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...).

NetherlandsThe staff and volunteers are friendly but it,s one big group in a hostel, some of them are not talking with anyone else... Because of this the atmosphere is not the best.
Good location, good kitchen. Good place to sleep for 1 or 2 nights.

NetherlandsIt is quite a fun hostel. So people walk in the room at 5 o'clock. Kitchen is really dirty before 8 in the morning.
Hostel is really nice locate. Good kitchen area. Nice place to meet people and to go out. Nice for one night. The beds are quite far from the living area so you don't hear noises that is good.

CanadaThis is what I would call a “grimy” hostel—you must be prepared for a bit of grit. To me, this is part of the hostel experience, in fact maybe actually improves it. But just so you know.
A nice hostel stay, social common space, right in the heart of Palermo, close to the train station. Staff were friendly. Kitchen well equipped. I’d stay again.

EcuadorRooms do not seem to be cleaned. I observed what I think was a volunteer take out dirty sheets. Nothing else seemed to be done to clean the room. The floor is dusty and pieces of trash were on the floor. The kitchen was also quite messy. To be fair bathrooms were fairly clean and so were the showers. It also very noisy at night not only from outside noise but also from other guests who started yelling late into the night.
The location is good. A few minutes walk to the train station. It's easy to get to and from the airport. It's also very close to main attractions and shops.

GermanyDuring the time of my stay the hot water wasn't working and the wifi also stopped working on the second day. There are quite many beds in the dormitories so it can be loud sometimes, but that depends on the people staying there.
The people who are working in the hostel are amazing and very kind. It's really easy to meet new people there and the common area and the kitchen were really nice. The hostel is close to the central station and right in the city center, so you can reach all the important spots very easily.

PortugalBed was really not confertable and i had alot of trouble to sleep, matress was old and the pillow was almost not existent otherwise i would have give it a 8 WiFi was not the best specially in the Room Extra charges are a bit out of Hand, towel its fine but 5 euros to leave your bag in the back of the house withouth any security its a bit insane for me , when asked they Said : in comparision to the luggage storage in the station. All in all the valeu for money its okay and its worth it for a short Stay but the place it self its a bit Run down ( there was literal a whole in the wall Next to my bed ) and extra fees dont make Sense for the services provided.
The location is exactlty what i needed : close to the station and central, making it easy to move around. Staff was super Nice and kind and overall vibe of the space is nice

Convenient location for the train and bus station. Friendly helpful staff. Shower block clean with plenty of hot water. 50m from Lidl which was great for supplies.

United KingdomThe bathrooms and showers were pretty well terrible tbh. The showers were like pool showers with you not evening being able to grab and move the showerhead it was just fixed. The toilets were cubicals all next to each other in one room with crappy doors to close them.
Good kitchen area, friendly staff, Code to the access door no need to worry about keys. Lockers were there but bring your own lock. People were friendly and you got to meet a lot of them considering it was a 16 person dormitory! But some may not like that.

BelgiumNo lots of water in douche because problem with electricity, no power when everyone uses it. Bathroom for men and women not separated. Bed not made when you arrive, you have to do it yourself, even in midnight and wake up everyone. Cleaning alright but bin full, no boiler or coffee machine, no teatowel. WiFi not alright. Guy at reception not sympatic, rest of the staff really friendly. No curfew so many people not paying attention during all night long and difficult to rest well.
All other hostels were more expensive or full. It is close to the station. Soap and dryer in bathroom. Glok close to bed.

United Kingdompower went off for like 3 hours. water pressure was not enough for a good shower. women's bedroom has too many beds (12). there’s no age specification so guests may vary from 18yo to 45 yo which makes socialising somehow difficult. Lockers aren’t big enough for a cabin bag.
location was convenient. common areas were nice. showers have a changing space included which is comfortable.
