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 StatesThe room was small, but I knew that going in. The bathroom had good hot water and the beds were comfy. Walls weren’t very thick so sound traveled through the rooms, but that was also expected. It was a private room in a hostel that more than served its purpose. I would definitely recommend staying here, whether it’s one night or a week. Location is great. 15 minutes or less walk to many popular spots and also close to many bus stops.

UkraineA few things could be fixed or improved: - There is no way to cook or even heat your food. There are no microwaves. - Extremely noisy door closing mechanism. The hostel is big, it's full of people, so the doors are constantly being closed and opened... The rattle is incessant and unbearable. - There were also many loud, shouting neighbors with no sense of respect for other people sharing the common space (but this is not a remark of the hostel, just my bad luck :). - Extra payment for the smallest things - towels, adapters, locks, large storage rooms, the laundry (as you can't even wash and dry your things), etc. - A significant surcharge for accommodation in a female room. The price difference is too big to be defined based on gender.
This hostel is a good option for a short stay. Good value for money. It has a great location in the center, close to all major attractions. Good and stable internet connection. The room was cleaned every day. The staff tries to keep the hostel clean. The room is small, but the bunk is comfortable.

United KingdomIt was such a great stay! The room and bathroom/shower were very clean. The location is excellent - it's in the city centre and grocery stores, shops, pubs are 5-10 min walk away. The common areas are big, with a lot of tables and comfy areas, so people were able to chill and work remotely. Staff were friendly. As a solo female traveler I felt safe and actually made friends with my roommates. Definitely recommend staying here!

IrelandThe access to my bedroom floor was somewhat limited due to restrictions on using only one staircase, which can be inconvenient. While the elevator can be busy, I prefer taking the stairs. I had attempted to use the back staircase to avoid the crowds, but found myself locked out upon reaching my floor as the key card only grants access to certain doors. This had led to me feeling disoriented and lost while trying to navigate back to common areas, lockers, or the laundry facility. I believe this hostel would greatly benefit from a designated guest space for food preparation, even if it just includes a microwave. This simple addition would greatly enhance the overall experience for guests.
The work environment is positive and conducive to productivity. The team members are highly skilled and attentive, always providing friendly and helpful service. However, there have been concerns raised regarding management practices, particularly among middle managers overseeing daily operations. There appear to be inconsistencies in rule enforcement and a tendency to exert control over both guests and staff, potentially affecting the overall experience. It is possible that the frontline staff may be facing challenges due to limited managerial support.

ThailandThere was no privacy curtain at the end of the bed so people could always see in. Also the plug and lamp didn't work in the bed. The beds and rooms are a bit small compared to other hostels so not so great for adults.
The communal areas are great and the location is great. The lockers in the basement were handy especially as you didn't need your own lock for them
