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.).

IsraelCleanliness could be better, there are some unfinished electrical sockets by the bed, while not a safety hazard, they aren't the most pleasant.
Perfect location, the bustop is right outside the door and any central coffee shop is a 5 minute walk. The Jerusalem Cinematheque is a short bus ride away, and we had a lovely weekend.

New ZealandIt's nothing related to the hostel but the other guests in my dorm. Never experienced this behavior in hostels before - they were quite disrespectful coming in at all hours and talking loudly and using the hairdryer at 1 or 2 in the morning. No sleep basically.
I loved the breakfast. I also loved the privacy of having a curtain on the bunk bed.

United StatesI got lucky. This was a peak hostel experience. I was here over the Christian Easter holidays and stayed in a room of all women who were there for the same thing. Mix of ages from 20-60. The staff is great and were completely responsive. Everything was generally clean and the common areas were well maintained.

I think this Histel is a great asset to whoever wants to travel in this central area, it offered a safe and clean stay that many locals and tourists stay at. I really appreciate the help of the staff especially Sharif and Rene in accommodating my personal requests and their exceptional customer service skills.

IsraelThe charging station for mobile phone on my bed area is not working. I still have to charge my phone in a socket inside the closet which is a bit inconvenient for me but overall, the place is good and highly recommended.
The staff were accomodating. The reception is open 24 hours so it is guaranteed to have someone assisting you even during late or very early hours.

IsraelI had a fantastic stay at HYVE Jerusalem! The place is new, clean, and beautifully designed with a modern and welcoming vibe. The location is perfect – right in the heart of the city, within walking distance to all major attractions. I especially want to highlight Asil at the front desk – she was incredibly kind, professional, and helpful. Her warm attitude and genuine care made me feel right at home from the moment I arrived. The lounge area is spacious and cozy, the beds are super comfortable, and the fully equipped kitchen is a big plus. Great value for money – I’ll definitely be coming back!

PortugalIt has all you need for a comfortable stay in the city center. It's just 15 min walk from the Old city gates, lots of cafes and groceries around the spot. Well equipped kitchen, the beds in dorms are really comfort and private, big lockers with a socket inside. All facilities are clean and new. Great spot to stay in Jerusalem

Czech RepublicOne of the guests was intolerant and slept there even though he was sick and had caught. It was the problem of this person, not the problem of this place.
Outside, it was only two degrees at night, but the room was very warm.

BrazilIt was my third time in Israel and at the same hostel. However, this time, the experience wasn’t as good. The power outlets by the bed and locker weren’t working, but luckily, I had a power bank with me. At night, some teenagers were making a lot of noise in the hallways, even playing football. The common areas of the hostel were very clean and well-maintained. However, the bathroom in the room wasn’t as clean—I believe this room needs some maintenance. This time, the hostel wasn’t as pleasant as before, but nothing that really affected my stay. After all, the location is great, the staff is very good, and the common area is nice as well.
