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 StatesNothing.
A very modern hostel - I was only there for a brief time before having to leave for the airport but it was clean, pretty quiet and worked perfectly for what I needed.

The receptionist was very attentive and helpful. Great experience! also, I liked the washrooms and how the facility divided boys and girls.

IrelandHad to go to a different floor to use the toilet as there were only two stalls in the nearest bathroom. Couldn't immediately find the hostel as I didn't see signage other than a "61" on the door to the reception. Checking in took about 15 minutes as there was a long queue despite using the option to check-in online.
Comfortable bed, had a power outlet with a USB port, adequate storage space (though one has to buy a padlock as they aren't included). For the price the experience exceeded my expectations.

United KingdomMy check out was very early in the morning and the front desk was unmanned at that time. I noticed couple of customer passports and a pile of invoices left next to the printer. It would be useful for the front desk staff to take care that these docs are not left out in public view and make sure they are kept safe from any prying eyes / hands! Its very likely this may have been a one-off instance.
Brilliant hostel stay. The staff were all ready to help and very friendly. Did not expect it to be so clean, tidy with thoughtfully painted walls, doors and signage. The bathrooms were always kept clean. Liked the bunk bed with cabin like features. It had a curtain for privacy. Reading light and plug points were available beside the head end within each bunk cabin. Quiet environment. Communal area had snooker table, table tennis, lounging sofas, tables, chairs and a staffed cafe.

United KingdomThe only downside was the showers were closed due to a hot water problem but there were some more further down the corridor.
Feels safe for single female travellers and the room was very quiet despite the hostel being full.

United StatesWould have been nice to have hooks to hang up clothing. They could put it by the benches, similar to the way the bedrooms have rows of hooks. 30 minute bus ride was the biggest downside, but the price made it worthwhile.
Wi-Fi was easy and speedy. It's pretty labrythine, but they had good signage to help you find rooms/showers/kitchen/etc. Beds were comfy and each is in a little pod, which helps mitigate Covid concerns. Showers had nice warm water with enough time per button press. The activity room has pretty stained glass in what seems to once have been a chapel.

Malaysiathere is a pub right across the building which can get a bit rowdy and noisy at night. the building does not have any elevators too, I had to drag all my stuff 3 floors up, the whole place is like a maze too with so many turnings and doors. the toilet uses an automatic timer tap, so we need to keep pressing it, and there’s no place to put your toiletries.
the bed was comfortable, rooms were pretty clean too. a lot of room available , one of the cheaper & more value for money option in Dublin. the toilet is pretty big, no need to queue and wait
