How is my 'Average Rating' calculated?
We calculate the rating on based on Stayed date (aka Arrival Date), not reviewed date as follows:
6 months β re-introduction of the 6-month if your hostel has had reviews in the past 6 months
12 months β if you have not received reviews in the previous 6 months
18 months β if you have not received reviews in the last 12 months
You can see your average rating on you Hostelworld page, as well as in your Hostelworld Inbox

Or on-line on Hostelworld.com :

* Sometimes, you might notice that some reviews arenβt visible on Hostelworld.com but do appear in your Inbox. This usually happens because the reviewer chose a different language when submitting their review. To view all feedback, select βAll Reviews translated into Englishβ to display every review.
