Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

DenmarkAt the happy hour you have to write your name on a paper. Some people misuse that:( so they can put a drink in your name… But the staff is sweet and helpful so no problems, just a stupid way to do it. I miss a chill area after 11 pm

RomaniaI usually do no stay in big hostels, but I enjoyed the secreted garden. It was clean, despite the big flow of people, including the bathrooms. I stayed in the 12-bed bedroom, a free upgrade from a bigger one. The bed was super comfortable. I liked my lower bed which had curtains (the upper beds did not have them). The room was on the first floor, so the music from the rooftop terrace did not bother me. The rooftop has a beautiful view of the city. It is really nice to hang out there during the day or especially in the evening.

IrelandThe hostel had everything we needed and had a cool atmosphere. Note that the private rooms were a bit on the small side if you have a lot of luggage for two people, but fine for a night. Only downside was the music coming from the rooftop bar, it was very loud until late at night time, past what the "quiet" hours of the hostel were advertised as - which was annoying when getting up early for tours, it really didn't need to be quite so loud up there as you could hear it on all floors.

United KingdomReally good sociable hostel in Quito! Beds super comfy with spacious dorms and hot water. Food on the terrace is decent with great views of the city. Friendly staff help you organise everything from Amazon to Cotopaxi. WiFi in the dorms is pretty patchy but in common areas is good enough Location isn’t the best there’s not a lot around

United StatesFriendly staff. Easy check-in. I paid for a 16-bed dorm, and they put me in an 8-bed dorm. It was nice and clean. Very comfy bed. Pillow was a little too tall and hard. The rooftop is nice. The food is average. I signed up for the family style dinner, and I thought I was going to sit on a dedicated table with other travelers. Instead, I had to pick up my plate at the bar, and then I had to look for a place to sit. In the end, I had my dinner alone. The whole experience was ruined by listening to loud Regeton the whole time! 😒

IsraelWe stayed for 2 nights. In the first night we got a very dark room, which smelled not so good and was very noisy. In the second stay we asked to move and it was a big improvement.
Great athmosphere! The staff was very nice and they even booked us a taxi to the airport in 4am for very good price. The rooftop is great and there are many activities the hostel offers. Overall we liked it.

United KingdomThe bathroom we had on the top floor did not have anywhere to store soap etc. within the shower (this would be a very easy fix!). The shower’s glass door backed straight onto a communal hallway, and whilst the glass was frosted, it definitely puts modesty at risk! (The downstairs bathroom didn’t have these issues). The top floor room had a large damp patch on the ceiling, although I have to admit it didn’t feel damp in the room at all, it was just unsightly. As noted above cleanliness was good - another minor point but there was a couple of marks on the wall in the ground floor room which looked like they were from spills (could be very easily fixed). Given what the hostel has to offer, we found value for money to be good however it was more expensive here for a shared bathroom when comparing to other nearby hostels with private bathroom. Just something to bear in mind if budget is your priority!
Really lively hostel, but the musics off by 11pm so you can actually sleepy! We stayed for 5 nights in a private room with shared bathroom. The first two nights we were on the top floor in a nice light room, and after that we moved to the ground floor - I had needed stitches in my knee and would struggle with the stairs. The staff were so helpful in changing the room! They were attentive and nothing was too much trouble throughout the entire stay. We could get in touch with them very easily by Whatsapp and there was always at least 1 person at reception. It was hard to tell how many people we were sharing a bathroom with, but from the rotas we could see they were checked/cleaned 5 times a day and so 90% of the time they were very clean! Water heat and pressure were also very good (which is not always a given in Quito despite the cold weather!). The rooms themselves had what looked like new beds, with plenty of blankets and plug sockets. The rooftop bar is definitely a highlight - the happy hour drinks were cheap (but not otherwise!) and the view is incredible. Guests can also eat for about $6 in the evening- can’t comment on the food but it looked nice! The snacks and drinks we had from the downstairs cafe were good (not the cheapest). Outside of the hostel itself, it’s easy to arrange excursions with the travel agency at reception, and they have so many options!

ItalyEverything was amazing. I think it's one of these places that makes Quito magic. The hostel is its own universe, you can probably love a full life without ever having to live the facility. They have everything that may go from food, to beers, to laundry service, to tour operators, and even sells things you generally need for travelling (sun screens, toothpaste, ...). The network connection is stable, and you can choose among different rooms of the hostel to work.

I think this is the best hostel I've ever visited in my life, and I've been in ~80 countries. It's its own universe. It has a stable WiFi for working, and a lot of different places where you can comfortably work. The evening is a lot of fun since it manages to keep guests inside for evening beers on the rooftops. Everything is super clean, and the beds are very comfortable. I honestly enjoyed the hostel more than the city
