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.).

Spainif it is something you want - we didnt care - this is not a place to socialize or hang out. there are virtually 3 tables on the terrace and no common spaces that would invite any interaction. it’s a transit place, people are basically passing by. there are many many people, even families with kids.
the rooms and beds are great. each bed has a curtain, socket, light etc, the room has a lot of light and is well ventilated. there are digital lockers too. the breakfast is a big bonus, toast with jam and peanut butter, various types or cereal with fresh milk, coffee and tea. the bathrooms upstairs are big, all bathrooms are modern and cleaned regularly. overall very clean given the number of people. unbeatable location. great value for money.

GermanyNot that many restrooms and showers to use when hostel is fully booked. Other than that nothing to complain about.
This is a very nice hostel to stay in while in Singapore. The beds are comfy, the rooms are quiet. There's breakfast for free. The WiFi is working well and you can walk to a lot of places from here. I slept like a baby.

SwedenNothing to dislike, you just need to have the right expectations. The issue of not having an elevator should be clearly communicated, but I believe it was.
Great location and convenience of access. The room was comfortable. The place has a hostel vibe, but our private room was conveniently located near the showers/bathrooms, which were clean.

IndonesiaThere was no elevator, but it’s located in 2nd floor. So be aware when you’re carrying heavy luggage. Wish they have mirror inside the female dorm.
The location, very close to Chinatown MRT st. Female dorm. Breakfast included in the price. Towels and blankets included in the price. Was possible doing early check in (i arrived around 12 pm). They have locker and the key is automatic, so no need to rent key lock.

IndonesiaSome male guests walk around without wearing shirts. Some female guests only wear towel when going to the shower/bathroom. I think management should ban, or at least discourage, this kind of behavior. It is a hostel not their home. Other thing is normal common courtesy: guest entering common room at very late hours (almost dawn), listening to their social media feeds without using headphones.
Very close to Chinatown MRT. Literally right across the street.

JapanThe curtains around the beds didn’t close completely, so privacy felt limited. The bed sheets felt a bit thin and low-quality, and it got quite hot inside the bed area when the curtain was closed, likely due to poor ventilation.
I stayed here for four nights and had a fairly pleasant experience. The hostel is clean and feels spacious. there were 4 toilet and shower in each floor and were well-maintained/cleaned. also having a personal locker for security. AC was strong. Despite some issues, it was a decent place, especially if cleanliness and space are your top priorities.
