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...).

AustraliaBunk beds are a bit short so no space to sit upright on the lower bunk. No ladders to access the top bunk but you can request a ladder from staff if you need one.
I like the vibe of the place. Friendly and relaxed. Good spot very close to the beach and with a bus stop nearby. Bathrooms were very nice and the kitchen was good.

GermanyMy main issue was the noise of the bar at night, it's bar and common room mixed and the bar is open till 2 am every night. The issue is at night to get the mood up the music is turned up to a degree were you can't sleep in the dorm rooms, please make a max volume or turn it down around 11 pm. Secondly the opening of the kitchen of the common room at 8 am is a bit late especially if you have to catch an early train, I see no need for the served breakfast earlier but just the option to make myself some toast or cereal would be nice form 6 or 7 am.
Very nice staff, well equipped kitchen, great location for going to the beach. The big dorm room in the basement is quite hot and stuffy but it was okay.

GermanyThe Room with 10 other people was a bit too much for us. So next time we would book a room with less beds.
The staff in this hostel was very friendly and everything was clean. The Hostel is located very near to the beach. We liked the atmosphere of this hostel a lot and we would come back :)

NetherlandsThere was no ladder in the room to climb the stapple bed. We had to create "a ladder" with the table and the chair in the room.
The location is great. Super close to the beach and the dunes. Also, the bus stop going to Leiden is only 300m from the hostel making it very easy to go there.

GermanyThere are very few toilets and showers and the beds are not very comfortable. But it's a hostel for good value, so no need to complain about that!
Really good vibe and close to the beach. They have got a couple of games and there are some events at the bar. We didn't miss anything in the kitchen. I would definitely book again☺️

AustraliaThe room was under the bar so it could be pretty noisy some nights but they provided free earplugs which worked a treat. The room would get really hot some nights which could be pretty uncomfortable (this was in June). Also, I was expecting a more social hostel and they advertise different activities so Saturday was meant to be drinking games but when I went up there, there was nothing going on. I know the social aspect is based on the crowd at the time, but I was surprised the staff were not running the activities they were advertising.
The room was pretty spacious and the bed was comfortable enough. Super close to the beach which was amazing and good for watching the gorgeous sunset each night! There was also a good running/walking/cycling trail nearby which was in good condition.
