How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewI like the room, comfortable and private. It is like a hotel room for me even it says hostel. There is microwave and kettle. The bathroom is private inside and clean too.
The fact that it is like in an industrial park and a bit far from the center so do not expect accomodation like restaurant or groceries nearby but there is a bus stop right next to the building which makes commuting easier to go to center.

Verified reviewGood place to stay for a short trip. Totally digital hostel, very convenient. Clean, comfortable. Located among industrial warehouses rather than a residential area — not exactly convenient. But the price and comfort of the room totally make up for the location.
The housekeeper opened the door 15 minutes before checkout, when I was just half dressed

Verified reviewExcellent rooms, simple but modern and clean and functional. Quiet. More power outlets than I have seen anywhere- very handy to charge things.
There isn’t 24 hr contact, staff responds during day hours and phone seems to be only available during working day hours. Surrounding is industrial but the place is very close to airport, bus station and not far from downtown.

Verified reviewIt's exceptional value for money.It's definitely more like a 4 star hotel than a hostel.It's the best hostel I've ever stayed at and I've been to various places around Europe to compare it to.The rooms are big, the bathroom luxurious and the kitchen facilities are really good.It was really clean, quiet and a really comfortable stay.Tallinn transport is a real credit to the city.The hostel has an excellent bus link to the city center,easy to get to the airport too.It's a real credit the owners of the hostel & it would be really good if the bus stop next to hostel could be name after Espak itself, which I'm sure they could persuade Tallinn Transport to do.One evening even the bus driver drop me off right in front of the hostel so I didn't even have to walk from the bus stop to the hostel.
The only thing I would say is that you need to definitely bring provisions with you if you're coming at night as there no immediate shops near to the hostel.There is a R Kiosk near the place however I didn't use the facility as it looked liked it was within an industrial site.The place is not within a touristy place hence the value of where the hostel.The value of the hostel and what you receive in terms of facilities far outweighs everything else.
Thank you for your feedback.

Verified reviewMissing information that owner is living in same apartment - next room. So it mean that apartment is shared.
Sorry, but your comments are not understandable. All rooms are separate.

Verified reviewThe hostel is difficult to get to without a car/ a taxi. It is located in the middle of a building supplies warehouse or something similar. The hostel itself is quite good but there is no restaurants/ tourists ' attractions near it. Only a huge building market on the other side of the road.
Thank you for your feedback.

Verified reviewThere was no breakfast or other services and no amenities. The room was clean and comfortable enough. Bus access was nearby, but a twenty-minute ride to the center.
The location! NOTHING nearby, like a coffee shop, a restaurant, or a convenience store.
Thank you for your feedback. The café is located about 200 meters away, around the corner, in the territory of a building materials store. Open on weekdays.
