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 StatesAll is perfect. I have learned that shelves are being added for more comfort to the showers.
I loved this hostel. It is a super clean, organized hostel, well-designed & trendy great for solo travelers. This is a perfect place to meet people, it is not a party hostel so this was perfect for older adult people who are looking for a clean, fun, exciting experience in Athens. The location is amazing next to all you need, in a trendy young area with lots of bars and restaurants. It is 7 min by walking distance from the tourist area. Recommend this hostel for a more authentic experience. THE STAFF WAS SO HELPFUL!!

GreeceNice hostel with excellent staff ( 24h recepción ). Spacious aircondicioned rooms. Good wifi connection. Lockers under the beds. Bathroom was cleaned every day. Very safe in general, rooms and central entrance open with passeord. Nice minimal decoration, neoclassical building. Bohemian neighbourhood with lots of cafés and restaurants. Metro station ( Panepistimio) in 5min walking distance.

BelgiumAlthough it's not very far, I would prefer to stay a little bit more in the center next time, since I like to be able to have quick stops at the hostel during the day. For example to pick something up I forgot to take. Another thing that made my stay a bit less comfortable were some other guests in my room who decided it was ok to put on the (very bright) main light at midnight. Not the hostels fault of course, but maybe they could hang up some signs to remember people not to do that and to keep noise to a minimum (of course it's sad that people don't automatically do this...). Last minor suggestion for improvement: bigger bins in the bathroom because you can't throw paper in the toilet so the bins rapidly get full.
Super friendly staff. Extremely clean! Super comfortable beds with everything you need (light, power plug). Nice common areas. Big lockers under the bed. Safe street. Easy acces with codes instead of keys.

United Arab EmiratesMinor nitpicks alert, very minor nitpicks The low ratio of bathrooms/beds The curtains as shower covers without a proper door (personal issue due to cultural differences) the lack of chairs in the room (no chairs, either you go up to your bed or you go to the common areas)
Overall, a great experience.

FranceThe hostel is not really in the city centre and to reach the centre byt walk it takes up to 20 mins, otherwise is 10/15 mins to walk to the metro stop and then take the metro to the centre. The bathrooms don't have windows , besides the windows in the toilets which are inside the bathrooms, so not very hepful to air the bathrooms. On our second night, some other guests were talking and walking very loud outside our dorm. Moreover, we had an early awakening and there were 2 night shift receptionists, who also spoke aloud . So, the dorm wasn't very well isolated.
The staff is very nice, Angelina was the reception who welcomed us in very warm way . She suggested us place to eat ( her favourites ones!) and also how to move around the city. The hostel is new and everthing was working very well. The room and the bathrooms were very clean

The bed is comfortable and this hostel is spotless. Good storage in the room and security system as well. It's in a cool area where locals go, not in the main tourist area but all the touristy sites are within walking distance.

United StatesThe bathrooms stay so hot. If you are looking to get ready in the mirror at all, you will sweat the whole time. There is very little airflow, so when people take showers it gets extremely stuffy.
My room was nice and clean and the staff are very friendly. The backyard is really nice as well.

FranceBecause the area is lively, there can be a lot of noise at night (earplugs strongly recommended for going to sleep early).
This place is very nice, everything is super clean (even the bathroom) and the beds are comfortable. It’s pretty close to the center by foot, close to public transportation and the area is lively.

SingaporeIt was quite noisy at night, and the location of the hostel is far off from the main area. Its also not easy to walk there as there is some slope.
I liked the external facade of the room and that there is a garden at the ground floor. Rooms are locked with pin code, which is extremely convenient as we do not have to bring a keycard around.

United StatesThe blankets, while nice and fluffy, are not very breathable. I found myself waking up in a sweat often because of how the blankets trap in heat and moisture. Also, I recommend adding curtains to each bed for some additional privacy, if possible!
We thought the staff was very kind and supportive. We liked the location of the hostel and appreciated how clean everything was. I would recommend When In Athens hostel for short-term stays in Athens. It's also within walking distance from Mount Lycabettus.
