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.).

United StatesThe locks on the doors are SO LOUD. The old fashioned keys are cool and all but it seems like everyone was struggling to get their doors open and the walls are very thin. Also anytime my partner would open the door at night I would immediately wake up with how loud the door was.
Almost everything was great about our stay at Vík Hostel. The bedroom and kitchen came equipped with everything you might need in a hostel, the bathroom was clean and well maintained for the most part. All of the animals on the property were so sweet and fun to play with. The breakfast was really really good!

NetherlandsThe room was getting too much noise. Even though every guest were warned as being quite after a certain time, due to the room being on the corridor, was getting very distracting from sleeping.
Very lovely hosts. The check-in and out were very smooth and fast.

United StatesStaff isn't really there most of the time. For the amount of people staying there, two showers is a bit of a stretch. One of the toilets wouldn't lock, the door was too big for the frame and wouldn't close all the way
Price, location and deals with local restaurants were great. The shoe dryer was a huge plus. The included breakfast was delicious.

United StatesTowels were scratchy, being tall (6’) the blankets didn’t fully cover me, which was a little annoying. The space is pretty quiet, but they had something running in the reception area that drones and you can hear it from every room in the hostel.
Included breakfast and location were delightful and perfectly situated to explore Vik and the surrounding area.

SwitzerlandThe room only contains 2 beds, no chairs, no hangers, no light next to the bed - these things would be good additions to the room. The floor in the room was quite dusty.
Nice hostel with decent facilities (kitchen, bathrooms) and a nice view onto the town and the ocean. The breakfast at the hotel nearby was tasty.

CroatiaWe stayed in a 4-bed room. The room was super small, not enough place for 4 suitcases. Be prepared for the "morning alarm" - roosters are in the garden just next to the hostel and they are super load.
The breakfast was really good, with fresh bread which was a nice surprise. Common kitchen and dinning area is nice and clean.

United StatesThe staff wasn’t there at all. i asked for a bottom bunk and didn’t get that. the people in my room snored loudly so I didn’t get much sleep at all. that isn’t the property’s fault of course. bring earplugs, though. there were not enough showers and bathrooms and they didn’t feel that clean. there were geese outside making noise during the night. i wish there was a bigger, warmer living room type area for travelers to gather in. all power went out at once. one person staying there did call the staff and they got it running again quickly but didn’t apologize or check on us at all. not having any staff there just doesn’t feel very welcoming.
The house is very cute and cozy. It’s in a good location. The breakfast was included (this is rare) and really delicious! plenty of vegetarian options!
