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.).

LithuaniaThis was the noisiest room during our stay in Iceland. I couldn't sleep for half the night because there were noisy guys checking in, and the soundproofing was very poor. It seemed to me that someone was rolling stones on the floor.
check-in was easy, great kitchen with everything you need, nice view from the window of both the room and the kitchen

JapanNothing much, really. Well, it is a "hostel," so don't expect a luxurious room with private bathrooms.
Value for money is incredible considering the extremely high prices in Iceland. Facilities are kept clean despite being shared by many travelers. Despite being a hostel, there is a hair dryer and a small sink in the room - which helps for quick needs such as brushing your teeth and setting your hair.

ItalyA bit of chaos in the common bathrooms, people left their wet towels there and didn't tidy up before leaving (wet floor). Anyway, the bathrooms were clean.
Very tidy and clean, both the private room and the common rooms (kitchen and tables). Exceptional position in the country in the middle of nowhere, absolutely peaceful.

IndiaThere was no proper exhaust in the kitchen and even in the dining area causing the smell of cooking/food to spread throughout. The knives were not sharp. They should add more pots/pans in the kitchen considering that people take out the entire pot with them while dining and only clean and put them back after having food. They can also add black out curtains in the room, because it doesn't get dark during summer months. Some of the showers didn't have a floor towel.
The room was good and clean. They have a big dining area and three separate kitchen of different sizes. Kitchen was fully equipped with the necessary utensils, but you need to bring every thing of your own (even salt/sugar etc.). Even though all wc/showers are shared, they were clean and enough for everyone. Considering that it is called a hostel, I didn't expect such good facilities.

United StatesThe property was easy to get to, however, please note part of the road is not paved. It wasn't an issue, just for information. The community kitchen and dinig spaces were suffcient. There were enough facilites as well, so there was no queue forming as such, outside, there is a lake with a bench that can be enjoyed.

United StatesIf you are not a smoker, you will suffer till 2 am. The base area for smoking is just literally the main entrance to the building. You can imagine what you smell every time someone opens the door. At night, it’s problematic to as well. I lived on the 2nd floor just above the entrance (smoking base area). It was awful till 1-2 am until all those people went sleeping. I still can’t understand why it was so hard for the owner to move the smoking area a few meters farther from the entrance.

SloveniaThe kitchens weren't the cleanest. There was a huge group of people travelling together and they were extremely loud and disrupting during dinner time and the next morning during breakfast.
Big parking space, three kitchens and a spacious shared dining room. The room was small but clean and comfortable. There were enough bathrooms and showers and since we are at the end of the corridor it felt like we had a private bathroom.
