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...).

GermanyYou only get a thin sheet as blanket. A normal blanket costs extra. The male dorm has 16 beds, which is not really visible in the photos. Still I was the only guest in that room due to the low season. There is no stove to cook things
It’s in a rather quite area, but some nice bars and restaurants are close by. Metro station Paraiso is very close. Breakfast was good, even with banana bread one day. The interior is nicely done

United KingdomThey put guests in adjacent beds even though the dorm is empty (2 beds used out of 16) - this happened the last time I stayed too. It just makes it unnecessarily crowded with bags by the beds when there is so much free space elsewhere. Otherwise, can't fault the service and staff :)
This a great choice - clean, comfortable dorm. Clean bathrooms. Great wifi. Great location for digital nomads as very quiet during the day. This was my second stay and is my preferred hostel for São Paulo. Highly recommended - stay here!

United KingdomWomen snoring in the female-only dorm was unfortunate. Bring ear plugs and an eye mask as the curtains don't block the sunlight.
This is a lovely place to stay for a few nights in São Paulo. Really friendly and helpful staff, everywhere was really clean, comfy beds with privacy curtains and access to a plug. Perfect for digital nomads as the wifi is excellent and there are quiet spaces to work. Also a luxury to have a laundry service on site. A great location too - it's very close to the metro which has a direct line to/from the central bus station. I would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended.

RussiaNone of the staff spoke any English. Every single thing besides the bed itself -- from soap to blanket -- was extra charge. Breakfast wasn't particularly vegan-friendly (not that it ever is at hostels, but just FYI, fellow vegan travelers). Personally, I'd prefer free soap and blanket over free breakfast. There is a kitchen, but it's not equipped with much besides a microwave (i.e. there is no stove). To boil water, I had to ask the staff to bring out a kettle which I wouldn't be able to access otherwise. I was moved from female to mixed dormitory on the second night, because the hostel was expecting "a large party of teenagers". I don't think there was a way to control the AC, so I was freezing during the night. Saw some tiny insects parading around the lockers in the mixed dorm, perhaps attracted by someone's forgotten soda bottle that was just standing there for two days.
The subway is close. The staff was nice enough, despite us having to converse via Google Translate. The vibes were very calm, with quiet hours instilled, so it was a good place to rest and get over my jetlag. Everything seemed clean.

United KingdomThey have a kitchen, but it is only grill and microwave so you are limited with no stove to cook. It was quiet in the hostel, not too many guests so not that social backpacker atmosphere that some might look for. If you just want a nice clean ideal place to relax though it would be great
It's 2 minutes from the metro. Very clean all over the hostel There is a basic breakfast included, it was some juices, tea / coffee, bread, spreads and some fruits. The beds had curtains for privacy, plug sockets and a light. Lockers also in the room.

BrazilWe have to pay to store our bags before check-in, and if we want an early check-in, there’s an additional fee. Otherwise, we’re not allowed to use the common areas before check-in, including tables for working or even a place to rest. We have to wait outside the hostel until check-in time. This is the first time I've encountered this, as I’m usually able to wait in the common areas.
The room was ok with 2 bathrooms what is very good. it was very clean also. Localization is ok.
