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.).

AustraliaSun Lovers was amazing in every way. Great location, clean facilities, great social area on the rooftop and plenty of food/drink options. Above all else, the staff are all amazing, made such an effort to get to know each guest by name and always check in during the trip. As a female solo traveller, I felt extremely safe in the 8 bed mixed dorm with plenty of space and privacy. I will definitely be back

IrelandI think there could maybe be another bathroom or two, or maybe even separate the shower and toilet room as sometimes you had to wait a while to use the facilities if there was someone in the shower. Other than this, absolutely perfect experience.
Everything about this hostel was 10/10! I have stayed in 100+ hostels and let me tell you, it is impossible to fault this hostel!! From the very warm welcome at check-in from the boys, to the amazing drinks and food made by the staff on the rooftop, to the helpful and friendly nature by all the staff. The rooftop bar accompanied by such an amazing rooftop pool was pure bliss and an unbelievable addition for such a low price. YOU WILL NOT FIND A BETTER HOSTEL FOR THIS PRICE - promise. The vibes that this hostel brings and the games allow you to meet so many other travellers. It is so well designed by the owner, so many cute details and well thought through designs. Everything was honestly so smooth and the every single one of the staff really care that you have the most enjoyable time: from the bar staff bringing you your food and drink directly to your table by the pool side, to Ebrima keeping the place safe and the vibes up and going above and beyond to book a tour for me very last minute. And especially a big thank you to Micka; the hostel mammy, who takes the time to sit down and get to know each traveller and is very enlightening and encouraging; a solo traveller at heart. She is and a "breath of fresh air"! 10/10 experience ... 10/10 hostel ... Would HIGHLY recommend ... I can't wait to return.

United KingdomStaying at this hostel has been one of the most heartwarming experiences of my travels. From the moment I arrived, the staff welcomed me like family. Their warmth, kindness, and genuine care went far beyond what I ever expected. They didn’t just offer a place to stay—they offered support and a safe space. There were moments on my journey when I needed help, and without hesitation, they were there. Whether it was advice, a friendly chat, or just checking in to see how I was doing, they showed me what true hospitality really means. I honestly couldn’t have asked for better people to meet. This place isn’t just a hostel—it’s a safe space, a community, and a reminder that good people truly do exist. I’m leaving with a full heart and deep gratitude for everyone who made my stay so special. Thank you for everything—I’ll never forget it.

Czech RepublicI really missed some kind of shelf within the bunk beds. Because there aren't any, you have your room key and other things like water bottle laying around the bed as there is no space to put it. I also missed any kind of (paper) towel or hand dryer in the bathrooms. The toilet paper is very sticky to hands so not the ideal thing to dry your hands with.
The rooftop was really nice and the beds were comfy with a shade to provide privacy. Very close to the main attractions.

United KingdomThere are only a couple of shower rooms, so I can imagine in peak season you may sometimes have to wait to shower however I only had that problem once.
This hostel is amazing. The pool area and the good quality showers make the facilities feel just as good as a hotel. My room even had a balcony, and the beds were super comfortable. The lockers are huge so there’s no lack of storage space. I met some really cool people at this hostel.

UkraineI had a good experience staying with Sun Lovers. Big plus to the stuff - they're very nice! 😊 Great rooftop to hang out with affordable drinks and food 🙂 The rooms are okay for a hostel - they had air-conditioning so I was fine - but bed mattresses could be better as they are pretty old. Shower facilities were okay as well. Cleaning is up to par! That's a great place - I can recommend it!
