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...).

AustraliaHonestly speaking, all I didn't like was, was that I had to depart. And return home.
The comfortable happy vibes, Byron's famous 40 km beach directly across the road to "wake up".

I like the location to access the belongil beach taking only 3minutes same as waiting to cook cup noodle. Tree house which is located near this hostel plays good laid-back music everyday. I love this place.

The cleanest hostel we've ever stayed in, the beds were super comfy & the outdoor communal area was so lovely. The free shuttle bus to/from town is great. We only stayed one night, but wish we'd been there longer. Highly recommend a stay here.

United KingdomThe hostel was slightly further out of town but it's a nice walk and at low tide you can walk back along the beach. They did double charge me but they were happy to sort it out!
The rooms were huge! The communal bathrooms were really clean and locked to limit the amount of people using them. The hostel had a cool vibe. Would definitely stay again!

United KingdomNot much to say here except that the shower pressure wasn’t great and it’s worth noting that the town centre felt a bit far away but the walk was nice and felt safe even at night time.
Kitchen was very well equipped and spacious, our room was clean with a comfy bed and a small sink which was useful. All communal areas had a great atmosphere, there were free activities and the staff were really lovely.

NetherlandsSuper friendly staff at this wonderfull hostel just across the street from Belongil Beach. It’s located a bit far away from town (if you want to walk), but they have a free shuttlebus service that runs every hour from 8am-9:30pm to bring you to/pick you up from the busstation. Nice room with comfy bed and shower (got a free upgrade upon arrival). Great that they organize several weekly events (bbq, trip to lighthouse) and the option to rent bicycles or surfboards. Added bonus is the Treehouse cafe/bar next door (thumbs up for the relaxing tunes by the DJ on site). Would have stayed longer if I had more time :)

Australiathere was just a lack of communication between staff regarding my account. I had payed with the NSW vouchers and they forgot to redeem one of the vouchers. i thought this was sorted on check in then on check out the lady asked me to pay a balance so I had to explain again the whole story. but beside that it was a lovely stay.
staff are very nice, smiling all the time especially Augustina and Carolina. I had the private room which was serviced every day, fresh towels everyday, shared toilets were clean most of the day, they actually care about cleanliness. The shuttle to town was great, walking distance to Belongil Beach, and the bar next door TreeHouse do great food and coffee.

Friendly and helpful staff. Free surfboard hire. Free shuttle bus to the city every hour. Lighthouse tour and yoga was nice. Good facilities at the hostel. Except the Wi-Fi which wasn’t good. Clean toilets and showers.

This hostel is one of the best we’ve stayed in. it’s clean, comfy, has a great vibe and the staff are super friendly and welcoming. They regularly clean the kitchen and bathrooms throughout the day and every morning come round to offer clean towels and to hoover your room! We stayed in a private room which had a little sink in it which we found to be a nice touch! The beds were comfy, the linen was clean. they had a good variety of social activities that were organised by the hostel. The kitchen was clean and had lots of space too and seating areas. The location was perfect, the hostel ran free shuttles all day into the evening. Overall a great hostel! Would highly recommend!
