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...).

CanadaEverything was perfect. Nothing bad to say about this place.
Best hostel I've been so far in my life. I've been travelling in hostels for the last 10 years and I was so happy with this place. I wished I stayed there longer instead of going to Wellington. Everything's clean, spacious, beds give you intimacy so it's really comfortable to share a room with others. Lockers are big enough for 65L backpacks and more. Honestly, it feels like a real hotel and the little restaurant in the building is very convenient. Will definitely go back there!!

PhilippinesThe pods are spacious, bed comfy enough. Lockers to store valuables inside the room. Accessible; location was superb. The SkyDrive to and from the Airport is just a few minutes walk from LyLo. Groceries, restaurants, bus stops, tourist spots are within walking distance. Staff were very helpful and kind. Clean; they clean the toilet and bathrooms 2x a day. They have a lift.

United KingdomIt's auckland so it's expensive. I wasn't keen on the area.
Our room was way better than I expected, nice size and clean and comfortable. We were on tbe third floor and it was surprisingly very quiet and calm at night so we slept very well.

AustraliaThe only tiny thing I was the biggest fan of, is the location. It is amazing that it is quite close to the CBD but the neighbourhood looked not really nice. But it didn’t matter a lot, since the property itself was even more beautiful in the inside.
It was an extremely modern design with beautiful interior. I felt really comfortable in our double bed room. I loved the opportunity of eating next door in the small restaurant, but unfortunately we did not have the time. We arrived in the middle of the night (3 a.m.), but didn’t have any struggle with check-in.
