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...).

United KingdomThe only issue i had was because my room was one floor above the restaurant/ bar i could hear the music really loud and thudding, it’s great when you’re part of the evening downstairs but i had a really early start the next day to travel and only got a couple hours sleep as the music didn’t stop until nearly 1am
It was very youthful and had been designed with socialising in mind which was great, lots of hang out spots around the hostel so it was very easy to meet people. I stayed in a 10 bed dorm and it was very spacious and clean and the beds/ pods were comfy and felt nice and the sliding door across gave a lot of privacy.

PortugalThere was some lack of cleaning in general, rooms, commom areas, loved the Outlook area. The staff was very professional and helpful but there was some lack of empathy, no smiles around, There was some lack of tools in the kitchen and there was no basic ingredients to cook like salt.
Very new building, great commom areas, well located. The rooms offer great privacy and the beds are very confortable with a lot of extra handy features.

New Zealandunfortunately there is no AC. In the rooms as advertised. Our room was so unbearably hot that we did not get any sleep at all and resorted to sleeping in our car after trying to use the door as a fan and trying to prop it open. Staff were of no help and suggested we sleep in the public lounge. sad because the room was very comfortable. Left early hours of the morning and exhausted for the 3 hour drive we had to get home.
Staff are friendly, location is good and everything is very clean and modern. great vibe for young people.

United KingdomThe pods were hot, there is no air con in the room/pods. There was no bin in my room or communal areas for general use like water bottle / paper waste other than the kitchen.
I had an 8 bed pod, the pod itself was clean and the mattress was comfortable. I like that the lockers are electronic locks and the steps up to the pod are easy to use. The women's bathroom was kept clean and they were spacious.

PeruLate check in, others and I had to wait for more than an hour as rooms weren’t ready. This is a killer after such long trips most people need to do to get to NZ. The reception and common areas have so much potential, they are not really welcoming or foster interactions.
I am obsessed with the capsule concept. Despite staying on other more “fancy” options like Airbnb and Hotels, this was my favorite stay during my trip. I found it very comfortable, gave good privacy and keeps the room quite as it restricts interactions. Bathroom is large, you get a towel, location is centric, restaurant on site.
