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...).

Malaysia1. Checking in process is a bit of hassle, need to login to their website to fill in form etc 2. Recommendation: Let future guest to know to use Iriya Exit when travelling to hostel, take any other exit and you'll be lost and forced to take a detour
1. Location is in front of UENO station - Iriya Exit (3rd Floor) to G Floor, easy to get confused the 1st time 1.5 the Ueno Park/Zoo is on the opposite side albeit need to go through the station from here 2. Reception available almost always, English proficient and friendly 3. Theres a wide lounge/canteen @Ground Floor with lots of toys and boardgames 4. Keycard lock and good shower

NetherlandsThe room was really small, we weren’t able to function properly with two people and two suitcases. We had two big suitcases and we weren’t able to open even one of them in the room (only on the bed) and it was a struggle to get in and out of the room. I don’t understand why there is a bathtub when there’s no space for luggage. We also had a balcony that we weren’t allowed to go on, unfortunately.
Good location and kind staff

Philippinesin comparison to asakusa branch, each bed have a designated locker. In ueno branch there is only a small lock box in the bed but it cant fit anything big like a camera so i had to bring my camera with me the entire time even tho i didnt need it at times.
i used to stay at asakusa branch, and i liked that it is basically the same system ! Ueno branch is a little better because the train station is accessible to many lines!

SingaporeI booked the double bed room, and it was super terrible considering the fact that it was very close to the train tracks. I couldn't sleep at all with the loud noises till 1am and the noise starts again at 430am when the train service resumed. Super bad experience and disappointing considering that I paid more for more comfort and peace. The dormitory is much better as the doors and windows were soundproof, unlike the double room I had. I do not recommend this room if you are a light sleeper like me.
I like that the hostel is central and clean.

Malaysiaquite disappointed for the facilities (without shower towels). As for reference I have been travel around Japan and mostly stay in hostel because I like the atmosphere and importantly the facilities of all the hostel that I stay facilities are provided well. And this is the first time that I met without providing towel and need to rent for the towel for 200yen ! So speechless!
