mattresses were ok.

BulgariaIt could have been nice to inform me in advance about the change of room. I did change the dates so it's possible that it was missed by the staff because of that.
The hostel is nice but unfortunately they could not accommodate me in the private room I booked. I was offered a shared dormitory room. It was okay so I opted for staying there and I had a good sleep. There weren't any issues. You could lock your valuables in the lockers.

BelgiumThe problem was the bathroom, the water is going everywhere so everything is wet and the absorption of the water was not really effective neither so there was a remaining level of water in the bathroom which is not really convenient especially when you have to share the bathroom.
The breakfast was diversified, you could eat both salty and sweet and you had a lot of different breads depending on your taste. The staff was welcoming and ready to help and answer all questions... ✨️

SwitzerlandNo hand soap in the rooms, no decoration (plants etc) no inside locking of the doors, you see the light of the corridor under the door and hear everything from the hallway (especially when there are kids screaming, but acceptable)
Easy check-in, friendly staff, the hostel is great located (10min to train station, 4min to beach, in the city centre) but also calm located. Comfy beds, great value for money. Perfect for broke interrailers

BelgiumBecause of the shower room is small, the hanging fresh clothes (for after shower) hanging on the wall will get wet if you are not being careful. The main room door is not isolated, so you will hear noises coming from the hall and the elevator. During my stay, I also here often some kind of beeping sound coming from the hall. Not sure what it was, but perhaps coming from a fire alarm?
It has everything you need for a basic, comfortable stay in a hostel. The rooms were clean, and the toilet were clean. The shower room is basic but too small. The breakfast was good enough to start the day.
