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...).

ChinaThis is my first time staying in a hostel, because I can't afford the expensive accommodation in Athens when traveling alone. But it’s so good! Like a luxury high school dormitory. And live with other is safe for solo trip girl. Nice experience. Transportation is sooo convenient and very close to restaurants/ supermarket/ coffee shop.

GermanyThe thing that I did not like was not related to the hoste itself l, but rather to some of the annoying guests. For example, one of the people played music at one o’clock in the morning. I also did not like some people cooking in the hostel. I mean, visiting Athens is a good opportunity to try Greek food in restaurants and not cook and disturb the guests with the smell. I thought that the hostel experience would be a good opportunity to get to know others and have fun with them in Athens, but I was wrong, so do not expect to spend a good time with others if you come alone like me.
The reception staff are very nice and helpful. The location is very excellent in Neos Cosmos, a safe area and one minute away from the metro station. The bathrooms were clean and everything was like the pictures

AustriaThe air condition was loud and opening the window wasn't an alternative as there's a noisy street nearby.
Super nice and helpful staff. We had a lot of questions and requests and they helped us with everything and were very friendly all the time. The hostel was clean and they provided lockers with locks, so you could safely store your stuff. And there's an amazing pastry shop nearby :P

United StatesThe Mattress was not very good, could feel the springs. The weather was so pleasant that it was nice to keep the windows in the rooms open for ventilation. But the doors were not consistently propped open or latched closed, so the breeze would slam the doors shut often during the night and wake everyone. I recommend that the guests are informed of the need to either latch them shut or prop them open so they won't slam shut from the pleasant breezes. It would be nice if they would provide door stops to prop them open.
The location is super convenient to the Metro, and the Metro is great in Athens. The Hostel is very clean, and the staff are pleasant and helpful, and the lockers are considerably larger than most, practically two carry-on size luggage fit in the locker. My carry-on and my under-seat sized backpack easily fit in locker together with plenty of room to spare. There is a small grocery store and 2 bakeries one minute walk from the hostel, and the neighborhood feels safe. I will likely stay there again.

United KingdomThe garden area is a bit drab - especially when it had so much potential!
This is a great hostel, they have thought of everything. 1 minute from the metro, they let you check in early when the beds are ready, nice kitchen, good WiFi, big lockers. I really cant fault any of it.

Belgium-Only 2 bathrooms on 1st & 2nd floor. I was on the 4th and going to the toilet was a trip. -No soap in the shower. A small dispenser would be good. There would be no need to the most expensive shower gel. -the elevator was always locked during my stay. So reaching the 4th floor with luggage required some effort. -the blanket on my bed had a very very very bad smell like sweat from the gym etc. It was impossible to use it to cover your self if you smell sense is a bit sensitive. No option to change it as the reception was closed when I checked in. (I really hope they gonna wash this blanket!!) -no key for the room. Just for the locker. I have visited many hostels and a simple key for the room always exists.
-Easy check in. -Friendly and helpful staff. -New building and relatively clean. -Curtains on the bunks that help with privacy. -good neighborhood.

AustraliaThe hostel itself was good, I don’t have any complaints about the service provided.
The facilities were very clean and staff were very kind. The beds were also decent quality with the hostel not being too far away from places like the acropolis. It was also very close to the train station, which made getting around the city very easy.

AustraliaOnly downside was the social aspect, but of course that’s depending on the other people who are staying there. I did stay there during off season so it wasn’t too busy. Found it hard to make friends as I was solo travelling, but that’s not the hostels problem 😅
The hostel itself was really nice! Comfy beds with curtains! Big lockers and they provide locks. Seperate bathroom area with plenty of toilets and showers. Kitchen area has everything you need and the outside area was nice enough. Location was good as it was around the corner from a metro station, made it easy to get around athens! 👍🏼

SingaporeThe water temperature of the shower is extremely erratic. It goes from boiling hot (steam actually comes out of the shower head) to ice cold in 1 second and these temperature changes keep happening during the entire shower time randomly & frequently.
Travellers get added into a hostel group chat and I ended up going out with a group of girls at the hostel for Athen's midnight mass! The location of the hostel was also super convenient, just 1 min walk from the Neos Kosmos metro station.

SpainO que menos me gustou foi a falta dun bo espazo común. Teñen unha sofá ao entrar, pero é un lugar de tránsito que non permite sentarse a relaxar..a cociña é pequena e logo só hai unha terraza con catro mesas pequenas. Nótase a falta dun sitio onde sentarse para pasar o tempo que estás no hostel. A limpeza non é a mellor que vin. Os baños requerirían máis dunha limpeza ao día
Hostel a bo prezo en Atenas, nunha zona non totalmente céntrica pero que no meu caso valoro como algo positivo. A parada de metro está a escasos.pasos e en dúas estacións estás no centro. As camas son cómodas, con cortinas separadoras e luz e enchufe en cada unha. O armario que teñen para cada persoa é moi grande e cómodo: cunha balda que permite colocar cousas mais pequenas de xeito separado. A cociña está ben equipada, ainda que se fai un chisco pequena para tanta xente.

Czech RepublicIt's not that I didn't like it, but some people may mind the shared bathrooms with the opposite sex.
It was really clean and comfortable, location was really good as it is a minute walk away from the metro, so getting to the centre was pretty fast. I also liked the way you are taken care of - you can text a property worker any time to help you, before check-in and after check-out you can leave your bags at the property and use the common spaces, which is really good if you have an early and late flight.
