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.).

PolandHad to be careful a lot on those bunk beds (top one) because I almost twisted an ankle due to it not being very stable, although I think it's possible to change it to the bottom one so that shouldn't be a problem to others if there are not too many people.
The communication was great even before I arrived, all of my questions have been answered without any issues. After I got there, the staff was very helpful, friendly and understanding. The whole place was clean and comfy, especially the bathrooms, that's a nice change from some other experiences I've had with different hotels. The common area was my favourite thing due to being able to spend time with friends indoors and just chilling/resting. I deeply recommend, especially for a longer stay 🤍 also, I loved the balcony view !

EgyptWifi wasn't working in the dorm. The building entrance is dirty, the hostel itself is clean tho. If you need the AC, they only turn it on for just 2 hours.. Luckily I visited when the weather was still fine without AC.. but that's not sustainable in July or August.
Perfect location, delicious breakfast, the hostel itself is clean. Staff are awesome and cheerful very supportive. Even with some few glitches, I would stay again

Hong Kong- I stayed in a dormitory. It was equipped with bunk bed. The upper deck is too high for Asian people. I couldn't grap any objects on the bed when I stood on the floor. - To access to the Ithaka Raml hostel, you had to spot the sign " Fouad hotel" at the street. Or else you could not find it.
The kitchen was spacious and equipped with cooking utensils.

ItalyIt was a bit hard for us to find it at first, because there is no sign outside, so we recommend you better check the pictures of the building that are also here on booking and ask local people for help if you have difficulties.
The hostel is very clean and cozy. They have separate bathrooms for women and men and, as far as the female toilets are concerned, they were always very proper. The staff was super kind and friendly, they organised a very nice free tour with some young local people who showed us around and then took us to a little, lovely local restaurant to have traditional dinner together (Alexandrian style liver and sausages). The location, very close to the library, the seaside and the city center, is perfect. We highly recommend this hostel, it was a very nice experience.
