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...).

During my one-night stay at the hostel, I was impressed by several factors that made my experience enjoyable. Firstly, the hostel was spacious and well-organized, providing ample room for guests to move around comfortably. The excellent security measures gave me peace of mind and ensured a safe stay. I also appreciated the availability of sufficient storage space for my luggage, eliminating any clutter in the dormitory. The toilets and showers were kept clean and well-maintained, which added to the overall hygienic environment. Moreover, the breakfast offered at the hostel was satisfying and provided a good variety of options to start the day. All in all, this hostel stood out for its size, organization, security, cleanliness, and satisfying breakfast options.

United KingdomThe beds were free standing bunk beds that weren't attached to the wall or anything so you felt every movement of the other person. When I was climbing onto the top bunk it felt like the whole bed would topple over. Also no curtains which I never understand!
Great location, easily walkable to everything. A good key card system to open all the doors and lockers; felt very secure

United KingdomI had a early train. So I went to breakfast at 6.30 am, with my 2 suitcases. It was a bit difficult to get thru the restricted turn stile entrance, at the entrance of Breakfast room. Also out again. I wanted to not miss My train, so was trying to leave as early as I could. Have breakfast quick as I could. As you have to get a bus or walk. I got bus to station.
It was about 9 days ago. I do not remember any Problem. It was easy for the train station, bus, lake. A Lidl was walking distance. I liked the mountain and Lake view from my domitory room! I liked the Breakfast included.

LithuaniaFor sure it is not the hostel where you could quietly relax or sleep. First of all, the noise protection does not exist in this hostel, because, you could hear all night long people walking in the corridor, elevator working and DOORS SLAMMING so loudly. Second, their rule to put the bedsheets by yourself is a bit uncomfortable, I do understand it safes cleaning time, but it is the hostel, some people are checking in 1am and placing the bedsheets and some people checking out at 3am and again, taking off the bedsheets, turning the light, making the noise. I am not that picky, stayed in many party hostels, but there is not even a party, just loud WC doors slamming, so all walls start shaking and strange procedures...
everything was clean, staff was nice, super cool that breakfast are included in the price

SwitzerlandThe vending machines accept only cash, no other way to buy a coke late in the evening. I only had card. The guy at the reception in the evening was alone and overloaded.
The amenities are clean and for a hostel very good. I also liked the fact that I had a locker closed and opened by my key card. The staff was great, I was leaving early and they offered me to make lunch to go and were disappointed that I did not have time to wait for it.
