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...).

Costa RicaThe bunk beds are a little boxed (not a lot of air flowing). The light of my bed didn't work. 3-tier bunk beds is a little wild. Didn't enjoy climbing so high to get in and out of my bunk bed. Didn't like that there were a lot of men just hanging in the lobby. I felt observed.
Good location. Good rooms.

United KingdomThe noise of the other girls while sharing the room. Some were in past midnight making an absolute racket, others were up at 6am taking showers. Also trouble finding which bed was mine when the lights are off.
The bed was comfy and good to have curtains for privacy, a charging port and a lamp for reading

TaiwanThe socket charged very slowly. The bathrooms were really dirty and smelly. There were nothing in the room, except those beds. And it could get quite stuffy. The room was generally quiet but at one night someone was screaming outside.
It's cheap, near the city centre. They have curtains to block away the disturbance from other roommates, which was really nice.

United KingdomPretty bellow average hostel really. The toilets are on the top floor which meant I had to climb 2 flights of stairs every time I needed the bathroom, and they weren't exactly nice when you do reach them.
The basements the place to go in the evening. The Brazilian workers really made my stay, if It wasn't for them it would've been awful.

ItalyThere was definitely old cum on the curtain of my top bunk bed... and google maps does not bring you to the correct door so make sure you look for the light!
The Hostel was located in a small residential area very close to Temple bar, making it accessible to night life, and for my first time staying in a mixed dorm as a women I had a positive experience.

GermanyMixed Feelings at Dublin Hostel - A Tale of Two Experiences My recent stay at a certain Dublin hostel left me with mixed feelings. The hostel itself sat comfortably in the realm of the intermediate; not too shabby, yet not exceptionally remarkable either. It was clean enough, located conveniently, and offered the basic amenities one expects at such a place. However, what truly sets apart any accommodation, for better or worse, is the staff, and this is where my experience veers into a tale of disappointment with a glimmer of redemption. The majority of the staff members, with the notable exception of a kind gentleman with glasses, seemed to lack the warmth, hospitality, and helpfulness one would hope for in such an establishment. Their approach was often indifferent, bordering on unwelcoming, making simple interactions or requests feel like inconveniences rather than part of their job description.

IrelandMy was on the third floor and it was too difficult to use that stairs carrying my heavy luggage. Also the water of the shower was too hot. It would be great if it was possible to adjust the temperature of the water.

IrelandI was surprised to find out that I had to constantly press a button to keep the shower going, I didn´t even know that existed. I understand that for a budget hostel the economy is important but the water wasn´t warm enough probably because it is not on for long before having to press the button again.
The staff was great and I felt at home instantly. I have never stayed in a shared room before and I was please to see there were curtains in front of the beds giving a sense of privacy and also space to place lugagge behind the curtains. There was a whole resembling a window on the right which is nice but I wish they could place a curtain there too since the lights in the room were never turned off.

South AfricaThe lockers do not work. You cannot stay in a dormitory because your things are not safe. The bunk beds were not cleaned underneath. After spending almost 2 hours waiting for a solution the lovely girl at reception helped us by moving us to a private room.
The girl at reception was very friendly and she moved us to a private room due to the problems. If it weren't for her I would be rating this place a 0

IrelandThe bed is not dressed, they kept the bed sheet on the bed for the guest to dress it by themselves, I will suggest it's not a good option, I hit my head several times trying to make the bed by myself, again the power bank provided its OK & doesn't have enough capacity to fully charge a phone ,their is no power on the bed which one of the receptionist told me it was disconnected for Health and safety reasons, I understand but switching on general light when others are sleeping isn't a good idea
