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...).

AustriaMost showers were out of order. The facilities were quite unclean. Being a hostel should not excuse this. We hear a lot from the rooms.
Well located

TurkeyThe only thing is maybe it could be better if there is air conditioning in the rooms because you need to open the windows and since it is in the center, you hear all noises in the street but it is not a problem, just advice.
i loved here ! the city is so beautiful but if you stay in the Imaginary hostel it becomes more beautiful because you just stay in the center of the old town! Firstly the staff , they are amazing people! Super friendly and kind ! 7/24 open reception, whatever you need they help you . Rooms are really organized, you have a private zone . Because all beds are covered with the wood so nobody sees you actually. Showers and toilets are also clean and good. I mean it is not their fault if a person who is 18 and plus years old doesn't know how to use the toilet or shower. Because yeah there are some uneducated people who stayed in the hostel. The kitchen is pretty useful, you can cook easily. Absolutely recommend! If I go to Tallinn I'm gonna stay here again! Thanks for the nice experience!

SwedenI had a really nice stay at Imaginary Hostel, ended up staying an extra two nights. Really friendly staff and overall a nice friendly vibe. The room was super quiet, even though we had windows open during the night there was no outside noice. I would definately stay here again if I return to Tallinn.

MaltaFor my cleaning standards it was not clean enough. The kitchen was messy and disorganized. The furniture is worm. And everything looked old. I would also add curtains on the capsules beds to give even more privacy.
Very friendly and flexible staff. If room is ready they let you check in early. Beds like capsules that gives you sense of privacy. The crowd in hostel was nice and mature. The location is perfect, right in the city center. Big shared space to hang out.

TurkeyThe room I was staying in was very cramped. There was no closet. From the room I was staying in, the toilet was far away, the bathroom was much farther away. Maybe I'm exaggerating, but it resembled a prison camp.

SlovakiaYou have to make your bed, no lockers, no curtains for privacy or sun (especially durring summer when it is bright the whole night), Zero, but literally Zero sound isolation, old destroyed doors in to the room, you heard every step, when somevody was walking on the hallway. On the carpet in the roome there was a ton of hair and other dirt. And as a whole, the building would need a renovation...
Nothing special, I have been to much better Hostels. The bathrooms were clean.

Very good location in the old town, near to everything. Staff are very kind and helpful. Plenty of bath and toilet cabins. Perfect for a night or two, may be even longer. The property fits perfect for my needs to walk around the old town and to see the main attractions.

AustraliaOnly a small locker for valuables, nowhere to put your luggage, if you’re tall you can’t stand up straight beside the toilet to pee, very noisy, there’s a bar below the dorm room that plays loud music day & night, no aircon so hot overnight if windows closed due to loud music,
Big kitchen, living room & computer room, very sociable, helpful staff.

TurkeySo much noise inside and outside of room. Unfortunately people don't know how to share a room with others. Even after midnight, they can speak loudly on phone and speaks each other.
The location was brilliant. It is really center of old town. Personal was quiet good. By the way I couldn't see any BedBugs... I'm a little worried because of the comments I read before coming.

ArgentinaThat my staying couldnt be longer. But i cant Blame it on them.
I dont care about location nor breakfast. I care about human quality, for the premises whether 5 star hotel or hostel are beloved and taken care of, for the people in there to act like they actually like what they are doing and living. This place has it all. And the location is great.

BrazilPoor facilities - there is no bathroom in one of the floors. Hostel is quite big for the number of toilets/ showers. The shower they consider the best in the first floor clogs. The bunk beds are in quite a wooden box, not confortable to make it and there is just one usb entrance for charge your stuffs. Old pillows and sheets.
Great location and friendly staff.
