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 KingdomVery few downsides, once major one for me was the showers. They were all co-ed which would have been fine if they were in locking cubicles. However, they weren’t. The showers were in rows of three facing into the bathrooms and main corridors which only a curtain blocking everyone’s view. You could not put a towel inside with you which made me as a young solo female traveler feel quite unsafe while showering. Another thing was that despite what the name suggests this is not a youth hostel. I ended up sharing the room with quite a few older men which again made me a little uncomfortable. Not the hostels fault but something to note.
I loved the privacy curtains across the beds, they allowed you to have some me time in an otherwise crowded room. The hostel itself was also so clean, I saw cleaners every morning making sure everything was working. The common areas, both the upstairs and the kitchen were also lovely and very nice to spend some time in when you didn’t feel like being in bed.

The hostel was very well organised and impressively clean. Although due to my flight I arrived late, everything was prepared for me and it was very easy to find my way around and use the facilities. Particularly the bathrooms/toilets were spotless and the room had plenty of space to move around, while not disturbing other occupants. Big bonus the lockers in the room.

GermanyIt has all you can ask for in a hostel and more. The amazingly beautiful roof gives you the feeling of a garden right over the roofs of the town. The let me stay there for the night as my flight landed at 2 a.m. and I did not book a room for this short night. Showers are clean, everything is very modern and beautiful. Was a nice stay!

CanadaPerfect location for getting around the old town in Heraklion, clean modern room with a nice bathroom. Very tidy, well-appointed kitchen with drinkable tap water from one of the taps (they advise not to drink Heraklion's tap water). Really nice value for money, was very quiet because of the time of year.

United StatesNothing! My favorite hostel I have stayed in so far
Front desk staff, especially Pavlos, was so kind and extremely helpful with tips and information about the island, transportation and food recommendations. The facilities were kept very clean during my stay. Rooms were secure. Locker was big enough for both of my bags. Curtain on bed gave nice privacy. The rooftop was nice for socializing. Good location fairly close to busses and very close to shops, grocery and many restaurants.

CanadaIt would be nice to have a chair on the balcony but I know that it's actually a narrow corridor but no one walks on it. A chair and table inside the room would be nice too..
The receptionists are very friendly and helpful. You could order fresh goat milk from the male receptionist. The facilities are very clean. The sheets are fresh. Having a balcony to let in light and air is a bonus.
