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...).

Germanytotal no go: advertising the place as designated smoking area (I'm asthmatic and habe to work remotely - so relying on a usable work space) - and allowing smoking everyerwhere (there's no indoor space to sit) - smoke also went into our dorm and to the bathroom / showers. please change that. this is a serious health issue. especially if the boss himself just sits right next to you blowing smoke into your face at breakfast. one shower unusable as water was hitting the wall at the hight of my head.
lovely place in general. small but nice breakfast and lovely lady preparing it. volunteers are friendly and social as are the guests

PolandAlthough it is hostel and I didn’t expect any luxuries I felt dissapointed. Rooms definitely look better at photos than in reality - you can see that there is not much renovation. Window is in the passage so there is no privacy as everybody goes there and as a consequence not much light if you use the curtain. It is rather noisy place, not sure if because of pepole at the street or inside the place but i recommend using earplugs or lots of alcohol to sleep through the night. And last thing is the water in toilet is not flashing properly so… just imagine.
The personel was helpful and really nice. Good location.

NorwayToo early to turn airco off at 7AM. No place to cool down. Water in shower hardly had any pressure.
The interns/volunteers are cool, but the actual staff has very poor English, and wasnt very helpful. Breakfast was good.

My room was clean and perfect for one night; the bed was comfortable, and the aircon (and fan) a true blessing. It was quiet. The bathroom facilities were fine. The location is impeccable!

CanadaNoise is unbearable. It's hostel environment and the location is 10th Ave so the noise from outside is understandable. But we woke up in our first morning at 7AM (!) to the unbelievably high music being played by the STAFF (!) next door when she was cleaning the next door room. First we thought it's either from the teenagers staying at the hostel or the restaurant next door so we tried to go back to sleep but it was unbearable, we wanted to check, and once we saw it's a staff member doing this at 7AM, it blew our mind. Where is your common sense? It's freaking 7AM. We had very turbulent sleep for all 4 nights there, be prepared to wake up to music or variable noise either from the staff, or the restaurant next door, or guests overall. Since the rooms are right next to very narrow corridor where staff and guests walk by up and down all the time, it's never quiet. The common washroom is totally worn out. The washroom doors are broken, the floor is not paved, it's extremely small, and the floor is always wet. There is spider web all around the lighting fixture in the room, and the sheets were stained.
Location is perfect, right at the 10th Ave. Some staff are friendly and helpful.
