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.).

HungaryThere is no such thing.
Very friendly and helpful staff, the bed is comfortable and you got air conditioner in every room. From the balkony of the 4. floor, you can see the Akropolis, which was so nice view at night.

United KingdomTwo points I found irritating were the lift being locked overnight and the showers could have been better with just different shower heads. That's it. Minor inconveniences I can live with. Everything else was spot on. I did have one or two issues with the shared fridge but again, minor. It wouldn't stop me staying here again in future.
There's not much to complain about here. I extended my stay several times and my stay was around five weeks in total. The location is it's selling point with the Metro and tram closeby. Two minutes to shops and restaurants. The hostel is very good and well cleaned/maintained. A towel is two euro. There's a small drinks fridge if you want to buy a coke or water. The reception have been courteous and helpful. The kitchen is good with shared fridge freezer. Microwave. Hob. Kettle. Coffee machine. All very nice. There's some tables outside to dine and a small seating area by reception but no other lounge chairs. The beds are private with curtains. You can see the Parthenon but it's not a great view. I would certainly return and that says it all.

New ZealandI checked in later as I needed to stay one night in Athens for a flight the next morning. Check in was super easy with them texting me prior to my stay for easy access to the building and facilities. Beds were extremely comfortable, locked supplied for property, and bathroom was clean and updated. It was 10/10!! Was a 2 minute walk from the station which I loved as a female solo traveller. Was the perfect hostel (and cheap!) for the center of Athens. Highly recommend <3

SingaporeThe only bad thing was perhaps that you have to climb the stairs, may be inconvenient for those with heavy luggage. But that's about it.
Clean and comfortable, kitchen was free to use, everything was great for the price. Also a 2 min walk from the metro. Really worth it!

ArmeniaThey have bathrooms and toilets only on the 2nd and 1st floors, I was staying on the 4th, and the elevator doesn't work at night.
Everything was very clean, a very comfortable bed with an electric outlet and a place to put the phone, with a personal light in the bed so you can turn it on and do your stuff behind the curtain without disturbing others. There is a view to the Acropolis from the 4th-floor balcony.

France⚠️ I recommend to maintain the showers and the toilets regularly. The flash of the toilets and also the showers need maintenance. ⚠️ Better to add more drying racks in the terrace of the 4th floor. Notwithstanding the fact that they charge the guests a quite fair price for laundry, they have only 1 drying rack which was sometimes full.
✅ LOCATION: The location was awesome. Beside being adjacent to the metro and Tram and accordingly simple access to the main touristic points, the area was lovely and safe. Many supermarkets nearby. ✅ STAFF:The staff are highly responsive and whenever you face a problem you will get a response through WhatsApp. The cleaning lady, Ana, was so friendly and committed although she couldn't communicate in English. The ladies in the receiption, Anastasia and Dimitra were very supporting and helpful. Especially Anastasia who helped me a lot and made my stay much sweeter although the manager treated me a bit aggressively through whatsapp once when I protested about the shortage of drying racks 💔. ✅ FACILITIES: The lockers are too big and spaceful and they provide you with a lock by themselves. No need to have your own. Although it was too hot those days, but the room was well chilled with AC. Comfortable beds with privacy, electricity and lamp. ✅ CLEANLINESS: Very good as a hostel. You know that at last it is a public sleeping area with people coming from all over the world. Despite this fact, the rooms, beds and the bathrooms were very clean. I really enjoyed my stay at this hostel. Thank you Anastasia in particular, Dimitra and Ana. Hope to see you again.

My stay was perfect. The place was cozy and had everything needed for a comfortable visit. There are plenty of toilets and showers, and they are always clean and never crowded. The location is very close to all essential services, including the metro, grocery stores, restaurants, and cafes. You can walk to the Acropolis and the bustling part of Athens in about 20 minutes if you prefer not to take the metro. The staff are incredibly nice and helpful! I highly recommend this place.
