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...).

FranceThe wifi at times didn't work for us. The private room has quite thin walls, so you hear what's happening in the dorm.
The staff was incredibly nice and helpful. They kept our bags safely as we went trekking for a week. The location is super central. Value for money was excellent! Drinking water and hot water are available in the common areas, and the breakfast was good.

UkraineWell, I booked a female dorm on the first floor but it appeared to be a passage room so all the men could pass it and even be in the same bathroom. Also one men slept in a female dorm. Besides that, it was really cold because of the location of the room. It was not comfortable to have a shower because the room is not completely closed so it was cold and not comfy. Toilet room was just disgusting sometimes. Maybe it’s fine on another floors, I am not sure. All the walls seem to be like paper, very thin and no sound isolation. No hairdryer. I didn’t like the breakfast, it was too unhealthy for me.
The staff seemed to be nice and helpful, trying to solve all the issues and all of my requests. A bed was fine. Location is very nice on a quiet street of Thamel.

GermanyThe shower was temporarily not working, however the common showers worked perfect, I was told it would be fixed the next day, but I only stay for 1 night, so I cannot tell. Be mind, there is not much sound isolation, and the door is big enough, but there is space above it to the next room, also not really covering sound, but I honnestly didn’t mind at all
Great to have my private room after a long time backpacking for a very reasonable price in Thamel, but in a cheap relaxed and clean part. The personel was super nice, and I could pay by card, very comfy. I recomand!

GermanyI can not emphasize enough how sympatic, heartwarming and exceptional the owners were to me. I felt very included among all their friends from the start. They will help you with everything and one can have good chats with all of them. The breakfast was very good as well. I was so lucky to have one dinner as well which was very good as well. The bed cabins are great, there is enough space for the Backpack and the locker seems very safe as well. Thank you so much for everything!
