How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewNice neighbourhood and location
Hostel is attached to a cafe so often the common area is just full of the staff, very loud music from the cafe into the hostel and most guests were working on laptops all day so not too social

Verified reviewIt a nice hostel in a good neighborhood. I found the bed comfortable, the toilets and showers clean.
Unfortunately, the room with 6 beds I was had very poor ventilation, making it hot during the night. While each bed had its own ventilator, they make a terrible sounds. Maybe other don’t have a problem, but I could not sleep because of the noise. The kitchen could be also improved.

Verified reviewNice people. The new cleaning lady was really sweet, and very helpful with me in the kitchen. Lots of different common spaces, including a roof terrace, and a ping pong table. Comfortable bunkbeds and lots of locker space. Each bunkbed had it's own electrical outlet, fan, reading light, and little shelf, which was really nice. Felt like a very safe neighborhood.
Check-in took quite awhile.

Verified reviewGood location, let me park my motorcycle inside at night. Good kitchen and well stocked. Closer to shops etc. cafe downstairs does great coffee. Comfy bed.
It shares the common areas with the customers from the cafe. Not necessarily a bad thing, I was just surprised. They place music pretty loud until 9 and then later on the weekend.

Verified reviewReviewed: 19 October 2024 · Stayed in October 2024
Verified reviewI had a private room and bathroom, which was comfortable and good air con. The room was spacious and included a "closet" area outside the bathroom with shelves to hang clothes and store other items. The shared kitchen was well stocked with plenty of plates, bowls and coffee cups, both large and small. It even had 3 blenders.
The staff was not terribly friendly and didn't seem to speak English. My room was probably the furthest from the common areas and wi-fi was not too great in the room. It seemed to be better near the kitchen. The hostel seemed to be intertwined with the coffee shop next to it, which played music all day. I could hear the music in my room throughout the day. Fortunately, it closed early evening, so sleeping wasn't an issue.

Verified reviewIn a great location with lots of bars, restaurants and cafes.
Our room didn’t have a curtain so was bright when getting to sleep. The fans are also very noisy as they are right next to your head
