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...).

New ZealandThe beds were a bit rickety (wobbly, broken ladder etc) and could do with a bit of fixing up.
Staff were helpful and it was nice and cheap. Perfect for a solo traveller who just needs a place to sleep. Close to town as well.

AustraliaNoise from the trains at night made it hard to sleep. The curtain also didn’t cover the entire window so it was bright during the night from the lighting outside. The bunk beds were also pretty wobbly. We couldn’t safely secure our stuff.
Exactly what we were expecting for the amount you pay. It’s a budget hostel. Beds were comfy, showers in good working order, it was clean, kitchen well equipped, and friendly owner. Also location is great being next to a train station.

South Koreathe manager is, if i put it in a good way, friendly, if put it the opposite, loud and weird. he is often talking to himself or yelling at somebody, DAY AND NIGHT. ALL THE TIME. yes. night time too. the hostal is RIGHT next to the train track and the bus stop. it was somehow helping me to sleep better, but if you are the kind of person who can't take it, you know what to do.
excellent location. you can go right to düsseldorf or köln from the train station right in front of the hostel. the bus stop right in front allows you to go over to the netherlands. the pricing was decent as well. it has a shared kitchen which was very useful.

This is a guest house with a pleasant owner, a cozy kitchen and a balcony, the walk to the station or the center is about 15-20 minutes, the price is very reasonable. Also a beautiful cat lives in the house.

SwedenI had given them notice well in advance that I would arrive at noon, when the reception was going to open. The receptionist arrived around 15 minutes later after I called them. No lockers in the room that was possible to lock, but they arranged a small locker in the communal area for me.
A quite nice small hostel close to the city centre. Large kitchen with enough of equipment and a good seating area. There is also a small garden.

SpainThe hostel was located quite far from the historic centre. It's also close to a train station so the sound of the trains passing by might be bothersome for others (for me it wasn't though). The building looked quite old inside (sort of run down to be honest). The stairs were also quite dark at night when I stayed there. The check-in was until 8 PM, which is quite early (I arrived late at around 8:30 PM due to a bus cancellation, but fortunately some employees of the hostel were about to leave at that time and they let me enter and do the check-in).
The shared room was quite big as well as the bed which was quite comfy. Overall the hostel looked generally clean. The staff was also quite helpful and there are a few interesting places to see located nearby.

BrazilThe room was too warm because one of the guests put the heater on to max strength. It was unberable. It is not the hostel's fault, but something to have in mind.
