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 KingdomI was t sure how to access the property at first; it is obvious when you have been before but not when you’re new! There was a really bad smell of cigarette in the entrance, (although the whole place is not smoking( which is a turn off for me, but no issue in the rest of the property.
A smaller hostel with great old cottage vibe about it! Has a kitchen, lounge, bedrooms with few beds, keeping it cosy.

ChinaThe stair is kinda narrow so it’s recommended to watch your steps when climbing, but it’s okay to me.
The staff are super nice and friendly, providing sightseeing suggestions. The room is comfortable and clean. With the convenient location, it’s the best choice to have a rest after exploring the city.

United StatesCheck in hours were a bit strict (morning till 1pm?? and 5pm till 10?)
Easy to find, warm, safe, quiet and comfortable. Clean and near to subway and everything. SPotless kitchen has EVERYTHING you might need. VERY cute old building to itself w/ tiny stairs. You would feel as if you are living in a village rather in the middle of a concrete and glass noisy jungle. Highly recommended even if you eat like a bird (breakky is sparse).

GermanyMost importantly some noise isolation on the windows would be helpful for a more comfortable stay due to traffic. Breakfast is included and it is quite a basic, cheap and poor one. At least the quality of materials could be increased. Filter coffee instead of powder, a boiled egg perhaps would be kind
I was lucky, since i got the whole room for myself. The room is spacious enough for 6 people, there is even a couch additionally. It was very clean, the checkin was fine and pleasant, there is free coffee/tea. The staff was kind enough. The location gives you a nice walk option around

GermanyAs a solo female traveler, I feel like an all women's room would have been nice as well, though it worked fine with the mixed room provided too.
The hostel is pretty much right at a subway station from which you can reach most places in cologne easily; a bus stop is near as well. The area it's located in is very quiet, which was nice. The host was very lovely and helpful regarding any questions and finding your way around the city and public transport! He also provided me with a map for the subway / underground as well as a lock for the storage boxes. The included breakfast was nice, too, with a kitchen and supplies as well as some basic breakfast foods, tea and coffee included in the price.

UkraineI could see that the owner was quite strict but we didn't experience any unpleasantness or language barrier.
Location was great, very close to public transportation. We liked our 4-person room, everything was clean and comfortable, no issues with water temperature and pressure in the shower. Good kitchen that has everything you need. Check in times are limited, we were running late because of a bus delay but we called the owner and were able to move in slightly later.
