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...).

NetherlandsThe room and bathroom were smaller than I imagined. We got a shared 4 bed room only for us, but I imagine that it would be uncomfortable sharing a room this small with strangers. Also no breakfast at the hostel in the days we stayed there, minor inconvenience.
Very good location, nice staff and nice common areas. Big storage area to live the bags before check in or after check out.

The location is close to the central station and within a walking range to the cathedral, the old market and shopping district. The staff is friendly and helpful. I will be staying here, if I make it back to Cologne again.

GermanyThe beds and pillows very uncomfortable. The bedsheets were super clean but with many holes. There was a lot of noise from the nearby big street - from ambulances, cars and people. I had to wear earplugs and they saved me. The room was slightly cold and there was no way to regulate the temperature (we stayed In a double room). there was no place to put toiletries and n the shower room in which there was no lamp. overall, very good value for the money but can have some minor improvements.
Very centrally located with spacious community rooms; staff was very friendly and nice. Good water pressure in the bathroom.

GermanyI had a few questions as well as changes to do before our arrival. Both times the staff on the phone gave me long, far fetched answers which just weren’t genuine but felt more like a waste of my time. Also for a hostel I’d expect some small degree of professionalism. The outside area closes at 22:00.
Since the hostel I situated pretty central it was easy for us to reach our destinations by foot. The beds were comfortable & the property is clean, fairly new with a full kitchen.

ItalyThe only reason why I gave 9 and not 10 is because the shower was not properly clean and there were hair all around which was not that pleasant to see.
The hostel was really nice, with comfortable beds and the possibility to set the heater' temperature in the room (non-centralized system). Common areas well organized with free water dispenser and also common bathrooms (in addition to those in the rooms) which were very cleaned. Position was perfect, 5 min by goot from platform 11 of Cologne train station. Check in was also possible between 3pm which I highly appreciated and staffs was really nice. One more point was given by the possibility to store your luggage after check out. A storage room is provided for the cost of 2€ (+5€ deposit for key, which are later refundable) for the whole day. This price is very convenient since price in the train station starts from 3€ for 30min.
