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...).

Czech RepublicThe hall strongly smelled of cigarettes. The toilet was only available coming from the kitchen, not from the hall, which is a bit uncomfortable when there are people in the kitchen at night. There was a loud music playing in the bar below till late night hours.
The room was clean and the bed was comfy.

PortugalThe staff only there after 4pm so it’s quite difficult if you have an early check in or just to drop your stuff. Also the check out is rather early, that can be resolved it would have been a gem of the city.
Everything inside was perfect. The hostel is well positioned, easy to discover the historical centre; the kitchen is functional; the shower was nice and strong; the bed was very comfortable.

Swedenold building
It was clean and we got a big room. This is more an old building turned to an hostel. The room we got was extremely big with a sofa and table but no private bathroom. The bathroom and the room were clean. It took us some time to find that the hostel is run by a bad and you need to go there to get the access card. It's not a lux hotel it's a clean and confortable place to spend the night. I think for the price is a very good balance. For the parking, I was lucky I found a parking spot in front door and it's for free from 7 pm to 7 am.

HungaryThe hostel didn't have an elevator and the rooms are spread out along three floors. If you are residing on the top, drink responsibly. One other note is that the hostel has a superb bar downstairs, which also means the occasional noisy people leaving the premises at night.
The location is excellent, sights are in arms reach. Restaurants for local cuisine and vegan/gluten free options can be found nearby. The rooms, bathroom and kitchen area were very clean, and the staff very friendly. And free parking nearby. Super good value for money.

Czech RepublicThe facility states, that there is free parking, which was the reason why I selected it. It is not unfortunately the truth because they tell you to park in the street which is in paid parking zone. I think sharing proper information would be good
The place is very close to city center, check in and out was super simple. The room was clean and very comfortable.

ItalyMaybe the noise of the close trams, but not an issue if you close the windows..
Central position, clean rooms, bed with important curtains over the lower beds, that give you a lot of privacy. Lamp, usb and 220 V close to you, clean bathroom (but be aware that its cleanliness depends also from the guests). In breaf, for what I paid, it's a very good quality price value hostel. Can't argue...

ItalyLate check in at 16: very late!
For me, everything was ok: its price, central location, cleanliness, dormitory rooms, silence, privacy, use of a kitchen in two floors, good WiFi connection and a kind young woman who introduced me. My only complaint is the VERY LATE check in at 16 (!), that I found very uncomfortable if you come before!

IrelandI can't point out any particular objection
I want to share a great experience. my trip from Dublin to Cesky Budejovice took longer than I planned so I arrived after midnight. My navigation walked me in circles, several times. So, I didn't manage to go to Cuba bar and Hostel alone. Luckily for me, a lovely young woman, the manager was concerned. And she found me and took me to my destination! Thank you Lucia! I salute you very much! Well, after about twenty hours of travel, finally... a clean and tidy bathroom, soft towels... A nice, single room, tidy, with fragrant soft bed linen. In the morning, coffee in the impeccably maintained kitchen, which has everything a traveler needs and more. Absolutely guaranteed privacy is what I need and all my needs were perfectly met. I heartily recommend Cuba Bar and Hostel. Jasmina Sinicic

GermanyCheck-in at 4pm is a bit late. But they are doing bar and hostel together so it is comprehensible, that they are not open super early. I forgot to check and didn't plan according to the checkin times, so my fault here...

NetherlandsMy dorm had a shared kitchen / living room with 2 other dorms. It seemed like people where living there the kitchen was very disgusting because of this. (Very moldy stuff in the fridge) The folks also ate half my food for a midweek in one night. Saw some abusive stuff going on with those residents. I usually dont review places but i have such mixed feelings about this place because of it i feel like i have to. I think this hostel is great if you arent placed in the dorm i was in
The staff was very nice, the room it self was clean and the bed comfortable. The bar was also really nice and had great vibes

CanadaThe establishment needs to be cleaned better. In particular, the bathroom doesn't look like it gets much attention. The shower, whose drain was filled with body hair and thus didn't drain properly, was filthy, not to mention that the fixture was literally coming off the wall and held in place by a hair elastic! The Wi-Fi network posted on the wall was non-existent, and other networks were weak. Some bedding was missing, upper bunks have no personal light, and there are insufficient power outlets by the bunks. Kitchen signage needs to be posted in English, as Czech is not the primary language of international travellers 🤦🏻♂️
Staff was friendly, access was convenient, and location was good.
