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 KingdomTravelled to Gent by bike to watch the Tour of Flanders. Absolutely loved our stay here, fantastic hospitality and value for money with a great breakfast. Staff were very accommodating and even prepared us a breakfast on our last morning as we had an early ferry to catch. Would definitely recommend staying in this brilliant hostel.

LithuaniaLocation, It isn't a big deal, but this place was not in the city center, like 25 min by walking and 20 min tram + 15 min walking from the central train station.
Vibe, atmosphere, facilities, decorations - amazing. Very friendly and helpful staff. The dorm room was quite big and the beds were comfortable. But the lockers weren't the biggest, even the 30L backpack was hard to put inside the locker. Free breakfast is always a good addition. There is a bar inside the hostel as well. And a very cozy common room.

United StatesIt's a little far away from things, roughly 20 minute from the city center. Which isn't bad but it also means that it's another 20 minutes away from the train station. Lucky public transportation is available. The dorms are not great, not horrible, so like I said before, you may want to splurge and camp in one of the nicer options. Lastly, the bathroom was quite far away from the dorm room I had, but this was just an annoying inconvenience.
This is one cool hostel! The atmosphere and decor is unlike any hostel I've had the opportunity of staying in before. I slept in the dorms which wasn't outstanding, but if you go with a partner or have the money, you should definitely stay in one of the campers! The staff was super nice, the place was pretty clean, the common areas are spacious and unique, and it's close enough to what you'd want to see. Plus there's free breakfast and an amazing kitchen! Overall I would stay here again and I'd recommend this place in a heartbeat.

FranceBathrooms and toilets are neat and clean, but it would be better if the area of the showers had more ventilation as sometimes it smells weird.
The staff from the hostel is very kind, friendly and always ready to help or give any advice or tips about the city. Also, the breakfast is really good as you have many options and can eat whatever you want. The rooms and beds are also comfortable.

AustraliaThe wifi wasn't really working while we were there, the signal didn't reach our room so we were glad to only be there one night. The trailer we stayed in also had a low ceiling height which meant I was constantly bumping my head, since I am tall.
The hostel was a fun and unique concept, beds were clean, breakfast was good. The staff were nice and helpful and the common areas are cute.

South AfricaToo expensive Out of the way location but bus stops are 5 minutes away Not much in the way of supermarkets, alternative bars or restaurants in the area Dorms v basic and far from showers and toilets Dorms didn't have good individual facilities like lights,shelves, individual plug points. Paying a premium price of €43/night I would have expected better facilities. But then there is no other competition in the city. For 43€ I would get a top dorm in Sweden
Unusual Quirky Friendly staff Good breakfast Dorms big and spacious as were the public areas
