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...).

It is clean and affordable. Can leave luggage with locks.

SpainThe showers are quite small and there is only 4 shower rooms, which means sometimes you have to queue a little bit. My main issue with this hostel is that it seems to be the type where backpackers/travelers would stay and work for a few days and leave. The girl at reception was permanent staff I think, but the ones in charge of cleaning seemed to be people staying at the hostel. They were incredibly loud whilst cleaning and later as well in the common room, where they spent the rest of the day playing Mario Kart at full volume. Also one of them found it funny to play a VERY high pitched alarm at random times to confuse the Japanese staff and make them look everywhere for the source of the noise. It seems to me it the kind hostel where your experience is gonna depend a lot on who is the temp staff
Location is great. It is 2 stops away from Sapporo Station and only 3 stops away from Odori Park (which is great if you are there for the snow festival). There is a 7-eleven 5 minutes away and a drugstore right in front. Bed is on the harder side but still comfy. It is decently clean.

JapanLighting of the bed could be improved: it was difficult to see things and organise one's belongings.
Great common area where to chill on a couch and chat with other people. Warm and cosy, with a maximum of 20 guests. The rooms have plenty of privacy, with closed wooden boxes to sleep in. Modern showers and toilet facilities. Just in front of the subway station, a supermarket, convenience stores, and restaurants.

I appreciated that the person who checked us in helped us up the stairs with our bags. The room was quiet and comfortable. The lounge is very pleasant and the hostel is in a great location.

The staff were so kind and patient. The atmosphere was easy going and pleasant. I loved their bar and 2nd floor "living room" space. And my room was definitely "big" in terms of Japan.

PhilippinesThe only point for improvement would be the toilets on the 1st and 2nd floor. They don't have a bidet so you would have to go up to the dorm area for a number 2.
The staff are very helpful and friendly! They give the best recommendations for places to go and are the kindest. Shoutout to our friends Nanami-san and Tsuyoshi-san who made Untapped feel like home :> The location is very good because it's near everything you need. (Also note that this hostel is beside a place that serves THE BEST Hokkaido soft serve! Don't miss it) The sleeping area/dorm was very comfy. It's not hotel quality but it is very good value for money especially for students. I like how there was a lamp and outlet for each bed. The lobby is very homey. There is a breakfast & pub that serves delicious breakfast and drinks. The common area on the second floor is good for studying and/or lounging.
