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...).

Czech RepublicVery gine reception, not very friendly app, many stairs and lift only one for relatively big hostel ...
Very old house in the center, it means sometimes + and also -, with art deco interror mostly in corridor. Beds has small curtain for emotionally and visual barrier from others, rooms relatively big but full of beds and mostly random and chaotic in numbers, toilets and shower in the room in form of small bathroom but really not very comfy and small. Reception has own app for users smith like "Goki" but not very friendly app. Breakfast and others staff is hard to say, not using f.e. luggage, laundry, kitchen ... but looks simple. Reception very small in corridor and hard to be there... Can't wait awesome, can't wait bad ..in the center ...

Irelandnothing much to dislike
My stay at the hostel exceeded my expectations. The vibrant atmosphere and friendly staff made me feel right at home. The central location was convenient for exploring the city, and the cleanliness of the facilities was impeccable. Despite the short duration of my stay, I formed lasting connections with fellow travelers, making it a truly memorable experience. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a comfortable and sociable hostel environment.

NetherlandsI did not like the pickpockets in the area near the hostel. My wallet was stolen right around the corner. also, even though the lockers were sufficiently large, they were also partially broken (although, in the end, secure).
The hostel was great, and the staff was very friendly. I appreciated the size of the rooms and the fact that both a small suitcase and backpack would fit in the lockers. The showers were also very modern and clean!

Germanyjust a tiny thing. the TV in our room didn't work.
I went to Brussels to celebrate the new year. The staff was really friendly and respectful. A very polite guy at the reception let us pray (we're Muslims) at the hotel before our check-in. He even let us keep our bags there. I'd like to thank him. I enjoyed playing card games with my friends in the breakfast room. Our room was cozy and comfortable. The location of the hotel is right in the center and near all touristic places, shopping stores, and guided tours. i.e. 4 min from The Grand Place.

ItalyI had to pay three euro to let my suitcase in the luggage room. Moreover, the common room was not comfortable (no sofas, magazines nor TV,...)
The best about this place is the location (5 min or less to the Grand Place). They also have board games in the common room, which are nice if your travel with friends. Each room has it own bathroom.

GreeceThe beds are assigned to you by the management system and the mattresses are not good. E.g. in a four beds bedroom with only 2 visitors, we were given a bunk bed. If this system was not in place, we could have choosed two down beds (first come - first serve basis) for better convenience and privacy. The room door opens with a mobile application and Bluetooth enabled. The app didn't work for me and it was troublesome, however the reception gave me a card key. There was not any hanger in the room, neither a table with chairs. You pay extra for breakfast while the price is already high and much higher than other hostel. Noise insulation is something to consider as well.
Located centrally at the most highlighted area. The bathroom is comfortable and renovated.

AustraliaIn 5 days only could use 3 times the lift. Always busy, or for 2 days did not work. You could hear everything from every single room. Inclusive, people having sex very loudly. The looker was very small. The room is big enough to replace it for big ones. A person has done a check in 1:30 am, I think is not a great time to allow someone to do the check in when everybody is sleeping. The rest was alright. I would recommend it.
The bed with the curtains give you privacy. The locations was amazing. Just in the heart of everything. Walking distance from train station and sightseeing. I would recommend it 100%.
