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...).

FinlandThat said, the hostel lacked a social atmosphere, which made it a bit isolating as a solo traveler. There weren’t really any common activities or events to help guests connect. Also, one thing that made me feel uneasy was the lack of locks on the dorm room doors—while lockers were available, not having a secure door made me feel a little uncomfortable. Overall, it’s a decent place to stay if you’re after peace and privacy, but not ideal if you’re hoping to meet people or experience a community vibe.
The beds at Bedway Athens Hostel were super comfy, and I appreciated having my own personal space during my stay. The staff was friendly and welcoming, always ready to help with any questions or directions. If you're looking for a quiet place to rest while exploring Athens, this hostel does a good job of providing a calm and relaxed environment.

ArgentinaNeo Kosmos is 2-3 km from Syntagma Square, the city's central square. It's not close to the main attractions, but the metro and tram stops are just a few meters from the hostel. It wasn't a problem but It's far to go by walk.
Very good organization. They contacted me the day before my arrival, giving me instructions for check-in. I was able to check in after midnight without any problems! The ferry arrived at that time. The receptionists were very kind. They have a WhatsApp group to connect with the guests you're sharing your stay with. The kitchen is fully equipped and is a great meeting place with other travelers. It has an internal patio. The overall cleanliness is very good. The rooms are quite spacious, with privacy for each bunk and plenty of storage space. The shower is spotless.

New ZealandI had the best sleep I've ever had in a hostel here. Comfortable, warm, private, and very clean and friendly. The bunks did not creak at all. Despite being on the upper bed, I had a spacious shelf for all my little bits and bobs, so I did not need to constantly go up and down between my bed and locker. A block from the nearest #2 underground station makes it well connected to the rest of the city.

New ZealandThe door didn’t lock which felt very unsafe, especially having booked the female only dorm but anyone could have walked in. Not a very social hostel, it was pretty quiet, but that didn’t matter to me.
Very comfortable hostel, the beds were good, common areas were small but good too. Bathrooms were nice.

The place deserves six stars. 💫💫💫 As a reminder, there is a cute and beautiful kitchen. I love everything about it. The receptionist is wonderful and nice in dealing and speaking. All my respect.

United StatesThere are no locks on the dorm doors! I heard several people talk about being robbed at night, and several people missed food they thought they had. The receptionists looked at the recorded camera footage and found that a Romanian guy who had stayed there one night previously would come in the early hours to eat food out of the fridge, sleep in a chair on the patio, and enter rooms to steal things. So, the codes don't seem to be changed often enough. But the big issue is that there are no locks on the dorm doors. The hostel closed for 11 days over Christmas, and they painted and did some other repairs, but they did not add door locks!
The 2 receptionists are very nice and helpful. Unlike many hostels, there is someone at reception from 9 am to 9 pm most days. The bathrooms aren't beautiful, but they're functional. The kitchen is adequate. The common area is really a kind of waiting room area, but there's a pation outside with tables and chairs.
