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...).

NetherlandsWe couldn't stay longer:(
The owners are really friendly and helpful with any kind of practical needs. The hostel is close to the historic center. We received fresh towels every day and the room was cleaned perfectly. We really enjoyed our stay and would return in a minute!

BelgiumI've never seen so many rules, e.g. after checkout you can't be on the terrace, if you leave your luggage during the day and pick it up after 8pm you need to pay extra etc I didn't appreciate at all they let ppl do their check-in and come to the dorm at 8am while we are still sleeping.
The comfort of the bed,the terrasse, the kitchen. Quiet place

MexicoThere seemed to be no effort to create community, so no one was ever around to talk to. People came and left without talking to one another. It was basically just a clean bed. That was nice, but not why I go to hostels. The kitchen closed at a certain hour, making late night snacks impossible.
It was clean and quiet. The lady at the front desk was very helpful. It was a short walk to the city center.

Staff were very welcoming and helpful, the rooftop terrace is awesome and has views across the city. Room was clean and great bathroom. The property was located just outside the main area but only a couple of minutes walk and was ideal for us as quieter and more relaxing.

United KingdomExcellent location very swift walk into the centre. High security ie a good entrance into the hostel helpful staff calling taxis and luggage hold for after checkout if you don't want to leave town immediately. I stayed in a studio and was grateful for the hair dryer after 2 weeks traveling the first place I had booked that did...nice roof terrace with splendid night views across the city I wished I had more nights booked there and would definitely stay again... recommended.

GermanyNothing to complain! :)
I really enjoyed my 5 day stay. The staff was super sweet and helpful throughout my time there. I've never seen any room or kitchen being cleaned so thoroughly. The location is not directly (still close enough) in the center which I think is a big plus because it's in a nice and quiet street with a great rooftop and view onto the town and mountains. FIY it's not a party hostel which was perfect for me! Muchas Gracias! <3

Good staying, we got a large private room and it was simple but got everything you need. Free coffe and water every morning and room service as well. Staff was kind. Terrace is nice.

United KingdomNot the best for socialising as the only communal area is the terrace which closes at 10pm. Could do with more curtains in the room as the light from the bedroom next door shines through into the room at night.
The rooftop was great

PortugalThe location is not perfect, but you can easily walk to the center. The room has very interesting details but we found the area a bit small for 2 people with large backpacks. The shower had low pressure and was fixed to the wall (but this is quite common throughout Mexico).
The Hostel has a very relaxed atmosphere. It's all super clean and pleasant. The staff is very kind and always helpful. The bed was super comfortable and having Netflix in the room is always amazing! The hostel also has an incredible rooftop with a superb view of the city. The hostel also has a station with filtered water for guests to drink (something quite rare in Mexico).

LuxembourgWe had a room facing the corridor with a curtain, so no window really. The inside window was facing the cleaning room with no curtain, so there was a light coming in during the night. Not hostels fault, but there was a lot of trash in front of the building, something to address with the city.
Very good hostel, clean and comfortable. They provide free drinkable water and there is room cleaning service daily. No noise, nice terrace on the top of the roof
