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...).

EstoniaI spent 4 days, I guess it's too much party hostel for my taste - in the evening no quiet place to eat dinner or talk with somebody. I did small washing myself, but there was no place to dry clothes, other than pay 6 eur for drier.
I liked the staff available in almost any time. Also that it's very clean, and there was personal light at each bed. Location is great.

BrazilUnfortunately the access door to the balcony gives access to the other room and when opened, smoke from smokers enters the room and although the room is female, it allowed an unpleasant incident (a guy came in and argued with a girl, maybe something can be done about it) I never use a hostel kitchen, so the size of the kitchen (small) was indifferent to me, however, a little renovation would be good, because despite the staff's noticeable commitment to keeping it clean, it doesn't look clean
Great location and service.

BelgiumIt's not something about the hostel, but weed is legal in Malta and the whole room often smelled because someone was grinding it at night. Secondly, do be aware that even though you label food with your name, people might take it. My slippers also got stolen, so make use of the locker under your bed!! My only bad point about the hostel is the kitchen. It's old and the equipment could use an upgrade. Not every gas stove plate worked.
I stayed there as a solo traveller for 3 night and had a good time here. For the price you pay, it's good. The location is great, a 10min walk to Sliema and a wide range of busses to take. If you like partying, it's very close to the clubbing area. The common area is nice and with good weather the terrace is a plus. Friendly staff and the people staying there were great, even though no one was really my age surprisingly (19).

JapanStaffs didn't know what dates the tour was. We booked the tour, paid for it and waited at the meeting point for a while but no one showed up so we went back to reception and found out there was no tour that day. And check-in is from 14:00, but although I arrived at 13:30, there was a line and I was able to check in at 16:00. There was only one receptionist and I thought it took too long.
Good location and a good to meet people.

SloveniaKitchen is too small for that many capacity of guests. And a lot of guests are not very good at cleaning after themselves 🙈😁
There is a big balcony with bar and parties during night. So if you like good time during nights it's a perfect hostel but if you want to sleep it's also OK because I couldn't hear anything from room. I really like art on hostel walls.

PolandOur room needed to be renovated a while ago, which is not a big deal for a one night, but I can't imagine staying there longer. Shared bathrooms & toilets were not keept on level that we would expect. Common spaces are slightly let down. In the kitchen one is expecting a lot a cutlery & stuff for cooking/ eating - but there's only a few of it, moreover in rather poor condition.
I used to like this hostel a few years back; cool place with very good vibes. Although that time I stayed always in dorms. I like idea, design and good vibes of this busy place. This is a place for a budget backpacker.
