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...).

France- no socket for my laptop how come?
- real pods with a door for each bed and not just a curtain - strangely for a place with so many people it was really clean - except a woman who had a severe night break down (but not the hostel fault) it was calm. - central location - clear instructions to check-in after opening times

China1. Good location; in city center; 2. A bit noisy and chaotic, and crowded and congested, but it is normal for big pod hostels like this scale; 3. No cooktop or kitchen, but with microwave and toaster; 4. Quite clean, acceptable tidiness;

AustraliaNot recommended for people over 183cm (I'm 189cm and found the pod cramped) the pod was also uncomfortably warm sitting at a regular 22°C all night and all the "ventilation" control did was increase the noise.
Good central location, very clean pod

AustraliaThis is just nitpicking now. But starting to look run down. Needs a bit of TLC, wall clean and paint.
It was all that I needed for an overnight in Launceston. POD was very clean and comfortable, and all that I needed. Bathroom/toilet clean, kitchen area was good enough. Felt like a flash backpackers. I really liked it and will stay again if in Launceston for a short stay.

United KingdomBit of disturbance from other guests moving around & talking, I think they didn’t realise their voices travelled. My light control button was missing so first night I couldn’t turn my light off. Sorted the next day by speaking to housekeeper and another guest showing them what was missing.
Great location for visiting the gorge, town & river. The pod was clean & bed comfortable.

IrelandThe pods are not noise proof. If you’re lucky you’ll have quiet neighbours but otherwise you hear every movement and noise. The door in and out of the pods is quite loud so you hear it every time anyone comes or goes which is often as all the pods are in the same room. The communal area doesn’t have proper cooking facilities so you are quite limited to what you can cook
The location of the pods was perfect- right in the centre of Launceston. There’s a large clean communal area where you can cook and chill. The bathrooms were very clean. The pods themselves were perfect for a short stay. They’re very clean and there’s plenty of space for bags outside the pods. Would recommend for a short stay!

AustraliaMaybe the signage could be stand-out more - especially at night. A bit obscure to find at first. .
Opportunities to arrive late at night due to plane flights was a huge bonus. Thankfully other people were there to help get into the facility. The instructions were abit daunting, but managed!! Communication by email/test was great though. The Pods & facilities were great. Very comfortable Pods. Loved it!! Thankyou
