Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

I was concerned that there were bedbugs as I got 1-2 small bites. I don't seem to have brought any with me home so that's probably not the case. The ventilation wasn't good enough for me so I slept poorly.
Nice location, convenient to use and very nicely affordable. I like this capsule idea although I require more ventilation than was built in.

I stayed there twice: once in the bunker bed and once in a "cabin"/capsule. The capsule had little hairs from previous guests under the sheets. I don´t know if this can be avoided somehow. A friend of mine got a bed with some bedbugs - but you gave her another bed which was fine. Prices in your hostel-bar are sadly a bit crazy - like everywhere else in CPH - so we avoided buying there. Would be nice though if prices could be more "traveller-friendly". Consider it.
Cleaning staff was really friendly! We could eat our own snacks in the bar - that was really nice and practical!

The capsule bed was boiling hot and there was no air con or air flow. It was -10 outside but we were uncomfortably hot in the pod. Also, there was no signs on doors so we struggled to find the floor we were meant to be on and the exits etc.
Great location, very vibrant and hostel room with double bed facilities

To access the door, you should download an app, but unfortunately, it does not function well. After a day out, when you're too tired you want to return and relax, you have to download the app, register, and go through too many steps before being able to open your door. Moreover, the password sent via email became incorrect after 5 hours, and you need to went down and ask for new password.
The place boasted an excellent location with numerous facilities for relaxation. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Overall, it's a great value for its price. Additionally, there is a reasonably priced locker room, which is a significant advantage.

Toilet/bathroom too small and smelly. Bathroom, clogged when you are showering it forms a pool and if you do not turn it off the water will go all the way out of the shower cabin. Most of the showerhead and roses were broken.
The bar is big and there is lots of places to charge your phone. Water fountain to refill your bottle. The bed is confy, but maybe they should put a curtain and a shelf in the bunks.

The rooms were a little hard to find. It could be useful to put room numbers above the doors of the floors, because I had room 112 and because I didn't know the first digit meant that's on the first floor, it took a while for me to find it. Perhaps logical, though.
Great party hostel if you're in to that kind of thing, the bar is very cosy and there is a lot of space to socialize. Very nice staff, and the breakfast was nice.

Bathrooms were not very clean. codes for doors can be challenging but good for security. You need to write on each level what level you are on. When you walk up the stairs to level 4 or 5 there is no way to know what floor you are on unless you keep count the whole way up. other guest can be noisy and disrespect the quite hours
Budget place for the city. Breakfast is payable at the hostel - not bad. Pods are the size of a double mattress. if you want to keep your bags in there + two people it is very cosy. We stayed in winter and it got stuffy - I imagine in summer it would be hot
