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...).

NetherlandsThe only thing I didn't get was that the room was full of hooks to hang your stuff, except in the bathroom there's nothing to hang your towel or clothes while showering. Also the rates for breakfast and renting a towel are a bit high.
One of the best hostels I've ever seen. Really friendly and helpful staff. The rooms are clean and all facilities work perfect. The overall vibe is just great. Location is very good as well. Would definitely stay here again!

Good location, breakfast choices good. If tea and coffee making facilities were more readily available say in the room or on each floor for me this would have made it perfect. Reception staff did not have knowledge of where airport buses went from or where travel passes could be obtained Essential information for tourists

IrelandThere was no fridge or kitchen for the residents. The toilets and showers needs more frequent cleaning. I had a neighbour who was coughing and I had to sleep with my face mask just in case its an infection.
The excellent location near restaurants and stores The staff were great and the residents were from all over the world who were interesting in engaging with conversation.

United KingdomCommon areas are a bit too utilitarian lacking any cosiness or charm.
Exceptionally well located just off O’Connell Street. Convenient and serviceable if slightly charmless bar and common areas. Dorm rooms are modern, compact, and well organised with en suite shared toilet and shower. Sleeping bunks are comfy and afford privacy. Staff were helpful. On site left luggage, for a fee! Price for my stay was very reasonable.

NetherlandsThe bed sheets and linen are left on the bed and we need to make the bed ourselves. Understand it may be one of the reasons to keep prices low but it's not a great experience, especially when we arrive tired and late at night. Also, the electricity didn't work and the staff didn't mention it upon arrival.

CanadaRoom was dirty, hairs all over the floor, didn’t seem like they had been clean for a few days but the bedding seemed clean as well as the bathroom and shower, just the floors were dirty. Didn’t like the computer checkin felt impersonal not having someone to check in with. But it was also nice how easy it was to check in and make sure key but no information on the hostel facilities.
Liked the shower and toilet where in the room and they were separated. Liked the curtains on beds for privacy, had sufficient outlets and lightening.
