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...).

GermanySadly there was only one place to refill bottles. I was told the tap water ist trinkable, but it smelled a lot like chlorine, so i preferred to refill my bottles around the kitchen area.
Beds were very comfortable and the curtains offered some privacy. Big plus were the lockers with plenty of space and also the seperate Toilet and Shower.

United KingdomCan't think of anything.
Location, was perfect. It was very central to Dublin city centre, easy to walk to all the bars, clubs, pubs shops etc. I went for the weekend with mates for my birthday. On check in, they said they'd give me an upgrade for my birthday. All the staff were super friendly and gave us tips of transport, places to go etc. The hostel has a small bar next to reception too where there is a cool area to just chill out. The rooms were great, we stayed in a 4 bed dorm. I like the fact that the private bathroom for the room has a separate shower room and sink to the toilet and sink. The beds were super comfy and the bunks all had curtains for extra privacy, also plug sockets, mini light and small shelf next to your bed.

I like the neatness of the facility & specifically want to commend one of the receptionist by name Brian for his fast assistance during check-in,some other places it takes a long time

BrazilTheir team who manage booking don't work on weekends so they did not approve reservation date change until the last day. The staff was not helpful and literally said that I needed to book on the desk again (even after do in booking.com), so there was a risk to charge twice. Very confusing, no manager available to help. I was unsure about having a bed all the time and wasn't comfortable to take a tour or not, leave bags or not. Very disrespectful with my time and no worries with my money
Very clean, most of staffs are nice but not really helpful. Location is perfect, bed is comfy, very silent, good shower

United KingdomThe bathroom in the room didn't look like it had been properly cleaned for a little while, especially around the toilet. Nothing too bad but could have been better.
The decor was light and airy and good communal spaces. Breakfast was good and the room was tidy and functional. The location just north of the river was also great.

Irelandonly two pots and two pans in kitchen for a very large building - but 8 cooking spots?? do not buy food to fry or boil if not willing to wait hours. The bed modules have no power sockets (but they will provide power bank for phones at the front desk)
The kitchen facility was good to have. The community areas were large and comfortable with plenty of power sockets. Good selection of drinks at in house bar. Nightly entertainment if your stuck in, including film night with free popcorn :). on site laundry. Location. The bed design is very good and sturdy with the privacy curtain which blocks the main room light allowing for comfort for everyone on different time schedules to come and go in the light. Felt very secure /safe and under control with staff always in lobby as well as dedicated security on door.

Italypeople checked in very late at night, 1-2 am. Someone was very inconsiderate making as much noise as possible. I was waken up three times late at night. The music in common areas often was too loud.
the common spaces were great, although the kitchen could be larger for the size of the hostel. The staff were very kind and accommodating.
