How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewAltough bathrooms are shared, they are very clean. Each floor has 3 bathrooms with heated seat pads, bidets and a nice shower. There is also a communal hairdryer and an ironing table. Rooms where the pods are in are clean and they also have luggage storage which lock automatically. There is a kitchen with refridgerators and ovens in case you want to cook food. The kitchen also has a water dispenser.
The hostel is newly built so sleeping pods themselves still dont have locks yet which means anyone can just open your sleeping pod if they wanted to. While there is a web-based site to access your room codes and booking, the luggage storage simply doesnt work over the web basically forcing you to download an app. Luggage storage may not fit a large luggage.

Verified reviewThe location of the place was the best thing.
I felt there was not enough air flowing inside the capsule when sleeping.

Verified reviewThe Japanese style toilet is so nice. The breakfast was also pretty good with eggs and pancakes. Plenty towels are available.
My locker is way too high to reach so I was not able to use it at all. Also I booked a female dormitory and there was a guy staying there(he doesn’t seems like trans. Just a normally guy). I guess the fully automatic check in process has its drawbacks.

Verified reviewOverall very clean and comfortable. Beds are comfortable, common areas are good too.
Bedrooms are very noisy due to outside noise with occasional street racing and screaming in the night. Not enough bathrooms/showers for the number of people staying. Also, I don't want to use you stupid app to check in, talk with staff, unlock doors and everything else.

Verified reviewGreat, clean, comfy location! First floor provides a place to hang out with other folks, either in the dining area / kitchen or in the couches with the roku tv and foosball. Fresh towels are provided for showering. There's free breakfast too though I didn't get to try it due to schedule. The capsule concept is like the Japanese capsule hotels, but these are at least tall enough to sit upright, and there are plenty of outlets and space to hold stuff. Way better than bunk beds. The bathrooms are great too - legit bidets which are quite luxurious, considering the price this hostel charges.
Fairly minor, containers in shower are unlabeled so I could not tell what's shampoo or conditioner or body wash.
