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.).

CanadaYou simply cannot beat the location. You cannot get any closer to all of the main attractions. I would absolutely stay here again in a heartbeat! Rooms are spacious, I liked that there were no bunk beds. First hostel I have stayed in with no bunk beds (and I've stayed in quite a few!). The staff were lovely and very helpful. I had a rental car and parked it in a lot they recommended down the street. I can't wait to come back and stay again!

United Kingdom- Honestly, the shower mat sucks. If they could improve one thing, it would better shower mats because they don't take much to be completely sodden.
- Amazing hostel for location! The view from my room was INSANE. Everyday i'd wake up, and go to sleep and in a short walk from my bed i'd see the Duomo. - It was super hot outside but the hostel was pretty cool inside and provided nice respite from the heat. - I liked the kitchen, the common area and the outdoor terrace which was very peaceful at night. - Rooms are reasonably comfortable, I like the single beds vs a bunk bed. - I'm not writing this as a negative but you're literally above one of the most walked streets, it's kinda noisy but I mean you're literally in the centre of Florence! it didn't keep me awake, tbh I thought it was prettty cool. But you should be aware, it's not a quiet room:)

The location is perfect: close to the main transport station, perfect for exploring the historic highlights. The room was spacious, really "A Room with a View". Nice common kitchen with terrace (and free coffee). The staff were very friendly and extremely helpful, they gave us excellent recommendation! They let us leave our bags before check-in and after check-out ...

United StatesWow! No elevator. 50+ rather steep steps. My suitcase was so heavy I needed help. I'll pack better next time. Will definitely go back.
Wow! Super place. Comfortable and the staff great and very helpful. Centrally located so easy to get to where we wanted. Close to main train station where we rented a car.

IndonesiaAlmost none. Just a couple of very minor thing: I think it's better if they can give clearer label on the trash bins to help in separating the waste, also providing stickers/label for foods in the fridge.
The staffs were lovely! They're super friendly and helpful. Bathroom and everything else were sparkling clean. I stayed in their shared room and I got a very spacious room (not the typical bunkbed room!) and big locker (dont forget to bring your own padlock). Very nice common areas (especially the outdoor space) with free coffee and tea. But the best one is the location! Just a few steps away from the market and the church, also close to the terminal. But still very quiet in the evening. They also have 24 hrs reception.

IsraelThere was more privacy with the dorms on two levels, on the other hand it could make it difficult to get down with stairs (during the night when no lights in the room and it make noise)
The location is good, the staff were nice, the property well equipped, there is a nice terrassa
