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...).

IsraelNo internet. For a hostel which accommodates tourists internet connection is vital. No personal at the office at daytime.
Clean, silent and close to mall and rail station.

LithuaniaComfortable beds. The owner can make you breakfast for a few euros in the mornings + you get 1 cup of coffee for free. The location of the hostel is reasonably fair - it is just a 15 min ride by train and you are in Vienna. There is Billa supermarket just around 300 m away. The hostel is silent and is surrounded by nature. There are ducks in the river! Wifi works fine, as well (they upgraded the routers recently).

LithuaniaThere is no free towel included in the accommodation price - either you rent it (small price) or use your own.
This hostel is a place where you can rest from the buzz of Vienna. The location of the hostel is reasonably fair: you just take the local train S50 (it commutes every 15-30 min) and you arrive at Wien Westbahnhof in just 15 min, and there you take a subway to the Hofburg Palace (a few stops, you arrive in 5 min). Google Maps show you everything and is accurate. If to to from the city center to this hotel: you go to the Volkstheater stop and the subway U3 (just do not mix the directions!), ride for 5 min to Wien Westbahnhof and take a very comfortable local train S50 (it has 220V charging sockets if you need them), ride for 15 min till the Wien Weidlingau stop and cross the river and the hostel is on the left side (walk around 50 m). THERE IS NO NEED TO BUY ADDITIONAL TICKETS FOR S50 TRAIN AS THE SAME DAILY-WEEKLY VIENNA TICKETS ARE VALID! There are local fast-food pizzerias and other catering places close enough in just a 2-10 min walk. There is Billa supermarket just around 300 m away, there are other catering places on the way to Billa supermarket, as well. The owner can make you breakfast for a few euros in the mornings + you get 1 cup of coffee (or tea?) for free. The hostel is silent and surrounded by nature. There are ducks in the river! Outstandingly comfortable beds. The hostel is not overcrowded and calm. There are no queues for showers. There is a washing machine to use free of charge (just bring your washing liquid or use an ordinary hand-washing liquid soap, it works fine, as well).

SpainI stayed in the mixed dorm and there was no privacy everything was in the open. No lockers in the room where i could leave my bag, had to leave it on the floor. There were 3 charging outlets in a room of 4. The hallway outlet also doesn’t work. Hard to make friends, went to the kitchen to eat and maybe meet some people, but it was completely empty. Maybe I didn’t go at the right time…
There were no bunk beds and was the most spacious hostel room I’ve been in and pretty clean. Our room had entrance to balcony. Kitchen has everything except stove.

United KingdomThere were a lot of mosquitoes in our room, but it’s the same everywhere in Europe!
A very clean hostel. Bathrooms are quite luxurious for a hostel. Beds are comfy. We had a double room, would’ve liked the beds to be together but still very pleased. This hostel has an Italian restaurant next to it where you can get a pizza and soft drink for 7.90€. Highly recommend doing that. 5 minute walk from shopping centre, which has a McDonald’s, lots of clothes shops ie Zara and New Yorker, and supermarket there too. And ATM. 5 minute walk to train station where you can go to the city centre with no bother.

Excellent staff, very helpful with any request, very clean and new rooms, comfortable mattress, huge (but a little disorganized) kitchen with enough place for 6–7 people. Although far away from the city center, the railway station is just behind the hostel, and it takes 17 minutes to get to the city.

PolandThere is no hotel parking. However, we didn't have trouble to find a parking spot in the vicinity in the late evening.
Due to unexpected complications we came late in the evening and were late for the check in, but the option of picking up the keys from a box saved the situation. Also, the staff was very helpful, responding to our emergency queries even after their working hours. The room was large, there was plenty of space inside. For that price it was a really great choice.
