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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

DenmarkThe shower drain was clogged and the toilet seat was broken. We also, unfortunately, experienced rowdy guests during our stay, but cannot fault the hostel for that. Slight noise from the street could be heard
Fantastic location in the middle of the old town, close to many main attractions of the city. Very comfy bed and easy self check-in.

SloveniaPlease change the old mattress, even u added a soft sponge on it, that can't give the body any support. I felt very sore after a night. Maybe add a reminder of the silence timing to all the guests it's a good idea. Since there's no reception at the night, I need to directly complain to the noise guest.
The location is directly in the centre, near by the viru gate.

United KingdomIt is pricy for a room (not a dorm). I unfortunately booked a non-refundable room then checked prices for a hotel room (with breakfast and private toilet) and the price difference for 2 nights isnt huge. Hence, I regretted that as this room has a shared toilet and no breakfast. My drink was removed from the refrigerator after making sure labelling the item.
For a backpackers hostel, i didnt expect the touch of chocolate and nicely arrange towel on my bed. The bed is comfortable, location is excellent; however, have a somewhat scary lift.

NorwayThe bed headboard creaked very loudly when you touched it with your head. Not so good when you forget this in the night and lean back while sitting up in bed. There was no soap in the bathroom when we arrived but it was after staff had gone home so there was nobody to ask. A bit important especially for a shared bathroom. It turned out that the street is one of the busiest tourist streets so it was a lot of noise and music late into the night. The hostel has a jar of free earplugs at reception. We slept fine with earplugs but be warned if you are sensitive for sound especially in summer. We needed to keep the window closed for the sound even with earplugs but it was then very hot. There was a fan in the room probably for this reason. It would have been very nice to have a kettle on our floor. We were two floors above the main hostel and then it's a hassle to put on shoes and unlock the door and go out and lock the door and go two floors down and unlock the door and take off shoes and then make tea and then have to wait and drink it there when we wanted to just have some tea we could take to our room. No decaf tea or coffee options, something to consider? :)
It was clean and comfortable and had a good atmosphere. They did a good job to remind people with signs of how to respect the common spaces and quiet time. There is a common kitchen and some games and there are hairdryers and some other things to borrow which was useful. The bed we had was big and comfortable. We had a double room. The room was quite minimal but with tasteful furnishing and decorating and with nice lighting. It was easy to feel at home. It was nice to be high up off the street.

CanadaWe arrived to Tallinn earlier and needed a place to store our luggage until the check in time. Our impression was that we can store our luggage at the location until the check in. There were no instructions sent to us with instructions how to get into the location. The hostel personnel could be reached by phone call only and we had Wi-Fi gadgets only... The instructions for the check in were sent out precise after 15:00 (check in time). If you need a place to store your luggage until the check in time you need to correspond with the hostel in advance (by email or in WhatsApp) and get the exact location of the place and instructions on how to get into the place.
It was an easy check in and easy check out. Elevator to our floor was a bonus! Right in the Old Town historical part of the City with a beautiful view on the old town buildings from our room! We spend many ours walking around and taking photos of the Old Town. It is very convenient to stay close to all the city attractions within walking distance. It was easy to order a taxi to the airport to the nearby lounge for the night pick up, the taxi is very affordable there and it was on time.

United KingdomHaving to remove shoes upon entering, up 2-3 flights of stairs. Because they have private rooms it's much less social and less likely to meet other travellers. Room the toilet was in was very small and could barely move and the since was in the next room.

The location is amazing and within the city walls of the old town. Large family room with a view of the walls and the Old House bar. All cooking facilities are available and you can use the laundry to wash and tumble dry clothes. We booked in advance by 6 months and the price was great value for money.

GermanyThis is an old house and that means that for example the bathrooms smell a bit mouldy (didn't see any mould though and they are clean) and the airing for the bathrooms is really really loud which can be annoying when your room is close to them. When people talk in the communal area, you understand every word in your room. But those are all things that I think should be expected for that price and in order to change them, they would have to invest some money. They should get new beds though, the bed was really really uncomfortable. Overall though, I think this is exactly what you get for that price and they are friendly and helpful and offer all kinds of support.
The hostel is located on Viru street which is a perfect location. The room was nice looking and there is a communal area with couches, a kitchen with everything you could need and several bathrooms. The staff was super friendly and helpful and communication was easy. When travelling on a budget, this is a good choice.
