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...).

PortugalDirty sheets, no sound isolation from the discos that are above the hostel, you can't sleep at all, even if you pay more to have more privacy in a 6 person room you will still share the only wc with huge groups and that means broken sinks, dirty sinks all the time. This all makes sense when you talk with the "manager", the lack of customer service, and communication. He was rude and unprofessional admitting these faults are characteristic of the hostel saying "if you read the Google reviews and are bad, it's your fault that you booked" Stay away

ColombiaI do not award the hostel with 10 points because near my bed there was neither a socket nor a bed lamp.
The hostel location was great, just right in the downtown, which means many tourist places close to it. Besides, the hostel staff was really kind. Breakfast was incredibly generous and delicious. At night, the atmosphere in the hostel sorroundings is so alive. However, noise was not an issue inside the hostel.

EgyptRoom was large but not alot of space to keep big luggage.
Location is great in the center of Antwerp and 10 minutes from all the shopping and a few minutes from the christmas markets and all the historical Places. Room was good and large. Breakfast was good and simple and also there was a kitchen so you can do whatever you need or want. Also great break area with games for groups.

RomaniaI was, literally, pushed out from the hotel on 24, September with a stupid explanation . Perhaps the guy was”high”, but still I want to have a checkout with the explanation of this event and if the blockage of my money. Whatever are so nice hostels in Antwerp , don’t take chance to stay in this location
They have only one floor with showers 😂 . Very funny to go up and down on the stairs to take a shower

RomaniaThe checkout bill is an obligation of any hostel and I still wait it, mainly after the Reception guy (presenting himself as “manager”) oblige me to leave the place at 9 PM, in a raining cold night and refused to return my money for the remaining three nights as an “amend”. I should call the Police and the financial inspection authority, but it’s not my job to ask for their inspection, the owner should make it .

He has serious metal issues, i'm going to make police report for gender violencia, i was too afraid he was going yo atack me phisically.

SpainNothing to declare :) Just some annoying roomates sharing my room and speaking too loud at 2am, they need to grow up and behave. But that's not hostel's fault.
The location (next to the historical old town), the staff (kind and they allowed me to leave my backpack for some hours) the free breakfast in the morning.
