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...).

AustriaNot clean. Horrible showers switching temperatures between 10 and 50 °C. Often no warm water at all, or just completely hot or cold water. The towels were good, though. Just sad we had to pay for them :/

SpainBed was not as advertised, basically a wooden box and the locker inside wasn't working, they offered to repair it but this was never done, the nearest bathroom wasn't working, you had to use the ones on the other side of the floor
Location is great and the common areas are good too

United Kingdoma member of staff entered our room with someone at 1am and switched on the light and rummaged around looking for something then left the room and left the lights on. The rest of the hostel seemed to be awake all night banging doors,on mobiles,walking up and down the corridor, chatting outside .I got perhaps one hours sleep,not happy at all. This hostel or run by young people for young people ,so if yer happy to stay awake all night this is definitely the hostel for you,never again,sorry.
location,the bed was very comfortable

Czech RepublicThe kitchen wasn’t always really clean. There was a café downstairs but was never open (even during the opening hours it was closed). It happened to me once that my food disappeared from the fridge (even though I put a sign on it). Also two days in a row there weren’t any papel towels and stickers for the food in the kitchen. Another thing I didn’t like is that at each bed there was only a USB socket but not a real plug, so I couldn’t charge my phone there since I have usb-c.
Great location, really close to the center. The room was spacious and the bed comfy. I really liked the curtains which added a lot of privacy. There was a bathroom in my room but also extra bathroom with showers on every floor, which was really helpful.:) Generally it’s a good value for money and I didn’t experience any major problems there.

United KingdomThe room was really hot, the curtains on bunk bed provide privacy but it’s getting really stuffy inside…
Location is not far from centre, it’s quiet. Dormitory was large, bed has lockable small storage, curtains for privacy.

CanadaI was in a shared room on the top floor in the top bunk. The configuration of the bunks in this room meant that the top bunk was essentially a wooden box with a curtain at the foot of the bed. The heating in the room seemed to be on during one of the nights as well. Dublin was not hot during my stay but the combination of these factors lead to it being a terribly uncomfortable night and way too hot to have a restful sleep.
location was decent, staff were friendly and had a decent sized common area.

Irelandrooms are not well insulated for noise. Having my room placed next to the toilet facilities, meant that every single time someone went it and out the doors slamming kept me up all night.
