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...).

LebanonThe bathroom and shower are not very clean. Only one shower in the 3 floors was working. It was really disgusting to take shower. The sink in the room was broken.
It is very close to the center and it is cheaper than other hostels and airbnb in Amsterdam.

PortugalI would like to express my total dissatisfaction with the experience I recently had at Hostel Princess Amsterdam. Since arrival, the stay was extremely disappointing and did not correspond at all to the expectations created by the photos and online descriptions. Right at the entrance, the hostel looked terrible, very different from what was advertised. The staff showed a total lack of preparation and could not help us in any situation where we need assistance. In addition, there was no water available - much less hot water - which made the stay even more unpleasant. The structure of the hostel also left a lot to be desired. The supposed shared "kitchen" is nothing more than a small space in the reception, without minimum conditions to be used properly. The shared bathroom, instead of serving a reasonable number of guests, was divided with the entire floor, which had at least six rooms, each with several beds. This made the use of the facilities extremely uncomfortable and impractical. Another serious problem was the lack of security. The lockers to store belongings didn't work and, to make matters worse, on the first night, someone entered our room because the reception handed over the wrong access cards. This generated a feeling of enormous insecurity. In addition, we ran out of power in the room, with all the sockets not working, making it impossible to charge essential devices. We reported the problem to the reception, but there was no solution. The hygiene conditions were equally unacceptable. The environment had a very unpleasant smell and it was clear that cleanliness was not a priority on site. We don't recommend this hostel!!!
The price is cheap

TurkeyThere was a shortage of soap and toilet paper in the toilets, more care could have been taken in terms of hygiene in the rooms.
I had a few problems with the room but they helped me out. The reception was good. The location is very good, the view from the attic rooms is very nice.

United StatesThe shower room has a very odd shower spray way high up so it was not adjustable for shorter people. There was NO HOT WATER in the shower in freezing weather in November. There could have been a little stool in the room to sit on and a little shelf just above the sink in the room to put things on. There was no kitchen per se and it was very dirty. I blame the owner of the hostel for the inconveniences. The owner/owners need to have more "respect" for their guests.
I liked the one bunk bed for 2 girls and the room was quiet for it was at the back of the hostel.
