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...).

United StatesThe passed out guy in the common room (at 16:00) outside my room and the smell in the room. The lack of availability of the staff within 30 minutes of checkin. I couldn't;t find anyone at reception or at the places listed on the door it was like no one worked there. If you have a problem there isn't anyone to help.
Honestly not much. Just the location

Germanyunfortunately hostel smelled nasty in the fourth floor, where my room was. the room had to be ventilated due to this odor. It had a musty, sulfuric rotten smell. mostlikely there is mold from the wood or something, the showers are in the third floor underneath my room. it smelled the same there as well. Had to pay 2.50€ for a towel. We wouldn't recommend it if you want to sleep cause the club on the other side of the street plays loud music all night long.
Location is literally in the center, breakfast was great, toast and lots of cold cuts, as well as cereals. choosen this location due to it's price and location

NorwayThe room had an extremely strong chemical smell. Felt dizzy every time I went to the room. The room was by no means suitable for sleeping. Toilets were usually out of toilet paper and pretty dirty¨ Showers closed at night Bar was closed even though it was a saturday. The hostel was not really that social and lacked common areas for meeting other travelers.
Perfect location, litterrally on the main square. The hostel is located in a beautiful old building, at least the facede.

United StatesThe showers only put out scalding hot water. The elevator was broken. The spiral staircase was harrowing. The other people were weird. Half the sinks didn’t work. The room smelled musty, was painted hot pink, and was decorated with a two large rainbow unicorns. A man came into the room early in the morning to put stacks of linens on the bed.
Just the location. The conditions were so bad at least it forces you to stay out of the room and explore the city. Antwerp is great.

PortugalWe literally couldn’t get into the hostel before 4 PM, we had to keep waiting outside with our bags in the freezing cold. The beds make a lot of noise. The shower water is BOILING HOT!!!! You could literally get burns and the temperature cannot be changed. The shower itself is also very bad. The facilities were quite dusty and the bathrooms and the men’s showers smelled bad.
The only good thing is the location

SpainThe hostel is above a pub, during the weekend is impossible to sleep due to the loud music and people screaming. Half of the showers did not work properly. Water was either extremely cold or extremely boiling.

JapanThe shower was cold. I stayed on a Saturday night so, around 11:00 p.m. I started hearing music from the bar downstairs. It was so loud that I couldn't sleep until morning. I knew the bar was downstairs, but I didn't realize how loud it was.... I also had to endure the snoring of a man.
The breakfast provided was very helpful. It was delicious, and a great option!

UkraineThere was no any ladder to the top bunk of the bed!! It was just my case, the other beds in the room had ladders, but this problem was not solved (and even tried to solve) by personnel. Also it was too loud after 11 pm till 4 am, because there was a party with a loud music organized. The staff did nothing with this situation (although the hostel rules said not to make noise after 11pm). I could not fall asleep until the end of this party because of the noise.
Good breakfast. Nice location, right in the city center. Pleasant personnel.
