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 KingdomThe area right outside felt a bit dodgy and the entrance could have better signage.
Location was very convenient with Trams in multiple directions stopping right outside. Also a fairly easy journey on foot. The room was nice and spacious and the kitchen area and bathrooms had everything we needed.

QatarIts a bit far from the city. The toilet & shower are a bit far from our room and there’s no place to put your toiletries inside the shower. You have to bring your own towel cause they dont have. You have to request for a new bedsheet coz they will not change it.
Perfect to those who’s travelling solo or with friends and on a budget. They have good kitchen where you can cook your food and there is a grocery store in front and some restaurants nearby its accessible to the metro as well. The room is big for a cheaper price.

United Kingdomthere were a lot of loud kids running around that started about halfway through our stay that slightly ruined the atmosphere, as previously it was mostly relaxed adults, which became a lot of noise, knocking on the door, etc
the cleaners were helpful when I asked questions and we circumvented the language barrier using Google translate.

GermanyEverything was great. There´s no real reception so not sure how good it´s the communication if something is needed but we didn´t need to so everything was great :)
The hostel is great for the value! The location is perfect, tram and all kind of shops directly at the corner. Great clean toilets and showers and super chilled environment. Not too loud or messy for being a hostel! Highly recommended and will come back :)

The late check in was exactly as communicated. The kitchen was well equipped for our purposes. The showers were a little jaded but adequate. The situation was good with a rail station, tram stops and cafes nearby.

United KingdomRoom gets very hot and due to proximity to the street it's hard to sleep with the window open. It was quite hard to identify the hostel from the street and the lack of staff/ self check in arrangements didn't feel super secure.
Room was a good size, toilet and showers were clean. Location is great, right next to the tram stops, large supermarket opposite and many restaurants nearby.

BrazilThe neighbohood is a bit loud as the tram passes directly at the street in front of the window. Fist night was ok. Second night, some drunk guys were very loud at the corridor during the night, and as there's no staff at the hostel, there was also no one from the adminstration to ask for silence. But nothing a good ear protector can not solve.
The room was clean, had a good bed, wardrobe and desk. Shared bathroom also very clean. Easy checkin, my questions were promptly answered when I called. In general, compatible with price, clean and organized facilities.
