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 KingdomLocation is great for backpackers and hikers. And for discovering Enniskerry and the surrounds but challenging for drivers on narrow roads.
Clean, great kitchen and good staff. Well maintained.

Czech RepublicQuite pricey for a hostel, one of the most expensive accommodation on our 6 days walk on the Wicklow Way, at least breakfast could be included, that's extra for 9 euro. There's nothing to buy nearby but we knew that so we brought our own food and drinks.
Spacious room, comfortable beds, shared kitchen with a fridge, kettle, microwave, lovely view, outside seating area. Ok for one night.

United StatesThe only downside of this location is that there is very little in food options. Bring your own food or you'll be eating instant ramen. Town is a 5.5 km walk (each way).
The location is beautiful and just off the Wicklow Way. Very clean, spacious and comfortable. Staff is super nice.

Beautiful location. Fabulous view from the hostel. Our room was spotlessly clean as was the kitchen and the rest of the hostel. Lovely hot shower. Kids really enjoyed the board games.

SwitzerlandThe acoustics in the dorm was extremely bad - especially when someone sitting/lying on the upper bunkbed was talking, it was extremely loud and it echoed... And the door to the room would fall shut with a loud bang which each new roommates would have to learn first to avoid it - although some didn't seem to care and so there was a lot of banging... Also the walls were rather thin and so you could hear the male guests partying in their dorm next-door. Plus the window looked out to the parking lot where people were having conversations (and were smoking?) until late. Mind to go grocery shopping before heading to the hostel which is quite remote!
I stayed in a 6 bed female dorm. The room as well as the shared bathroom w/ showers were always clean. I stayed four nights (Mon/Tue/Wed/Thu) in July and the dorm was never fully booked / the last night I had even been alone in the dorm. At no time at had the impression the place was overcrowded. There was space in the fridge as well as on the shelf to store my food and I could prepare and eat my meals with no hassle. There were three ovens (although one broke down while I stayed there) and two microwaves. Hot water for coffee/tea was available at all times. The location is naturally quiet and for hikers a wonderful area to just head out walking in any direction. It's safest though to stay on marked paths or even better on the well maintained Wicklow Way.

Fantastic hostel nestled in the Wicklow mountains. I ended extending my stay twice and stay 10 nights! Everyone is extremely nice and friendly, the workaway people do a great job at looking after the place and the whole vibe is really chilled and friendly. Really one of the best hostels I've ever stayed at
