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...).

SwitzerlandNothing to mention.
I appretiated how clean the facility was. The view on the sea and the beds were also very nice as well as the location. Easy to get around and easy to get to and from the airport.

United Kingdomthe one downside to bathrooms inside the room is people who chose to take long showers in the shower/toilet rather than the shower only stall and people who had extensive hair routines with a blow drier (you're at the beach!) at 7am
definitely one of the best hostels I've ever stayed in - the best of the basics (curtains around and individual lights by the beds, more than enough hooks, towel and linens provided), spacious, with a good mix of interaction and quiet space, close to transport and the beachfront, helpful staff; plus the extras like breakfast, hammocks, a pool! it's amazing it's the price it's at.

IrelandI couldn't fault it. We didn't have a single issue.
The location was excellent, literally a two minute walk to balluta bay where you can take a dip in the sea. Within walking distance of loads of nice bars and restaurants also. The hostel itself is lovely, nicely decorated with very good facilities.

NorwayNice location, close to the city, beach and bus stops around. When I visited in October the hostel was located in the shade which means there are no sun around the pool. Great view of the ocean from the room. Two showers in the 12 bed female dorm that I stayed in. AC working, and comfortable beds. Okey breakfast. Nice people working there.

FinlandWhen I arrived I was told because I had booked my stay so early (May) they were forced to split my booking and I had to check out and switch rooms after two nights. Eventually I ended up being in two different 4-bed rooms when I had booked a bed in a 6-bed room. Fine, at least I had a bed for all 4 nights, but I just found this very strange.
I had a good stay. I didn't use the pool since other guests told me the water is very cold but I loved hanging around it. The garden with hammocks was very beautiful. Location is close to Balluta Bay bus stops and it's a walking distance from places like Paceville and Sliema ferries so you can also get to Valletta easily.

ItalyThe wifi was great in the common room but a bit more unstable in the room, sometimes it was not connecting or not that strong. The breakfast is a bit essential, maybe something warm would have been appreciated, but for an hostel it is ok
Great position, very clean and the structure in general was very nice. All the beds had a reading light and curtains. Common room and swimming pool were both very nice

SloveniaEverything was great! Good experience!
It was clean, they were cleaning the rooms and bathroom everyday. The breakfast was included which was great. The stuff was super friendly, they helped a lot! You can alse reserve trips on the reception. There is a pool and outside area which is awsome for hanging out! There is also kitchen with boxes where you store your own things. The location is great, walkable to St. Julian’s and Silema. The enviroment around is very nice, and there is a beach 2 minutes away.

EstoniaIn garden vas nice to chill under lemon trees. Good location, nearby everything needed. In kitchen is friendly system, that guests can keep their food in their boxes with name and if they do not need something anymore, then leave the food in free boxes for everybody :) You need your own lock, to close box for things under the bed. Previous time did buy the lock from reception, so now already had it :) Breakfast table was good, with many choices, eating outside with lovely view.

SwedenThe room was quite damp despite AC and fan running. Location wise it was a bit of a hassle getting to and from Valletta as buses were irregular and often packed. The ferry from Sliema was a better option but a bit of a walk from St Julian. Breakfast was not quite as shown in the pics on Booking, but still very nice for a hostel.
Well-kept facility and friendly staff. Appreciated the complimentary breakfast. Nice clean sheets and curtains for the beds. Close to the bus stop.

AustraliaThe first few nights the hot water wasn't working properly. Some of the breakfast items weren't covered properly and had flies hanging around. Their washing machine didn't work.
I really liked the location and the fact that it had a pool. Also, the storage lockers under the bed were nice and big, I could fit my open suitcase in there. The breakfast was also really good as it included bacon and eggs.
