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...).

FranceNot the correct number of lockers in each room compared to beds, so has to store my stuff in a different floor. The kitchen was beyond unclean to the extent that I cleaned the pans before cooking…. There was not originally a duvet on my bed so they had to find me one from somebody else’s as clearly there weren’t enough.
Good location (although this means more noise). Nice staff. Able to leave my bag behind. Breakfast included.

United KingdomI had an awful stay here. It was way too loud at night until about 4/4:30am- I know it is because of the location but there is no real warning about it. Reception closes at 8pm so you cannot get any help past then. They provide phone numbers to call when reception are closed but I tried calling both numbers (at only 8:45pm) as I needed some help but no one picked up. There was 1 toilet with no windows/ventilation so it was horrible anytime I needed to go. The showers were poor. Check in is extremely late (4pm). The dorm rooms were tiny and they put 7 of us in an already small 6-person dorm. Even though it seems cheap, it is still expensive for the poor service and amenities.
The location is central and there is a cool common area in the basement. Still- don’t stay here.

PolandNever again. The room is dark. There is a bad smell in the room and it is very very hot inside. There is no proper ventilation. The bed mattress is covered with some plastic or rubber material which is very noisy and unpleasant in touch. The bed sheet is too small to cover whole mattress. Cleanliness of the rooms and bathrooms leaves much to be desired. And finally, I had a problem with my door card. It worked well for the front door, but it stopped working for my room door, twice during three days. It was very inconvenient, especially that both times it stopped working were in the night, when the reception was already closed. I have tried to contact somebody by the phone numbers listed on the reception door but there was no answer. On WhatsApp I did not get answer for over 10 days now. If nobody from my room opened the door when I was knocking, I would had to sleep on the couch in the common area. Unthinkable. ACH, if you have such problems with proper card programming, then at least invest in 24/7 reception. And please clean up more often and better.
The location is for sure the biggest advantage of the hostel. It is located right on the market square, so it is close to everything. Another positive aspect is breakfast. It is a standard buffet with enough diversity of food. The last thing I want to notice is many showers. There is never a queue, so you can jump in any time.

FranceThe hostel was dirty and disgusting. The basement, where you park your bikes, have your breakfast, cook and was very humid with mold. Hard to find toilet paper in the toilets. The showers smelled like sewage... I think it was the worst hostel I ever stayed in my life

IrelandFirst, the manager (I believe he's Indian, but I'm not sure of his name) was incredibly rude and at times even aggressive. Our experience with him culminated in an awful check-out process where he basically kicked us out of the hostel without even letting us take a shower. The cleanliness of this place is horrendous. It’s clear they don’t launder the bed linens between guests, which is just disgusting. The entire place feels dirty and poorly maintained. Sure, the price might seem attractive, but trust me, it’s not worth it. The experience was an absolute nightmare from start to finish. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place at all costs. You’ll thank me later.
The only positive thing about this hostel is its location—it's very close to the main sights and the city center. On a positive note, there’s a Brazilian guy named Tom who works there. He’s the only person who seems to understand how to treat guests properly. He was gentle and professional, a stark contrast to the rest of the staff.

CanadaWouldn’t recommend. Unsecure place. They were out of locks for the lockers when I arrived. I said that was fine because I brought my own. I used mine to secure my valuables including my passport, camera, cash and extra credit card. I found out after the first night that the lockers only work with their custom locks, and I’m not sure why they don’t have more than enough for every locker. Turns out I left my valuable unsecured for the night, and if I wanted to stay another night it would be the same. I decided to leave and stay elsewhere, and told the front desk the reasons. I asked if I could get a refund for the second night given I had to leave for security reasons. They said to send a message through booking.com which I did only to receive a short reply saying “locks are provided”. I followed up again with a detailed explanation and I got zero reply. Don’t stay here. Their customer service and security sucks.
The location is good. The service desk clerk was good upon arrival.
