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 KingdomI'm staying only for 2 nights and when i came back from walking my bed were taken away so I went down to ask why someone took it out, she said she thought i left already. First she could have check it first, second she said there was no bag left, I said I put it in the locker so she didn't even checked it. So I nee to make my bed again and I came back and forth for this which is unnecessary.

ParaguayWould love to have lockers be a little bigger to fit a medium bag in it, but it was still useful for valuable things :) The bunk beds are made of metal railings so they are sturdy but getting up and down the beds is a bit noisy, you would be a bit uncomfortable if you are a light sleeper, but nothing that can't be solved with earplugs
Super good location, many small cafes near with terrific coffee and sweets, both vegan and non-vegan. The shared bedroom is spacious and clean, bunk beds are sturdy enough to not feel the movements when going up or down the higher bed, and the mattress is comfortable enough for a good sleep, the shared bathroom as well. The common area is clean, the kitchen very well equipped and provided with coffee and tea throughout the day. Staff is super nice too, including Max the cat :)

United KingdomThere’s no type C socket at the bed only the usb one, also it would be better if there’s a curtain for each bed. But it’s good enough as there are a few power sockets in the room and we can use our own towel or scarf for more privacy
Very good value for money! I do feel like home, the kitchen and shower is clean and the common area comfortable

ItalyI advise the hostel to assign beds on arrival. They give you the blanket and the sheets and you have to do your own bed, whichever you find free in your room. However, after I made my bed, and despite the fact that I left my stuff on it to signal it was mine, on my return I found another guy sleeping on it. The jerk also threw my stuff on the floor and he didn't move when I tried to wake him up. The hostel staff was nice to give me a bed in another room, and a complimentary breakfast for an incident that was not their fault. However I think, to avoid this happening next time, bed should be assigned and people keep the same bed if they stay multiple days.
Nice hostel, centrally located, only 15 mins walk from the main attractions and in area packed with restaurants and cafe. The rooms are big enough for six people. I was in a room with the shower and the toilet on the floor, outside of the room, but it was comfortable using it. I really liked the lounge, cozy and quiet, and the breakfast.
