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...).

Hong KongNothing. Feel regretted to stay here too short. Next time to choose this guesthouse again if traveling to Kagoshima in the future.
The guesthouse is very close to Kagoshima Central JR station and walk around 5-8 minutes from the station. The reception staff is very friendly and explain the guesthouse facilities in good manner. The room size is very large and makes me feel very comfortable. The shared bathroom, toilet, kitchen are clean and tidy.

The Hostel was down a walking street close to Kagoshimachuo station. It was quiet when I stayed and I had a four bunk dorm to myself. The common room had a fridge and kettle and there was a coffee shop downstairs. When the coffeee shop was open they were able to look after my luggage.

JapanThis was a revisit and I enjoyed my stay. 1st visit I was 2 years ago, that time I stayed in Japanese room dormitory which easily get disturbed if someone turn on the light, this time was better as I stayed in a double deck dorm and they had curtain. They let me decide to have lower berth, and the room and location is quite.

FranceNo elevator, place near a karaoke, the windows in my room were not enough insulated so I could hear people singing (very badly...) until midnight ; very small kitchen with no cooking equipment (except microwave oven), working spaces in the café are good but the music is always on (but soft) and the place could be noisy during the day, also it close at 8 p.m.
Great location near the train station, buses and the tramway, plenty of shops and supermarkets around ; very clean guesthouse, cozy room with aircond ; very kind and flexible staff ; free tickets for coffee ; great café space with working space ; good wifi.

PolandShort check-in period: check-in window is very short. No elevator inside the building.
Location: very close to Kagoshimachuo train station (Shinkansen trains stop there) - it takes a few minutes by walk to get there, mostly under the roof so it is not a problem to get there even with a suitcase; a lot of restaurants near by. There is an almost entire floor exclusively for women. I got welcoming gift: coupons to be used in the caffe. In my private room were 2 chairs and 2 tables what was very convenient.

TaiwanJust a bit pity that I have to be out of the hostel between 11am to 4pm for cleaning even if I book single room for continuous nights, it would be nice if I could stay in the room. Besides this rule everything is just great!

United KingdomThe whole 3rd floor had a weird cabbage-y smell. Also, the windows don't open and no light comes through, making the place a bit claustrophobic. The hostel is well equipped, but the whole building and everything in it just feels old and past its expiry date. If you are a budget traveller who stays for a couple of nights, this probably shouldn't bother you. My only real issue was that the smell and the old feel of things, plus the long hairs I kept finding everywhere made me feel like the place is not as clean as it should be.
The location of this hostel is amazing, close to the station, close to tram that ges to ferry port and has supermarket and many restaurants nearby. The room is spacious. The cafe downstairs is very nice and they gave me free coffee vouchers (although note that the cafe opens at 11am).

CanadaNo towel in the private room. I didn’t sleep since you hear everything and someone was up till 3am banging doors, in the kitchen and showering. Possibly I had the worst room next to the kitchen and across from the bathroom, I heard everything even the toilet and the slamming door woke me out of a deep sleep twice. Maybe it would have been better on the 3rd floor where the female toilet and showers are and the rooms. And the bedroom door window lets all the light in from the hallway so the room never gets dark. I tried to cover it. Eye shade and ear plugs are a must here.
Great location near the train station. The private room was very nice. There is a short checkin window but they make sure you have all the information to enter through the back door. There is a cafe attached which is only open set hours but has good food.

United KingdomGirls showers are only split by screens and curtains, and is quite cramped. If you are uncomfortable being naked around others, you may feel awkward having to pass by the other showers. As a note, the boys shower rooms are standard Japanese private shower rooms. No free towels.
Location is great; it's right in the centre of where everything is happening. It's about a 5 minute walk to the train station and close to places like Yataimura. It's also a cool café during the day, and you're given a drink token for each day you stay there (although you can only use them when the café is open, which is 11-8). Dorms have privacy curtains and there's a small communal area. The staff gave an explanation of the hostel when checking in. Girls have the option for a Japanese style tatami room, which was very spacious. Boys dorm was a typical hostel dorm with bunk beds but a good storage area.
