Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United StatesBecause the mixed dorms are so small, it would have been nice to have curtains for privacy in the bunks. It felt pretty cramped in there, but that was to be expected. I also felt the facilities could have been cleaner, but I was only there one night to rest before more travel.
I enjoyed the cute communal spaces to get some work done or take phone calls. The other guests I met were kind, and the staff was super helpful with finding the bus and routes to my next destination.

SwitzerlandThe staff could be a little bit more friendly and there was so much vegetation on the window of our private room that we were lacking some fresh air. The fan helped though.
Would recommend to make a one night stop. It's next to the bus station and the outdoor area with hammocks and the kitchen is cosy.

FranceThe noise coming from the outside was horrible! We barely could sleep during early morning (from 4-5:00 am) because of the trucks which passed in the street in front of the hostel. The whole building was literally shaken each time a truck would pass and we were directly awaked accordingly ….
My partner and I took the private room option with shared bathroom which was nice but a bit pricey compared to similar rooms in Costa Rica. Overall the room and bathroom we clean but the kitchen needed some cleaning.

GermanyMixed Experience – Difficult Check-in but Nice Common Areas I had some trouble checking in at this hostel. I arrived in Liberia just before 11 PM and had already informed the hostel via Booking.com messages that I wouldn’t have internet and would be arriving late. However, when I got there, I was only able to get inside by sheer luck. The doorbell was apparently already turned off, and despite knocking and calling out for a long time, nobody heard me—until finally, a guest from the dorm let me in. When I mentioned this to the host, he simply said that it was already quiet hours. However, this was not stated anywhere on Booking.com, where it clearly says that check-in is possible until midnight. Given that I had also sent a message in advance, it was frustrating that my arrival seemed unexpected or unaccounted for. Aside from this issue, the dorms are simple but okay. The courtyard with the garden is nice, and the kitchen is well-equipped. They also offer free coffee and oats, which is a nice touch.
