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...).

CanadaBathrooms aren't super well maintained in shared facilities.
Great location, super comfy beds. Music turns off at a reasonable hour, and it's a relatively quiet night, apart from the early morning rooster :)

FranceI forgot my mouthguard. The staff found it and sent it to my next destination. The swimming pool is nice. The breakfast is basic, but it is enough to survive until the lunch time. The dorms are OK. The only downside is that you can't open the windows.

New ZealandThe bunk beds are fairly narrow. The bottom bunk curtains cover the ladder to the top bunk so you have to disturb someone else's privacy to climb up. Gap on side of bed for things to fall down. Our dorm was right next to the pool tables and socializing area and the walls were so thin that it was very loud and difficult to sleep. Had to ask people to be quiet at 2am and then young children were playing pool loudly before 7am. The staff should ensure people adhere to the quiet time rules.
Good included breakfast, swimming pool, pool tables, great location set back from the street a short walk from night market, shopping and restaurants. Laundry service and tours.

United StatesCould use some comfy armchairs—even plastic would do—with a bit of recline for lazy, sit-back Westerners! I could do without the pumped in, mandatory pop music. It makes reading or quiet conversation difficult. (We all have our own music devices and headphones nowadays, so there’s no reason to force the same music—or any at all—on everyone!)
The free breakfast was fine. No kitchen access but the cook worked with me to make my custom (pre-gym) breakfast and there’s free drinking water (hot & cold) plus instant coffee in the common area.

GermanyIt wasn't possible to lock the bathroom door in my dorm room, so I had other travelers walk in on me changing. Also there could be more seating options in the common area. Especially in the morning and the evening all seats are usually taken and if you want to sit down and have a drink, you have to use the floor.
Nice Hostel with friendly staff and lots of Backpackers. Perfect for solo travelers. Nice swimming pool and pool table. Breakfast is included in the stay. Clean rooms and comfortable beds. AC is on all the time in the room.

NetherlandsI think some rooms might look a bit different as in the pictures. The rooms are convenient but not cozy or a warm atmosphere, but to me that was okay for this price.
Dorm with 4 beds felt spacious. Nice mattress and I liked the locker above the bed. Warm shower and good aircon and fan. Met some really nice people there. I would describe the vibe as easygoing and social if you're looking for that. Good breakfast: try the pancake, it's so fluffy and big!

Czech RepublicI should have paid a different (obviously lower) price than what I was charged, let's say because of the exchange rate... Well, overall it was a nice stay even for the final price.
I ordered the bed in female dorm for 6, I was assigned to the room for 4. It was nice. The room has its own bathroom so you don’t need to go out of the room. The breakfast is nice, you have an instant coffee and water during whole day. The view from hostel is beautiful and location is perfect, just a mins walk to night market. The owner is nice guy, he rents motorbikes and can arrange for you the bus and train tickets, all for fair prices.

Stuff left all over the sink from previous guests (not current ones) Admin is a bit disorganised, it’s all done in a book and not online so they lose track of who’s there and what beds etc The bread at breakfast was really sweet and the coffee wasn’t great but it was free
