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 KingdomLovely. Only stayed one night. Fairly central. Walk to bus station is a bit sketch with people but can’t be helped due to it being a city. Overall great facilities and great price. No towel provided or curtain. But it was good and clean and had a guitar and billiards.

LithuaniaThere are not too many stores or cafes nearby and no events to socialise
The hostel is big and cleam. My room was nice, it had a fridge and a fan. The bed was comfortable. Located not too far from the city center. It also had a common area with games. For the price it is a good place to stay in.

New ZealandThe showers were very low in height, very noisy everyone could hear the pipes when someone turn the shower on full power, but they were good water pressure and clean. Very little space to put stuff on like hooks or a shelf because of this someone left a hairdryer in the sink. Room was very warm but there was a fan which did its best.
The staff were good. The place was clean and mostly as expected.

SwedenBeds are really hard, made my butt fall asleep too. That's a first. Moldy curtains from being damp I think. Loud at night because it's kind of a bad neighborhood with drunks outside, but I still felt safe.
Staff is great, helpful and nice! Rooms are minimalistic with fridges, which is good. There are fans and windows open.

New ZealandI know that central Auckland can be a noisy place, but I did find the shouting from drunks or whoever in Greys Ave throughout the night disruptive to a sound sleep.
The Chinese girl (from Habin) on Reception was absolutely lovely... very helpful. I like staying at the YMCA - it's handy to central Auckland and the facilities are all that I need for each stay. It's never too crowded, so toilets and showers remain clean and fresh.

Room was very clean and staff were very friendly and helpful! The only thing that I would say is that I went with my friend.. and the female bathrooms were down a level? So I would definitely go again but would ask to be on a floor with female toilets and showers!
