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...).

PortugalIt would be great if it has a hairdryer, but everything else was perfect.
The hostel was amazing, the people were kind and sociable, the location allowed me to make all my visits on foot. The cleaning was impeccable, the beds were very good and provided excellent privacy. The separate bathrooms and those in the room were very useful. My roommates were amazing and I got to meet wonderful people.

Australiamattress in my bunk was literally so bad, it was like a sack of springs. luckily it was also BOILING hot upstairs in the dorms so i could use my duvet as my bottom sheet to make the bed comfy. it was literally so so hot in our room i was SWEATING anytime i was the halls or my room - even with the windows open. bag storage was also a bit awkward when you have a top bunk but can make it work
good spot in the centre of the city. bar/cafe area was cool but i never saw anyone else in there. cafe served great coffee! the whole place was super clean and tidy, often saw cleaners wandering around and bathrooms were monitored regularly. curtains!! i love curtains!!

AustriaI stayed in a shared room which at one point there was a couple there that decided to have sex in the middle of the night whilst other 10 people were trying to sleep in the room. The experience was horrible and creepy, I would never stay in another shared room as this was completely disrespectful and characterizes as sexual harassment. I felt very uncomfortable and bothered.
Rooms and bathroom were generally clean. Lounge area to relax.

United StatesThe bed was insanely uncomfortable; it felt like I was sleeping on a box spring. I had to make my own bed.. many hostels do this and I hate it every time, especially making a bed in a bunk. Also, had to pay for a towel. Always nice when that’s included but rare these days, sadly. I chose a mixed dorm but other than the first night I was the only female for the remainder of the time; would have been nice if it was more “mixed.” The bathroom in the room itself wasn’t cleaned once arriving so it got pretty gross. The public bathroom down the hall was out of toilet paper for two days in both stalls. They don’t seem to tell people about manners.. though they of course can’t control what people do I had super loud roomies the entire time and partiers next door.
The location is near the city center, the rooms are generally nice and mostly clean. I stayed in a 6 bedroom mixed room. The bunk has a curtain, net for belongings, shelf, hooks, plugs, and a light which are all great.

United KingdomWe would definitely stay again! Rooms & toilets were spotless! Beds were comfortable, we had our own private room with 5 of us staying. Staff were all lovely and welcoming, while we were waiting for our taxi we played cards of humanity 😀 they have a good selection of games to play. Temple bar is a short walk and other bars close by. Definitely recommend bad ass pub for live music, and the church for food.
