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...).

FranceIt was really hot in the room with only the fan. It’s possible to have the aircon as well but we have to pay for it ($1 for 3 hours i think), I would prefer to pay $2/3 more to have it included.
Everything was really clean and the bed was the most comfortable I’ve ever had in a hostel. There are all facilities we need and I loved the outside shower.

AustraliaI was in a room on the road side of the property and it was a bit noisy. I was also in a room facing away from the road and it was very quiet.
The vibe of the whole place is really relaxing. Kitchens and bathrooms were always very clean. Rooms were clean and comfortable.

United StatesThe key code on entrance door - hard to see numbers/ buttons, so challenging to access without taking photo and zoom in. Delays entering safely. Suggest-Putting a zoomed in image- sign on door or send image on booking app.
Traveller’s Oasis ticks all the boxes for a community space. Creative and hospitable environment. private room and area was comfortable. Good signage on site, kitchens functions well. Laundry area. Helpful staff. Transport and tour services. Owners dogs are sweethearts.

DenmarkThere was no social vibe in this hostel. Doors to the room are noisy. The crew felt kind of stressed (running around) in the morning and after check out time. The crew is only available between 10 - 16 pm. It's hard to see the numbers on the combination lock to open the gate.
The hostel is near the Greyhound bus station and a big shopping mall. The staff will help you with bookings of tours or Greyhound bus. There are 2 Kitchens available. You can do laundry at the hostel.

United KingdomWe couldn't figure out how to lock the doors from the outside, but there are safes under the beds.
Great location, near the Greyhound bus terminal. The rooms are just the right size, the beds are comfortable, the kitchens and bathrooms get clean on a regular basis, the staff at reception is very helpful (they booked all my tours, etc.), there's free instant coffee in the kitchen, the price of laundry is reasonable.
