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.).

BulgariaA great budget option in central Bratislava. One of the main attractions of the city - The Bratislava Castle is very closely located. The self-check-in was easy, and the overall feeling of the hostel area is nice. The rooms are a little dark with no windows, but it was okay for one night.

BulgariaThere's no access to natural light, so this might be a bit bothersome, but if you're using the room just to sleep, it's fine. There's not really a good isolation, so if neighbors are not respectful about noise, it could be a trouble.
To be honest, we booked a double room with private bathroom in Old Town Hostel only because this was the only available option during a very busy weekend in Bratislava (the AC/DC concert), that didn't cost a ridiculous amount of money. What we ended up with was actually ridiculously cheap and we weren't disappointed at all. The public space of the hostel is great, the location is perfect to explore the old part of the city on foot, close to shops, restaurants, etc., water pressure is good, room had AC.

BelgiumThe airconditioning was a lifesaver in summer. Very clean shower with good ventilation and decent water pressure. Comfy beds and clean soft towels. The room felt homey. The common areas were spacious and nice. There's a machine with basic necessities and snacks where you can pay with card. Cat cafe and convenience store literally nextdoor!

United StatesRoom was a great, economical option in Bratislava. It's all done by 'self check-in' with no staff support avail, but the process to get in was fine. We didn't have any problems, but did see staff around in the morning which was nice. Lovely part of town. Eat at Four Seasons down the road -- amazing and lovely little bistro.
