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 reviewThe facilities are very comfortable and then location very convenient right at the city center.
Terribly Inflexible. This hostel is a money-grabbing nightmare. They won’t change your reservation dates not matter what happened to you, but upgrading? Sure! You are very welcome to pay extra and just then, they will change your dates. Even simple requests like the bottom bunk bed cost extra. For the management you are just a bill with legs, not a guest. Cold, rigid, and completely unaccommodating..avoid if you want basic decency and human treatment. Here you are just a number.

Room ventilation was too loud to sleep( constant 60 db). We couldn’t open window due to rain or outside being loud and food smell as well

Verified reviewThe room is air-conditioned. There is a curtain on each bed for privacy. The breakfast was delicious at a good price. The staff were nice to me. Location is at the very center, close to anywhere by walking distance.
I found it hard to set the bed sheets since the mattress is heavy. The shower room is clogged a bit, so the draining is not fast enough. The soap on the sink keeps dripping. And we need to buy the UK connector for chargers.

Verified reviewGreat location. Clean room.
Shower drain started clogging on day 3. Had to pay extra for towel rental and luggage lockers. We went during the most busy time so we paid a lot for the room. Not bad for a hostel.
Hey there, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are happy to hear you enjoyed the location and found your room clean. We are sorry about the shower drain, we hope you reported that to our team, they're available 24/7. Regarding towels and luggage lockers, these are optional extras, but we will take your comments into account as we review our services. We appreciate your understanding during a very busy time in the city and hope to welcome you back for an even smoother stay. Cheers, Clink iLar - Vicente

Verified reviewLocation is good, but room was filthy. Private room was ok but really small.
Paid for late checkout which was no problem until staff burst in early saying I did not pay and to leave. Had to show them the receipt before they would believe me.

Verified reviewExcellent location. Room was adequate. Ensuite was adequate. Good value for money. Helpful staff and easy check-in / check-out.
Room was quite small, but you get what you pay for. I left a personal item in the room after checkout which could not be found/returned to me!
Thank you for your review, we hope you choose to stray with us again despite your valid complaints.

Verified reviewThe beds in the dorm rooms were well thought out with a little shelf and pocket to put your things, two lights and two sockets to charge phones etc. Breakfast buffet was good value with an Irish breakfast, toast and fruit selections.
There isn’t a massive community vibe here and people weren’t very chatty like in other hostels. But staff were still friendly and helpful and it was good value.
Thank you for your review, we hope you choose to stray with us again despite your valid complaints.

Even though it's a hostel it was extremely overpriced: 1000€ for 3 nights with no breakfast.
