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 reviewLocated very central and close to EVERYTHING, which I loved since it made walking places easier or traveling in general. Bed was very comfy and I love the small balcony we had. Place was also pretty clean.
Breakfast was my biggest thing. Yes it was included but they should do better because all they had was cereal, coffee, juice, yogurt, and bread. Terrible in my opinion.

Verified reviewGreat location, comfortable beds. Breakfast is basic but did the job! The staff were so so helpful. I found I could mostly walk everywhere (if it wasn’t so hot). Really enjoyed the social gathering. Met many lovely travellers. We all then dined out till midnight.
The top bunks are high. Just be careful if you are older or have knee issues.
Dear Guest, we are delighted with your perfect 10! We hope in the future you visit Athens again so we can have the chance to accommodate you for more days. Greetings from Athens! The Nubians

Verified reviewnostalgic hostel breakfast, very nice staff, comfy clean beds, nice communal spaces
I used the shared bathroom and there were no place where I could hang or put my stuff when taking my shower. Also other visitors leave the toilet in a bad state, but this is not the staff’s fault. It was also cleaned daily
Dear Guest, thank you for your review. It was a pleasure to accommodate you! We hope to see you again sometime :) The Nubians

Verified review- amazing stuff! very friendly and supporting - good location, close to metro - room was quite
- door to the bathroom in a room was broken, also consider that 1 bathroom for 6 people maybe not enough if some of the guests spend a lot of time there( - do not rely on the breakfast, its super small and not fulfilment at all.

Verified reviewThis hostel is a discovery for me. It is nicely designed, has wonderful staff and amenities available. Beds are comfortable and common areas are very clean.
The wifi is pretty slow here, but it looks like a general Greece problem.

Verified reviewThe hostel is well located and not too far from the centre and tourist attractions. Breakfast was ok.
The room and bathroom are too small. 6 people in a room is a lot for that small space.

Verified reviewIn my favorite (non-touristic) area in Athens, lots of cute cafes and bars nearby. I met inspiring and kind people there, and the employees were also very friendly and helpful. I was very happy to find a small hostel in such a big city and not have to go to an impersonal party hostel. I liked that breakfast was included. I think it’s the best hostel I could have found in Athens.
Sadly no curtains on the beds. The facilities were a bit old (but clean!). Not many people used the kitchen so there weren’t a lot of staples.
