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...).

They provide free breakfast and bedding. You have nothing to complain due to the room rate. Geneva Hotel's room rate is a half or a third of other hotels.

SpainI had to be up early so I went to bed at 10 with an empty room and all 5 of the beds filled up in the next two hours. Would have liked to be placed in a room with people who were checking in earlier than 10 pm so I wouldn’t be woken up every 20 minutes to a new person coming into the room.
Location was amazing. The access to transportation was AMAZING and so so helpful. Staff was wonderful, the room and facilities were clean. My bed was comfortable and sheets were clean. Loved having a light and charging port at each bed.

SwitzerlandThe washroom and the breakfast were sub-standard in my view. They can do better than this.
The facility is generally clean, especially the common areas are kept clean. The rooms are not very clean. The washroom I used was really not the best. I think but for the high cost of accommodation in Geneva, this hostel would have been poorly rated. The beds in the rooms are not comfortable at all, and the breakfast is sub-standard.

LuxembourgThe rooms are uncomfortably warm (25+ degrees in mid May). Not enough power outlets in common areas.
The hostel is in close reach from the train station and we’ll served by public transportation. The staff is very friendly and polite. The breakfast is simple but convenient. Toilets and showers are split by gender, simple and clean. Lockers are available to store luggage on departure day.

FranceStaff looked after us well. We had a super private room with a terrace and view over the lake. The beds are not very comrortable, but it is a youth hostel! Breakfast was good. The hostel is close to the city centre and restaurants but not the old town. For a youth hostel it was impressive.

United KingdomIt reminded me of a school inside. It doesn’t feel as cosy as other hostels because it is so big. There’s close to 100 rooms
It felt very well organised and everything ran smoothly. There is a kitchen (though it’s labelled “picnic area” for some reason). Breakfast is limited but ok given that it’s free. Lockers are included in the price.
