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...).

IrelandThe kitchen facilities could be cleaner although this is no fault of the staff just from other guests not cleaning up after themselves. Staff could be more friendly.
The pods are very comfortable and nice to have your own space while sharing with others. The bathrooms were very clean and tidy. Nicely decorated and central location. Great to have Miss Lucy's bar/restaurant attached to the hostel.

New ZealandThe kitchen was untidy as most guests didn't make an effort to keep it clean and tidy for other guests. The fridge is shockingly packed and guests don't bother to keep them tidy too.
Good Location and close to city central. The ability to prepare and cook our own food. Staff very friendly and helpful.

New ZealandI unfortunately had a very noisy stay. I had neighbours who were talking loudly into the wee hours of the morning, the walls were thin so I could hear their entire conversation while trying to sleep. I would not recommend this place for anyone wanting to sleep during the day or sensitive to noise, I had recently come off a long haul flight and wanted to take a nap. They play loud music in the hallways here and with the thin walls the music is also loud in the rooms. Even when not trying to sleep I had to play my own music to block it out, it was SO irritating. I found the bathrooms quite dirty, the showers were always covered in hair and there are no shelves in the cubicles to put your belongings on so I had to put my stuff on the wet, hairy floor. I would probably book a room with a private bathroom if I stayed here again.
Nice modern place with a great aesthetic. Convenient location especially to the airport bus (which is why I chose this place). Check in and out is super easy, all digital with no need to interact with anyone. I had a private room with shared bathroom, the room was basic but all I needed, and a comfortable bed.

New ZealandHousekeeping wasn't great - it would take a day or two for soap to be refilled + toilets unclogged in the bathroom. I don't think the kitchen was ever fully cleaned, + there were never enough tea towels or forks. I'm also fairly certain the staff lost my mail.
Locations is great; beds are very private + come with large lockers, lockable with your room key. Common spaces are very comfy.

IsraelThe room had no window and really needed an extra place to set your bag other than on the bed. some creativity could have been added to the room to make it more welcoming. The showers were great but also missing a shelf.
The lobby, bar and communal facilities were some of the best I have seen. It is bery esthetic, large and has a feeling of freshness and variety of people. a welcoming place for a flashpacker, not a grungy party hub but offers plenty of socializing for any age or situation. The air is filtered throughout the hospital so it felt fresh and smelled clean.

New ZealandNo cleaning service for 7 days, no changing of towels. No window in the room, felt a bit claustrophobic and missing out on natural light and fresh air (Had to use air conditioning/fan all the time). Kitchen area is way too small for such a large hostel, I wasn't comfortable using it, too crowded basically at any period of the day.
Great location, friendly staff, comfy bed, reliable & fast WiFi, quiet room (3rd floor)

New ZealandMinimalistic rooms (no window, no shelves or wardrobe, no tea making facility in private room). If I pay that much for it, I feel I should be given small shampoo tubes & tea/ kettle. Fixed mirror in room makes me uneasy. Is there a camera behind?) Also, there should be an alarm which controls the room light so the room gets gradually lighter as it nears sunrise time. The sound proofing wasnt too great.
