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...).

AustraliaThe bar / cafe downstairs was always buzzing and a good place to hang out and have a coffee to start the day. I had lost my bag & passport and the guys were super helpful in contacting various establishments where I could possibly have left it. They were awesome and really cared about helping me and yes I did get my bag back in the end!

SwitzerlandThe only bad aspect about the room was that the window let a lot of air and humidity in. It was a bit cold during the night and there was humidity on the floor.
The hostel is located just a few minutes by walk from Kuramae station, in Asakusa. The location is really practical, the room was comfortable and the cafe/lounge served amazing breakfasts. The staff was really nice and always helpful.

United StatesThe common space upstairs was relatively small, and given that the cafe/bar on the ground floor is a public business, I didn't feel as comfy just hanging out there for a long time (e.g., I needed to buy something); not as social as I was hoping. The aesthetic of the rooms is a bit austere and the beds not super comfy (but felt like the norm for Japan).
Convenient, affordable hostel in a quiet/trendy/local area of Tokyo that is well connected to other, busier areas of the city by subway. Everything was clean and well organized. Staff was friendly.

AustraliaEverything was great, the only comment would be to have more hanging space in the room, some hooks along the wall as just the 2 little hooks are not sufficient for 2 people staying longer than one night.
Great location, very close to the station which also happens to be the line you need to take 1 train to Haneda so very convenient! We loved staying here, the staff are very friendly and helpful, the coffee is great! We both had restful sleep both nights we stayed and found the shared facilities to be clean and tidy. We will be coming to stay again and would recommend Nui. Hostel to anyone looking for a chic hostel stay with a relaxing vibe!

PhilippinesThe bunk bed in the dorm room. Not ideal for short people if you are on the top bed. It is so hard to go up because the "ladder"is at 90 degrees and there are no railings to hold on. Good thing I transferred to a private room after two days.
The lounge area that serves as bar and cafe. The vibe there is superb.

AustraliaNothing to fault. Very happy with my stay and the facilities.
The accommodation is conveniently located near a handful of subway lines and in close proximity to a major station. It was easy to get to and from said locations and travel into touristy areas. The vibe of the property is very cool! My stay was in a double room which was perfect sized for a solo traveller, as its sole purpose was for sleeping/down time. The communal bathroom was always immaculate and easy to access when needed.

United StatesThe room was warm, and I could not change the temperature in the room. Also definitely take ear plugs if you're a light sleeper and staying in the private room with the window view. I could hear everything from the street and since the 1st floor is also a bar, I had trouble sleeping when people would hang outside for smokes or goodbyes.
Loved the location and the lobby vibes of this hostel. The staff was great too, especially when helping me store my luggage at check in/out.

United StatesWifi was a bit iffy in the rooms. Bar was great but pricey and not many hostel people there. Few tiny things but I'd recommend it.
Good solid "Hip" Hostel/ Hotel. Good location for getting around. No great food super close minus the restaurant in the hotel thats superb. Good affordable place with a nitch for all travelers. Felt welcome to stay there hours after checkout because of a late flight.

ItalyIt would be nice if the check in was available after midnight too, even as self check-in.
The room and shares facilities were really clean, and the kitchen on the 6th floor had lots of things, making it easy to cook without worrying about small stuff. Furthermore, the vibe of the cafè/bar lounge was super nice. I ate breakfast and had a coffee in the morning, which was an amazing way to start the day. I didn't have a chance to try the cocktails, but I will definitely come back to try them out.

Private room was spacious and perfect to use as a base while exploring Tokyo. Bed was comfortable, plenty of lights and power sockets for my gadgets. Bathrooms clean and showers hot during winter. Even has laundry facilities! Staff were friendly and helpful, never felt like I was bothering them. Cafe and bar is very social mornings and evenings, but always found a corner to sit quietly.

Beautiful and very social hostel with 2 Common areas. The rooms are big enough to store your luggage with lockers, nice bath facilities and the best thing about the hostels are the Common areas. It's so nice there. The food is a bit pricey but worth it - it's soooo delicious. I would definitely go back there again.
