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.).

United KingdomProbably the two things I’d improve are: 1: the bed was a bit uncomfortable, you could feel the springs a bit. They could do with replacing but not massively uncomfortable. 2: AC would not be a bad idea. I heard others in a room without a window got quite hot overnight. There were a few broken door mechanisms etc as well in the shared toilets, so this could be fixed.
Modern, clean place. Private room with window was nice.

ChinaNot close to anything else, though this is more a problem of Astana. Though clean, the toilets were often lacking toilet paper. There is a bit of a jostle in the morning for a desk and chair because so many people remote work there. No hostel vibe and big signs forbidding alcohol consumption
All private bedrooms, nice big kitchen, plenty of toilets and showers. Very convenient for a longer stay, especially with a good supermarket around the corner. Close to the monuments and national museum.

KazakhstanThe stuff was ok, but not so friendly. When you sleep in the room, you can hear everything what is outside of your room, sometimes you hear smn is talking in their room, and every signal in the common hall.
The location is good. You have pharmacy and “Small” supermarket close to the hostel, which is very convenient. The showers and toilets were clean, without bad smelling which is a pro. They gave a free towel.

UzbekistanRoom was quite warm with no way for cooling it down. A fan would be useful.
Very comfortable small space in a new hostel with great modern facilities. Having a small private area is so much better use of space than a similar sized area in a dorm. The showers are excellent as is the well-equipped kitchen. Close to supermarket and restaurants and short walking distance to the National Museum.

United KingdomOne security guard on a power trip decided for no particular reason I couldn’t eat at a certain table. The rest of the staff were nice but he lets them down. Fire him. The showers could do with a hook and I’m not sure about the glass doors in a mixed bathroom! The room was sometimes a bit hot to compensate for the temperatures outside. Perhaps a fan would be a good idea.
Small but cozy room. WiFi was excellent. Good location near the National Museum. Staff excellent with the exception of one guy (see below). Some nice cafes and restaurants within a five minute walk/slide on the ice. Very clean.

Brazilwhen I arrived at 4 AM it was almost daylight, and the curtains in the room did not work properly, they were half broken, and even after it was fixed, it didn't shut the complete glass window
The cost benefit was good, the facilities were clean, and other guests were extremely quiet. I needed to check in at 4 AM and there was not an issue. The address on Google maps is kind of weird, it makes you drive through some roadwork instead of the easy way.

United Arab EmiratesNow for the very disappointing part. I requested an early check-in, and while I understood that rooms might not be available as early as 5:30 a.m., I wasn’t allowed to check in until past 1 p.m., despite several empty rooms being visible in the morning. I had to sleep in the café and lobby area like a homeless person. People there are not friendly or accommodating. The rooms are small and you can hear all the noise from outside. Despite the fact that there were empty rooms on the quieter side near the female restroom, they placed me in a room next to the laundry room and the male toilet. As a result, I was woken up early by noise from the laundry area. And some male guests kept their room doors open for ventilation. They could have placed me near female restroom and not with the men. I could understand this if there were no empty rooms on that other side but i checked and rooms were empty there.
The employees are very unhappy there, and I don't blame them. I used to work for a five-star hotel, and I would say this place seriously lacks motivation. Of course I don't expect five star service in a hostel but still this is a hospitality business so I'd say they really need motivation. The male receptionist was kind enough to offer me a tourist guide booklet and a map, and the female receptionist helped me book a taxi — both of which I appreciated. The cleaning team is doing a good job, as the place is very clean.
