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...).

New ZealandSoap/shampoo was average. It also took awhile to get us checked in. We had to check in a 3.45pm instead of 3pm which meant we were slightly late for our event.
Location was good and the place was clean.

United KingdomPods get suuuuper hot at night, the shared bathrooms could have been cleaner- maybe cleaned little and often as well as the big clean once per day. The hostel seemed a little cold to me, lots of emphasis on being cool and having lots on the go, but not so much on being a welcoming environment. The kitchen is under equipped - not enough plates/cups/knives for the number of guests. There were no communal salt/pepper/cooking oils, yet there were 3 vending machines full of snacks. A bit annoying for travellers who can’t take those things with them so end up going without.
Good location, lots of activities, beds give more privacy than most shared dorms. The key card means you don’t have to worry about bringing a padlock. The staff are also used to having travellers new to the country arriving which makes things easier.

GermanyUnfortunately, I didn't sleep that well in my dorm. The room (104) didn't have any windows, just a floor fan and the air was really bad and too warm. We didn't have any option for temperature control in our room. The capsules have little fans integrated into them but mine was so loud I couldn't sleep with it being turned on, so I had to leave my sliding door open. It's a shame because apart from that I liked the hostel. Further suggestions: put hooks for bags and jackets in the ground floor toilets, put up one big mirror in the dorms, put toilet brushes into all toilet cabins so that everyone can clean up after themselves.
Very modern hostel, spacious common areas to meet other travellers or to sit down and work, great staff, the capsule style beds provide privacy when you're staying at the dorms. Enough toilets and showers for the amount of people. Everything was very clean.

New ZealandThe beds were a bit hard, so not really cosy. There wasnt enough air conditioning in the pod, so when you had the slide cover closed for a bit of privacy it felt quite closed in and stuffy.
I liked the modern look and layout of the place. The sleeping pods were something new to me, but are pretty cool.

United KingdomNo window in my room. Laundry system needs to be looked at with the tokens. I came down on three occasions for tokens but kept being told 'they'd sold out and were looking for more'. For what you pay vs what you get, it is very expensive.
Extremely clean, good common areas. Decent sized room with additional seating. Even though there were only three showers on our floor, there didn't seem to be a queue in the mornings. Check in and out was smooth.

GermanyThe first time I stayed here, everything was fine. But this time it was the worst experience: I booked a single room and when I entered the room they gave me, the room was occupied by a homeless guy. After that, I got a new room where I found a bed bug. At least they gave me a full refund.

New ZealandFirst of all, the environment, the people staying there and the staff were no welcoming people... I mean the staff is nice, but they don't have any hospitality skills. The place is any but cozy, and the kitchen is dirty and nobody follows the rules. The price is too expensive compared with the facilities and the space, it seems fancy but is not that good.
