Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

AustraliaNothing bad really. The only thing I would change would be to isolate an area to hang out after lockdown time at 10 or 11 pm. Otherwise you don't have anywhere to hang out after that time other than in your room. Again this is not something negative itself, it keeps the night quiet.
We stayed in a 3 beds room with my friends. We had private toilet in the room. It was clean and tidy. Nice place to stay while driving up or down the coast.

Very nice and helpful staff. The outdoor common areas are really nice and nearly everything is under a roof (which was good because it rained quite a lot).

AustraliaI have my favorite rooms, I'm going to stick to those from now on. The rooms near the kitchen were too noisy for me with people visiting and talking next to my room. They were nice enough to move to the general reception area and I finally fell asleep. Thanks guys!
Always clean and the staff are amazing!

United KingdomOnly thing I probably wouldn't book this room in summer because it only had a fan and was front facing so it did get some heat. Staying in April it was fine though and for the price well worth it.
This hostel has a really nice feel to it, I felt welcome and comfortable. Lady at reception was excellent! It's centrally located, I could walk to get some dinner just around the corner. The room and bathroom facilities were clean and cosy. I got a private room and it was perfect for a night's stay.

All the facilities and the common areas. I think that even the rooms were very clean and very good mood. People were nice and it's good to have a hostel where you can feel at home because it's not a big one in terms of rooms, but you still have spaces.
