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):
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.
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.).

NetherlandsI am writing to formally express my disappointment regarding the parking situation during my recent stay at your hostel. Your listing states that free parking is available, which was a key factor in our decision to book. However, upon arrival, we parked in front of the building and were informed that this was not a designated parking area and that no parking spaces were available. As a result, we had no choice but to move our car to a P+R facility, which was not only far from the hostel but also incurred additional costs. To our surprise and frustration, upon returning to the hostel, we noticed three cars parked in the same area where we were initially told parking was not allowed. This inconsistent and misleading information caused unnecessary inconvenience and left us feeling dissatisfied with our experience. I kindly request clarification on your parking policy and an explanation for this discrepancy. Furthermore, I would appreciate it if you could address this issue to prevent future misunderstandings for other guests.

South KoreaThis hostel, known for its rude staff, provided me with a truly awful experience. They abruptly canceled my prepaid reservations without any prior notice. When I contacted them to sort it out, they stubbornly claimed I had agreed to the cancellation, which is absolutely false. Not only did they refuse to issue a refund, but they also failed to offer an alternative room. This kind of behavior is nothing less than a scam. I wholeheartedly recommend avoiding this hostel when making a booking.

Japan•A wrong room. I booked a single room,but they prepared a twobedroom for me and a strange man. I was so scared because I stayed one night with the strange man in the small room. Fortunately, he was so kind man. I texted about it BUT they replied at midnight and they JUST sent the picture of my new room’s number, they never apologized for it They never texted me. I don’t get angry with that happened, I get angry with this hostel’s staff’s behavior. • just one stove •few fork •weak WIFI •the housekeeper entered my room three times suddenly. •someone ate my foods. I think the staff will delete my review or disagree with my review. But this is true. I don’t recommend this hostel.
Location is nice.

United KingdomThe room is absolutely filthy. I first walked into find it smelling of paint and dirt. I found stains all over the bedsheets and hair inside the bed. The carpet isn’t fitted corrected and kept moving and was also covered in black marks and hairs. The WiFi password that they give you does not work until you find the box yourself and connect that way. I only saw one member of staff my whole time there. When I complained I was offered another room… for €48 extra per night
Location was good- a few places nearby to get food however these close early Simple train/ bus into city centre takes around 45 minutes

GreeceFirst of all, situation with heating was terrible. We were there at the end of September, and at the night temperature descended to +8, and in the room was really cold. After the first night (!) I got earache, my wife started coughing. When I asked administration about heating, they told me "There is no heating in the rooms yet. Central heating works, but unfortunately it won't be switched on until September". And ofc, at the begining of October there was no heating. Secondly, there was problem with insects in our room. I killed 5 brown marmorated stink bugs and I saw two cockroaches on the stairs. Also, absense of banal hangers and bedside tables was really uncomfortable.
The room was clean. The bathroom and kitchen was also good. The neighborhood was calm.

Lots of terrible people staying there without any supervision by the owner. This is one of the worst places I have ever stayed. Don’t be there on Sunday as everything is closed and I mean all stores.

HungaryThere was a smell in the room. Like it hadn’t been aired properly for weeks. Not pleasant and it did not go away. Shared bathroom and toilet were fine but door handle was broken. Not enough hooks in shower rooms to hang towels and clothes and for some reason no hooks at all in toilet. No ventilation in toilet so the smell remained …

United KingdomNo Wi-Fi for our whole stay, I tried to investigate this and found they’re in arrears for their Wi-Fi payments and therefore we (the paying guests) lose out without any communication on this. They promised to refund a day for this and then ignored all further messages. Also upon arriving we requested a double bed as advertised yet had two singles. Only 1 bathroom shared between 3 double rooms (6 people). Dirty top found shoved down the side of one of the beds. Cleaner opening the door without knocking 1 hour before check out time. No staff around whatsoever. No breakfast as advertised. Both contact number and emergency number don’t answer the calls.
Nice location out of the city, but also hard to reach with trains only every 30-45 mins

PolandNo parking space for cars. Free wifi is limited to one floor down, and does not work very good. Poor range of GPS phones. Other Wifi codes on the foolers redirect to owners page - internet unpaid. Dishawasher was full of smelly dishes. No one could start it, because someone who installed it was an idiot. The dishwasher has to be pulled out by the door to be able to close and work. I needed Polish engineer to figure it out. Hope all smelly dishes we started to wash, were done.
Clean, comfortable, best value for price/vaue. Good contact with owner, cleaning stuff. Close to train station.
