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...).

GermanyThe wifi was unfortunately so bad that it almost counted as non-existing. It is a major drawback if you actually need it to get things done. The lack of actual staff can also be seen as a detriment. You will need to bring the exact amount of cash, for example, and you might find yourself in front of a closed door without a door code if you show up too early and hadn't texted them. It was also not the cheapest place but it was worth it.
The hostel has a cozy little social area on the ground floor where you will most likely meet fellow travelers, making this a potentially social place. I met some very nice people here and Chiayi would have been a much different experience for me if i hadn't met them. Everything was really clean and well thought-through. Free water, tea and instant coffee. Even free laundry for the time being. Night market around the corner. It has a vibe that you will love if the right people happen to be around.

PolandWhile the hostel's welcoming atmosphere, bright common area, convenient self-check-in, and comfortable rooms were excellent, the lack of a dryer and only one bathroom per floor, despite its spaciousness, proved to be inconvenient.
This hostel was a delight; the welcoming and bright common area felt like home, the self-check-in was incredibly convenient, and the rooms, while a bit narrow, were very comfortable.

Hong KongFlip style trash can inside bathroom. I hate to use my hand to open the trash can in order to throw away used toilet paper. The owner needs to be more careful about the humidity inside room
Bunk bed with curtains, lamp and USB port. Separate showering area for female travelers. Cotton buds and flossers provided. Free washing machine with detergent for use. Shaded rooftop to dry clothing. Very organized hostel, great thoughts and details went into it to make travelers' life easier with adequate instructions. Great location if you want to visit Wenhua Rd night market every single night. So many good food at the market! Great common area on ground floor!

United KingdomThe bunk beds creaked with each movement, not so great for sleep. Only one shower and toilet for the ladies' floor - not a problem if guests are efficient when showering, but when one person used it for 30+ minutes, very annoying.
The hostel is calm and quiet. You self-check in, via instructions sent to WhatsApp. The host was communicative and helpful. I found the mattress thin and could feel the baseboard, but it helped my sore back so I can't complain 😁 the kitchen/sitting area is really pleasant. There are tea and coffee bags to make drinks. There are also lockers with provided keys to store bags (I estimate capacity at about 32L, as my 28L fit easily with a smaller 15L squashed in on top). Once the traffic dies down, the location is quiet at night.

Free tea and coffee. Good communication on WhatsApp. No contact with staff... everything is done remotely. It works. I could park my bike inside. The hostel hasn't tried to overuse the space with too many people and beds.
