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...).

Clean, cozy and super friendly staff. The beds are really comfortable with curtains for privacy. The hangout spot is share with cafe downstairs which is provided delicious breakfast and coffee. Location is great, near the main pier and quiet at night. Highly recommend for solo and group travelers alike!

United KingdomThe toilet/ shower cubicles smelt quite bad. It’s not particularly nice to walk over a wet shower cubicle with bare feet to get to the toilet, which often was covered in soap and water. There is also no common area and no food aloud in the dorms, so you couldn’t buy and eat food that wasn’t from their cafe.
Good food in the cafe downstairs. You had big lockers which was amazing for our bags and privacy. The aircon was amazing too! It’s only a 25 minute walk to all the main party areas and super close to the dock. Beaches nearby were all lovely and clean.

United KingdomI wish there was more than water available for guests (eg. instant coffee, bananas). The staff checking me in was quite unpleasant and told me I would have to pay if blood got on my sheets- I don’t think this is standard or normal.
Very clean, quiet hostel. I enjoyed the café downstairs, you can always grab a coffee on the way. Some staff is a little bit awkward but it doesn’t affect your stay. They also give you a towel which was nice.

United KingdomOnly stopped here one night but found the place to be ok. It did feel abit like they'd crammed as much in as possible. No common area and had to eat or drink only stuff from their cafe. Dorms were comfy if cramped with very thin divides between the beds but I did sleep fine. Bathrooms were good. Great location only a few minutes walk to the beach with plenty of bars and restaurants nearby. It's s a working beach/harbour so prob best as I did hire a bike as only costs around £5 and better beaches 20-30mins away.

AustriaThe bathrooms were mixed, but other than that the rest was great!
The location was great, it was by the pier, there are a few shops and restaurants around, is very close to the beach too. The beds were super comfy, bedrooms and bathrooms were clean, the food at the hostel’s bistro was great, freshly made. I also liked that a towel and the bed linen were included. The AC in the bedroom was fantastic! I also liked that the the bathroom was apart from the bedroom, it is great so you don’t disturb your roommates. The staff was super friendly and helpful too!

United KingdomThe main thing would be the plumbing in the bathroom, meaning that you can often smell a bit of sewage in the showers. Fair warning, when you close the curtains in your room, it is its own microclimate.
I had a great time at this hostel to the point that I extended multiple times, ideal for a good place to be, nice and social but not a party hostel.
