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 are 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 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.).

UkraineThe reception is on the 1st floor with no elevator and the rooms are on the 2nd and 3rd floor with no elevator as well - take care if you have heavy luggage.
Perfect location in the city centre, everything you need in the room - big towels, kettle, cups, glasses, tea&coffee, iron and small ironing board. There is hair dryer, soap and shampoo in the bathroom. The staff is extremely helpful - I had issue with lights because I put on kettle and iron at the same time and Martina came to my room, even though it was late in the evening, to solve the issue.

United StatesCouldn't seem to turn the heating down and the fan was a little noisy.
location was excellent, right off the main square with lots of good restaurants and bar downstairs. Room was large, super clean, had a coffee machine, really good shower (that played music?!). There's a club downstairs (didn't look too interesting) but you can't hear it at all in the hostel!

Polandi asked to check out a little later so I could wait for my train comfrotably, but the receptionist told me it wasn't possible (no clear reason, obviously it doesn't take 4 hours to change sheets in a small room). this was the only disappointment with the hostel.
a nice room in a good location. quite a loud area, but that wasn't a problem for me. the staff was really helpful and let me leave my luggage as well as check in early. good shower.

PolandThe only problem was that there was only one key for the room, and it was locking from the outside so if you forget your key inside the room you need to ask the receptionist to open it for you. other than that everything was great !
Location was super great it was near market square. the room was super clean and spacious, I even managed to work a little bit and have a remote meeting with my college.

United KingdomAt night you can hear a music sounds (very low bass), probably coming from a club or bar nearby. The walls are quite thin as well, which meant I heard noises from next door trying to plug something into the plug points.
Clean, comfortable, professional staff. Very close to the market square. Has amenities like towels, kettle, coffee cups. I had a study table in my double room too which was very convenient. Shared toilet was really clean. You can store your items after checking out, but it was a shared space which had no locks-so store at your own risk.

United KingdomIt was hard to find the check in as there was no signage. We went off a hunch. There was also 'danger' tape across the entrance which made it confusing.
Location was incredible. Room was cosy and warm enough but couldn't figure out how to change the heating controls. Everything as expected. I would stay here again.

United KingdomPerhaps it was an individual error for failing to properly research the hostel's location, however we were unaware that it was located above a nightclub, nowhere on their website is it signposted and it is not easy to tell from a map. Therefore, it was very noisy, especially being on the first floor, in room 2, the mattresses were also uncomfortable and cheap, meaning that neither of us slept well for the duration of the stay. Perhaps the hostel should provide earplugs.
The room was clean, with adequate facilities. Tea/coffee making facilities were an unexpected bonus. Hairdryer and soaps were a nice touch. Location is very central which is helpful for collection points for excursions, and exploring all sides of the town. Plenty of restaurants and bars nearby. Staff were polite during interactions.

PolandThe location is very good as it is near the Rynek Główny (main square of Krakow). The room was very nice and cosy and provided all the necessities. The bed was also very comfortable. In general, the quality of the room was very good and the price was also very nice! At the reception they gave us a small map with directions to the room which was located in a different building which gave some treasure hunting vibes! Overall, I recommend this place!
