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...).

PolandI supposed to stay 5 days , i stayed 1 month! The place has great localisation, not far from the beach and main touristic street but in the calm area. I was in woman dormitory, it has enough space for privacy and lockers. Safe space. Each dormitory have private bathroom and kitchen, this is really great.

TaiwanThe place was only cleaned when someone new is coming in, sometimes the bathroom was clogged with sand and is a little dirty. Also my roommate kept thinking that I took her utensils when I didn’t.
The staffs were very helpful and very nice to me, especially Karim, who helped me with my backpack and bringing me things I need. The hostal was nice for a couple nights of stay, the place is spacious and every room have its own kitchen and bathroom.

BrazilThey put the aircon on 23, I think it should be lower than that, maybe 19, because the room was still hot (depending on the outside heat). A volunteer staff was mean, and made up a story of toilet papers been left on the floor, so she would not have to clean the bathroom. We never saw any of what she was talking about.
There is a small, separate from the dorm, kitchen just for each dorm.

Bosnia and HerzegovinaOne of those places where I'm sure I would have a completely different experience had it not been for bad roommates. 1st impressions were great - clean, spacious, the dorms organised like individual 'apartments' (each with its own bathroom, kitchen and a little seating area that could be used for dining or remote work, especially since wi-fi doesn't work in the bedroom). Sadly, however, I shared a room with what appeared to be long-term stays (or just people with little co-habiting experience, never actually met them) so it meant that the recepcionist had to take out their things to, at least, give me a locker but absolutely every other surface was covered in their things and I could not use the seating area or the kitchen. Moreover, they had arrived during the night and were hanging in the nice common area but kept coming in to get something, turning the light on and speaking loudly with zero concern for that other guest (me) trying to sleep. Again, the property and the facilities seemed good but I never got to enjoy any of them. Location-wise, it is far from the centre but a safe familial neighbourhood.

This hostel is unique because each part has their own kitchen. I really enjoyed having my own space while being able to meet others. Air con was working well.

CanadaPlace has no name, no flag, ni indentification outside. They billed me more than my confirmation on booking, staff were sleeping in my room and were “getting ready to go out” until 12:30am…high hills shors and lights on in and out the dorm, no water pressure in the water sink,toilet and shower (need no go downstairs). Breakfast is bread with strawberry jam so bring eggs and fruits ;) and ear plugs for the neighbors.
Quiet area, not too far from the downtown and a lot of options for groceries :) Comfortable bed and nice kitchens. Power socket and mini light for each bed. Clean in general. Beautiful terrasse to chill. Bike rental available.

United KingdomIt is a new hostel and a few small things are still missing: Socket by bed Hook to hang towels and clothes in the bathroom. Cooking equipment in the kitchen is very basic, 2 ring camping hob and plastic crockery. There was no hot water for the 2 showers we had but that may have just been bad luck.
The people who run the hostel are really lovely. Nice outdoor seating area. Water and coffee provided all day. Good location, close to beaches, bars, restaurants and supermarket.

GreeceThere is not enough staff, so no proper cleaning is done. Usually the was not toilet paper in the bathroom and the trash from the kitchen was never collected in 5 days, attracting many flies. Towels are not provided for free. There was a water leak under the kitchen sink. The kitchenware was old and not enough. There was not a light and a shelf at the beds of the dormitory.
The location is good, it is 15 minutes walking from the beach, the main pedestrian street, and there are also supermarkets and restaurants in walking distance. The staff was friendly and helpful. There was also free coffee and water all day and breakfast (bread with marmalade).

IndiaWiFi only works properly in the common area and rarely inside the dorms. Can be problematic when it rains cause there is little covered space in the common area.
The hostel had a nice chill vibe. Great music always playing but not in a loud disrupting manner. It had a more B&B vibe than a hostel. Each dorm had its own bathroom and kitchenette. The beds were excellent, and the room was cool and quiet at night

MexicoThere was a very unhygienic man that stayed in the dorm. The staff was horrified by his smell and took many efforts to disinfect, remove his dirty clothing, burn incense. Unfortunately he came back drunk and noisy in the night and we girls literally felt unsafe in the room. I know you cannot control everything but I think ***he should have been asked to leave due to hygeine and the discomfort he caused to everyone sharing space with him.*** I did mention this to the manager in the beginning and I hope in the future they would take such a measure to better insure comfort and safety of all guests.
The staff was helpful, everything was always clean especially the bathroom, my room had a locker with a key. Nice music always playing and low key vibes in the outdoor space. I think it's a great hostel that is always making improvements.
