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...).

United KingdomI found the dorm can be too warm - and the window was to be left closed. Some fresh air would help to regulate the temperature!
Such a friendly atmosphere, perfect as a solo traveller. Excellent value and lovely location. Comfortable facilities. Great food! Really friendly staff. The guests in my dorm were also respectful.

PolandSome guests may not always respect quiet hours, leading to noise at night and early in the morning. That's why I recommend booking a 12-bed room.
The hostel is really nice and well-maintained. The staff is friendly and helpful. The bed is comfortable, with a good duvet and pillow, and there's a socket right next to it. It's great that there are no hidden charges, like extra fees for a locker or a towel—everything is already included. The shower is good, with good water pressure and plenty of hot water. The WiFi is excellent!

SpainNot a big deal, but some things can be improved. The automatic light in the dorm room turns on when someone moves. It creates unnecessary brightness suddenly. Also the privacy curtains are not totally covering so they let some light pass from outside. I recommend using low lights automatically at night time and a stronger light if the person needs it and extending the privacy curtains. Also, I think the bed sheets and covers should be handled by staff in any paid accommodation rather than making guests make their own bed.
The entrance and common area is great! The showers and bathroom is well equipped and clean. The staff is very friendly and approachable. The lockers automatic with your key card, so no need to buy or bring lock.

FinlandHad an excellent stay! The location was perfect, close to the city center but far enough to be quiet and pleasant in the evenings. Staff was incredibly helpful as well with making changes and giving info. The dorm beds have a great amount of privacy with the curtains and walls as well. Definitely recommended!

United KingdomThat you had to make your own bed after a long day of travel. I was already exhausted.
All the staff were really friendly and helpful. The facilities were clean and easy to use - the shower was incredible. Nice atmosphere and a good location. It wasn't loud and the people in my dorm where mindful of noise. All in all - a great stay and I would stay again.

United StatesNothing to mention. Three of my 6 photos are not of the hostel. Unfortunately, I could not remove them.
Overall a delightful 4 night stay. I stayed in a female only room. The property is located on a quiet street. It is very clean, offers a cafe and 24 hour reception. I used the gym but not the laundry services. One staff member stood out. Giulia was friendly and very helpful. 😀

Even though the location wasnt in the city centre, this is a benefit. As the surrounding areas are very pretty and clean. Transport links are great and only takes 10 mins to get into the city centre

FranceThe lighting was overall very dim in the room, and in the bathroom, it was a bit hard to get ready. Some additional hooks and sitting stools would have been nice in the room.
All the staff members were very kind, and the reception is 24/7. They can hold your bag and store your food in the fridge there, which is useful. I believe the place was recently renovated, and everything was clean. The bed was comfortable, as well as the bedding. This is a calm hostel, which I appreciated. The reception was functioning as bar/café as well. A tram station was just in front of the hostel.

Latvia1. One shower had water flowing outwards in the bathroom which I believe is some irregular floor slope. Needs fixing as it's right by the door to the dorm. 2. There are 2 huge beautiful mirrors in the female dorm (12 occupancy) but poor lighting makes everyone do their makeup in the washroom with only 2 sinks which is a pain. 3. Oh yes, carry your own water bottle from the supermarket (Albert Hejin) in the city instead. Not available at the hostel for purchase.
1. The staff was friendly and welcoming and also served a welcome drink. 2. Has a WhatsApp community to engage people staying at the hostel with biking rentals available. 3. The dorm was easily accessible. 4. The shower was amazing and toilets kept clean. 5. Beautiful cubicle bed with clean sheets, pillow cover, duvet, charging point and a screen for privacy. I loved this. 6. Silent dorm. 7. Easy n close access to public transport via tram. 8. To travel to Schipol airport, I wish someone had answered this before in FAQs. Take a train (intercity - you get tickets at the airport or station kiosks) to Amsterdam central station. Right outside the station at track A take tram 14 Javaplein to Artis/holocaust Museum to reach the hostel. Use GVB app for tickets for team,metro and buses. I enjoyed my stay and would recommend it.

FranceI wish the overhead light in the dorm wasn’t motion activated because the curtain in each bed doesn’t completely block light out and it’s pretty annoying to get woken up every time someone comes back to the hostel at 2am.
Clean and conveniently located ― right by a tram stop that you can take to virtually anywhere in Amsterdam. Staff are friendly and helpful and the property is very clean and up-to-date.
