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...).

FinlandThe accommodations were good and clean, right in the city center. The place however is not like we expected, there are way too many rooms/people making it not so cozy. Showers did not work properly, and the staff was kinda cold and not responsive at all. I hardly got answer to my messages, they said that there are way too many and hard to answer all (understaffed). The place is good, but if you wand cozy vacations with warm people, go somewhere else.

United StatesTwin mattress was very firm for guest comfort, could not control room temperature and it was very hot a couple nights until they adjusted for us. Noisy guests in common area up late several nights- no quiet hours apparently. Breakfast was scrambled eggs, hard dry bread, choice of 2 fruits. Some variety would be good.
The size, layout, location. Large kitchen, sofa and chairs to relax in the apartment unit. Comfy king sized bed.

ItalyMaybe the kitchen is a little small. It gets crowded very easily due to the capacity of the hostel.
Awesome stay! Amazing staff willing to answer my infinite questions about their tours. Great prices for the tours, I think there's a 10% discount over the prices you see in the agencies. Big shared bathrooms and cozy rooms.

There was a lot of common space, and it was clean. There are plugs everywhere to charge your phone. It was close to everything like panaderias, grocery store and restaurants.

SpainSome of the staff were helpful, others weren't. I struggled to get through the doors with my big, heavy backpack and suitcase, and TWO receptionists just stood there staring. They wouldn't even help holding the door. Some used earbuds were on my shelf, so cleaning could be improved. But all of the hostels I've stayed at in Argentina have the same issue, so that wouldn't stop me from staying there again.
The location is great, it's very central and close to the main street. Breakfast was good too, hostels in Argentina tend to be incredibly cheap with breakfast but this one had eggs (a luxury compared to other hostels in the country!), bread, cereal, milk, fruits and coffee. The building is beautiful and it has several common spaces so it's great for solo travelers, you can make friends easily.

New ZealandNo fault of the property / employees: A shared bathroom is unlikely going to be clean as some people do not consider others. Too much fabric softener/ conditioner such that the scent of it in the room was very strong and stays in your nose
Very central in town but away from the busiest areas too

There was a good bed and shower here. This was a very comfy place to stay and well located. It was quiet at night despite a lot of people staying here.

United StatesThe breakfast is very basic. Enough to get you started for the day, but not much beyond that.
A very well run Hostal. The staff was helpful and our room (private) was very comfortable. Considering how busy the place was, we only experienced a minimum amount of noise and it was quiet at night. We had a nice stay.
