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 KingdomVery basic accommodation, what you would expect for the price, this is a backpackers dormitory.
Location is very central, most of the local attractions are walkable distance, good city vibe all around, lots of restaurants around the place.

ArgentinaThe entrance is quite narrow so at booking time the entrance was crawled. The walls are quite thin, and you may hear what is happening on the next/above rooms if guests are noisy. They charge 3 euros per unit to keep your luggage until check in time at 3pm. The street may be quite noisy on summer late in the night.
Excellent location. The room was very clean, and beds were comfortable. Room has just space to sleep and a locker for your goods, as any youth hostel. Is still family friendly and they book private rooms. The bathroom is brand new and is kept very clean. The shower was excellent. The window has a good view of the street. Room matches the photos provided. The check in should be completed in an app available a day before the arrival and the room key works with an app in your phone.

United Kingdom- Absolutely awful smell from the vent in the en suite the whole time (the bathroom itself seemed clean) - We were on the 3rd floor and the window didn't open more than a few inches because of the sloping roof. Combined with the broken lift during our visit, it made me a little nervous about fire risk - Due to the location, the streets outside are noisy all through the night and morning, which is problematic when there is no AC (earplugs are 100% necessary) - Brown stains on one towel - Low water pressure
- Very central - Most of the staff were friendly - Comfortable double bed - Soap, towels and fan provided - Key app was very easy to set up and use - Working WiFi (albeit slow) - Hot water - If you are staying for several days and you are present in the room during daily cleaning, the staff will knock on the door to offer you a change of towel - Bins were changed when we were out one day - Despite the small room, there was somewhere to hang clothes and store items

PortugalThe property is located at the intersection of two pedestrian streets with high traffic throughout the day. Luckily, the single bedroom where I stayed was located facing the interior of the block (not the streets) and was relatively quiet, but even there, I could occasionally hear people speaking loud in the streets. The room is ok to spend a couple of nights (you're probably spend most of the day out anyway), but the evenings were not very comfortable. The duvet was too thick for the outside temperature and sleeping without the duvet was too cold. The fan helped, but it is not ideal to have it on at low speed the entire night, facing a wall so you don't get the colder air directly.
The property has a great location, no doubt about it! The single room where I stayed for two nights is simple, yet functional. Everything works fine and most of the necessary amenities are available (small bathroom with walk in shower, cloth hangers, relatively comfortable single bed, desk, fan and a very small tv). The staff is professional, but maybe not the friendliest.

United KingdomThere was only a bedsheet and a pillow with no pillowcase on the bed, so I asked for a duvet/blanket, and got a duvet with no cover. I used a t-shirt for my pillowcase, and didn't care much about the duvet, but not everyone may be able to handle that. They had only small towels to rent for €2. Because it's the city centre it was quite loud. No lockers, just cabinets that you need your own padlock for (but you can buy one from the reception).
Very good location, right in the city centre. Felt very safe walking around late at night, because the area was well lit and there were people around (no dark alleys). The staff was very friendly too. The beds had full curtains.
