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...).

GermanyBut the entrance of the hostel was very noisy as it was in a street with bars and pubs. I woke up because of the noise when it was about to be morning. They give you a pair of earplugs. But it's still hard not to be bothered by the noise…
Since the hostel is in the center, you can walk to many places. Close to lots of places to eat. Staff are friendly and helpful. They helped me in many ways. Thank you for all. :)

Australia- On a lively street, which unfortunately means that there is sound over night. Although the hostel offers free ear plugs to counter this. Comes with the territory. -Shelving inside the shower itself would be a massive quality of life improvement
This is an absolutely amazing hostel. The front of house is a cafe that is on a lively street. The cafe itself is actually really good both the coffee and the carrot cake were amazing. The rooms were spacious, had heaps of natural light, good size lockers and were overall fairly clean. The facility is well equipped, everything works as intended and works well. The street that this hostel is on has a lot to offer from gastronomic adventures to partying. I could have spent my whole time at and/or near the hostel in Rotterdam and left a happy man.

Canada- we had the private room (room 206) for 2 nights July 23-25 — the room was unbearably hot even with two fans running (no A/C) - it was only 22deg at night but we could not sleep more than a few hours total (both nights) - the fridge in our room was broken (which would have helped greatly with the heat having cold drinks), we asked the front desk, they said they would talk to manager in 5min, 1hr later we went down again only to have the staff confirm that it was indeed broken and that we should use communal fridge (no fix was offered) - upon arrival there were clumps of hair on the ground and poop in the toilet - the main light while on barely produced any light, it was basically pitch black at night, we had to prop the bathroom door open to get light in the room (bathroom door would not stay open on it’s own) - overall the room was old and some baseboards have fallen of the wall, some artwork was clearly missing with giant hooks in the wall
- location to city center - able to check in over 2hrs early which was appreciated - despite alot of street noise outside, we could not hear anything which was great

GermanyThe lockers are so uncomfortable and risky to use. My locker had a broken hinge which I did not notice initially. It came crashing down on my elbow and resulted in an injury. The staff gave me ice to ease the pain in a timely manner. I requested the staff to allocate me a bed on the bottom as it was difficult to climb to my bed on top. They said since I had already prepared my bed and climbed on top they cannot give me another bed. I requested them for quite some time due to the injury caused in the process of using their faulty locker, but they just repeated their rules. The night staff seemed like they wanted to help but they had to go by the rules and were not in an authority to make decisions. The management was fast asleep by then!!! On a normal day, the hostel would have gotten a good rating from me. But they were unable to think out of the box in an exceptional situation. Dealing with expections is a test for any business venture, and looks like this hostel failed in it. I also enquired about filing for insurance for compensation for my health, time and money. The management asked me to send my medical examination reports for it. I sent them my medical examination report and I am still waiting for their response after a week.
The hostel was clean and the staff responded well to common requirements.

AustraliaDear King Kong Hostel, My brother and I recently stayed in Room 206 between the 19th - 21st of July and would like to request a partial refund for our booking, of at least one nights stay. The reasons for this request are: - For both nights at the hostel our room was unbearably hot throughout the day and night - even once the outside temperature had dropped to 20 degrees. I spoke with staff multiple times, with on staff member recognising this room was known for being “notoriously hot”. After being unable to change rooms we were suggested to just “put a wet towel on the fan” - which in itself is a electric hazard. The room stayed extremely hot for our entire stay, making it extremely difficult to sleep and the fan blowing hot air around the room did not help. - The room had extremely poor ventilation, with the window only opening 10cm, trapping in all the hot air. - The fridge did not work, which is advertised in the room ad as an amenity which we paid for. I left a drink in there for 24 hours and it was room temperature. - Extremely poor lighting, the main light in the room was incredibly dim, so after no solutions were presented by the staff I had to result to wearing a head torch to pack my belongings. I’ve attached images to substantiate this. Our stay due to these reasons was incredibly disappointing and would like to receive a partial refund, thank you.
location was the only highlight.
