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...).

AustraliaUnforutantely I had disrespectful guests staying In the two people beds both nights,, but I cannot blame the accommodation for that.
The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Max runs tours too and so meeting and discussing with happy people and I recommend for people who want a nice social atmosphere. Max even helped post things I left behind ahead of my journey within a day of me realising with no issue. Showers were powerful, didn't take long to heat up. facilities were clean and elegant design. exceptional location. Very friendly dog too :)

SingaporeSleeping in the upper bunk might be a bit scary because it's a bit hard to climb up. Can get stuffy at night in the summer. Shower area is clean but quite old school.
The place is smack dap in the center of Old Street which was really convenient. Sleeping area is probably one of the more spacious ones I've been to, and you get your privacy. I like that there are toilets in the room itself. The people in this hostel are probably one of the friendlier ones in all my trips. Owners are also easy to chat with. Will definitely stay here again if I ever go back.

BelgiumThe owners are so friendly! The hostel is great with a spatious kitchen, a nice bed with thick sheets and enough AC! The shower is also nice, good high water pressure. There’s water downstairs and in the rooms and there’s free tea. The view from the rooftop is truly amazing and it is located at the heart of the old street. This is your spot to stay, look no further!!

United StatesWhile there are toilets in the dorms the showers are on a different floor. Not a problem for me but something to consider!
Great location right off of Old Street! The beds were super comfortable clean. The showers and toilets were super clean with a great communal washbasin. Never had to wait for a toilet or shower! There’s a great rooftop deck with amazing views! Ellie was so so sweet and everyone was excited to hang out and go out for meals together. So worth seeing the town at night when the Taipei crowds have left. Highly recommend this location!

IrelandI didn't like that the showers were on the ground floor. It's okay if you're staying in the room on the first floor, but I slept in the one on the second floor and it was a bit painful. Also, I would have liked if the capsules had a small box to store valuables.
The staff is so lovely and welcoming. I really felt like at home. The capsules are big enough and comfortable. There's a relaxed atmosphere in the hostel. The water dispenser in the room was handy to have.

United KingdomLocation - 10/10 right in the middle of Old Street. So easy to pop in and out to see when it’s less crowded. Also close to 7/11 and Familymart. Staff - so lovely when there, and easy to contact. Staff/owner(?) came by and was working one day while I was in the kitchen and he shared so much food and snacks with me 😍 delicious rice crackers, steamed sweet potato, tea stained boiled egg. So kind and I enjoyed them a lot!! Thank you :) also helpful to allow leaving bags inside if too early for check in, and also to help me do self check in via phone call when I came back late after being out all day. Dorm - capsules are spacious enough that you don’t get in each other’s way. No lockers however so had to take valuables. There are security cameras everywhere including the dorm room and bathroom main areas but still would prefer to have lockers. My bed had a hair and a small stain on the sheet but the capsule felt clean. The mattress underneath the sheet was dirty with hair and stains too. However mostly clean where I was sleeping so didn’t care too much but some might. Bathroom - showers are great - hot and really good pressure. Hairdryers outside and place to hang clothes to dry (although not very efficient drying even in the drying room - I had to use the hairdryers on occasion). Not very clean especially in the sinks, but it’s decent. Other - I really enjoyed my stay and made friends in the kitchen. Only thing really is I was super cold the whole time inside, lucky I travel with my hot water bottle but all the common areas and dorms were so cold! So bring layers :)
