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 reviewBest "luxurious" hostel BnB in the world and the best I have ever stayed in PERIOD!!! It feels more like a home in an upscale neighborhood and walking distance to shops, supermarkets, bars etc. The hosts were fabulous and generous with their time, and also met some wonderful travellers from across the globe who've become friends. Celebration of diversity and culture, acceptance and respect. Thanks MyCrib for making my stay a memorable one, one i shall never forget and will definitely return 😊 Highly Recomment 💯

Verified reviewThe property is professionally maintained and very clean, as well as not too crowdy. I liked that I had my dorm room almost empty on almost the whole duration of my stay. There are plenty of drinks to choose from at the affordable price. Special thanks goes to the owner of the place- he was really nice and offered to help with anything. He even checked the bus stop for me upon my check-out. One note also goes to the location- almost walkable distance to the downtown area and the parks, as well as night bars if you’re down for that.

Verified reviewCozy hostel, like a modified house. Good showers, beds kitchen and living room. Good distance to a few good pubs nearby.
The exterior door lock is solar, so it just run out of battery once and couldn't open. If you're on one of the top bunks, the AC is right in your face and can be a bit loud. Fridge is full of food from previous visitors.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! We're really glad you enjoyed the cozy, homey vibe of our hostel and found the location convenient—those nearby pubs are definitely guest favorites. We appreciate your feedback on areas for improvement as well. And thank you for pointing out the fridge—we’re reviewing our cleaning schedule to ensure it stays fresh and guest-ready at all times. Your insights help us grow and create an even better stay for everyone. Safe travels, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime!

Verified reviewThis place really makes you feel at home! The cozy living room and the modern and well-equipped kitchen doesn’t make you feel the need to go out. Rooms are clean and the beds are comfortable. Lockers are fairly big (although my very big luggage didn’t fit..). The code-protected access (front gate, front door and room door) makes you feel safe. Hosts are super nice and available for a chat whenever they’re there! The area is central and nice, I felt safe leaving my car parked in the street at night. Great value for money!
Nothing wrong!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're absolutely delighted that you felt at home and enjoyed our cozy atmosphere, clean rooms, and well-equipped kitchen. It’s great to hear that our security measures helped you feel safe, and that our friendly hosts made your stay even more welcoming. We appreciate your feedback about the lockers—while they’re designed to fit most luggage, we understand that extra-large suitcases can be tricky. We'll keep that in mind for future improvements! We're so glad you had a great experience and found great value in your stay. Hope to welcome you back again soon for another fantastic visit!
