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...).

SlovakiaOnly negatives would be that there was very little communal space to hang out with other people and that bathrooms could use some renovations.
Great location, clean and spacious rooms with big lockers and super friendly owners. Breakfast served free of charge was amazing!

TurkeyThe owner of the facility is very understanding and tries to help in every way. I can say it is the best facility I have stayed at. Breakfast was included in the stay and I liked the breakfast very much. The owner prepared a great breakfast. The location of the facility was close to the center and it was very clean. Thanks again for everything. 😊

ItalyI had a wonderful experience at this hostel! The staff was incredibly welcoming; I've stayed in many hostels before, but here, I truly felt warmly embraced. My flight was delayed late into the night, and I'm so grateful for the warm reception I received upon arrival. The hostel's location is excellent; I took a minibus from the airport and found it easily. I was able to explore the city center on foot as well. The breakfast was delightful, with a traditional touch. They provided slippers and towels, which was a nice touch. Unfortunately, I only stayed for one night, but I would definitely return without a shadow of a doubt.

Owner Adriano is fantastic - they were beyond accommodating, very approachable and hospitable. They helped us plan our trip, and had contacts for car hire. The free breakfast was amazing - the owner himself cooks for everyone at the dining table in the kitchen. Beds had their own power socket and light. Fantastic location for a hostel, easy walk to the main attractions and shops.

TaiwanToo good to be true at the beginning. So I am a bit cautious. But it is real that there are nice hosts out there.
A well organized hostel managed by a considerate and displine host. Two pictures explain how I feel that way (first aid + flexible check out without extra fee). It's trivial but I have never seen anything like this during my trip in the past few years. The owner Adriano also provides us with great breakfast and makes sure we are full to start a day. As being a backpacker for a decade, this hostel is more than just a hostel but the one so far that fulfills my needs and more. Everything is great due to his thoughtful mind. Guess he was ever a backpacker and thus knows how to take care of travelers. I booked one night and it turns out I stayed four nights until my flight home. Highly recommend.
