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.).

IrelandBathroom facilities are a bit small and limited.
Located on the outskirts of the city, but easily accessible by tramway (the closest stop is a 5-minute walk), very clean hostel (immaculate), with very comfy beds, even with an ergonomic pillow from Ikea!

BelgiumThe sheets were a plastic-y material. It would be great to have the option of female-only dorms.
A comfortable stay in Zurich. Very clean. It looks like a house that has been turned into a hostel. The kitchen was well equipped. The location is about a 15-20min tram ride from the center (and the tram station where you get off is not far from the hostel)

PortugalMy only complaint is that the bathroom facilities are on the lower floor, so if you're in the entrance-level floor, you'll have to go downstairs everytime you need to take a shower, brush your teeth or use the toilet.
Loved my stay! I travelled for a scientific conference that happened in the University of Zurich and decided to stay here. I was assigned a very comfortable bed on a 4-bedroom, which had big windows and places to store your stuff. The host was super kind and we always had tea available free of charge. There is a livingroom with couches and a big table, and a functional kitchen that we could use, including a fridge. The rooms were not too hot nor too cold and very clean. The hostel is a little far away from the city centre but the excellent public transport made it a breeze to travel inside Zurich.

NorwayThe location is quite far from the city center and main train station. I found some bugs in the bathroom. The beds have curtains so there is less privacy.
Good enough for a one-night stay. You have to remove your shoes and use slippers that they provide. There was a portable AC in the room. They provided a towel for free. The staff spoke limited English but tried to be helpful and to keep the facilities clean. As a tea drinker, I really appreciate the complimentary tea, with a good selection too!

United States- Inconvenience with other guests, mainly with noise and limited spaces (both in the bedroom and amount of bathrooms) - The hostel is located on a hill so access from/to train station is a workout
- Very clean and well maintained places, beautiful outdoor garden seatings. - Sweet and responsive staff, easy check-in.

GermanyThe bunk beds were tiny.
I came to Zurich just for one night for a concert, and it was very easy to get to the hostel from the railway station, and then to the venue, and I had my train super early the next day and getting to the station was again super easy. For me the localisation was perfect. Toilets and bathrooms were very good
