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...).

United KingdomWiFi is weak, hopefully they can improve :)
Does everything it says on the tin for the price point it is at. Hostel, kitchen with essentials, WC and separate shower, some novelty, small rooms and not overcrowded. Very small balcony for socialising, if you are here with some friends would be okay though - but pictures all tell the tale you get!

IsraelThe wifi is not always stable. If more people would have want to cook, the pots in the kitchen would not be enough. In my stay it wasn't a problem because the hostel wasn't full.
Very nice owners - they welcomed us very nicely on the first night (we end up drinking together). The hostel itself is nice and small , with small but nice kitchen to cook.

GreeceNothing that I didn't like!
I recently had the pleasure of staying at Alcatraz Jail Hostel in Tbilisi, and I must say it was a wonderful experience! One of the first things I noticed upon entering the hostel was the impeccable cleanliness. The common areas, kitchen, and bathrooms were well-maintained and spotless, making me feel comfortable and at home. The staff prioritizes cleanliness and ensures the hostel remains tidy throughout the day. Another highlight of Alcatraz Jail Hostel is its fantastic location, providing an ideal base for exploring the city. Situated in the heart of Tbilisi, it is just a short walk away from major attractions, restaurants, and public transport. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Tbilisi and would certainly stay here again in the future!

GeorgiaNothing to see here.
Every time I come to Tbilisi, Alcatraz hostel is my choice to stay at. It's always clean, the bed linens and towels are fresh. The owner is wonderful. She's obliging about most requests. It just feels like home away from home. Every bed has a night light and plug in right by the bed. The entire place is very well kept up, too. Its location is perfect too, Liberty Square is a 12-minute walk, plus there's a dozen or so restaurants close by as well.

NetherlandsWe did not really have anything major to complain about. I guess the lighting in the room could be improved with a nightlight on the nightstand and they could add another nightstand to the other side of the bed as well. Otherwise perfect for the money.
The couple who runs the place is truly amazing. Very welcoming and infinite hospitality, also always willing to help you with getting by in the city or tips. The location is truly perfect, Old Tbilisi is the place to be. Anything else is located less then 10 minutes away by car (use Bolt for cheap and easy rides). The theme of the hostel is very cool, they really put effort into it.
