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...).

BangladeshI had a fantastic stay! The property is beautifully designed, making it easy to fall in love with. This was my first time staying in a hostel, and I’m really happy with the experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always greeting with a smile. I also booked a bike and my transfer to PPS through them, which was very convenient.

UruguayBathrooms can be a little dirty for moments (normal in a hostel with so many people) and also there was like 2 hour where there was no water. Bad timming for me to shower.
Breakfast is great, beds comfortable and big. Also it was so easy to book trip to the islands, rent bike and other activities in the front desk.

United KingdomI really loved this place! I had a great stay here. It is well looked after and very clean. The beds were very big and comfy, with privacy curtains and plug sockets and shelves right next to each bed. Rooms had a key card access, and huge lockers, so felt very safe and secure. The breakfast was also amazing, with fruit, toast, eggs, pancakes etc. Lots of lounge areas, outdoor spaces and a co-working space. I will say, however, that this probably wasn't the most social hostel - people seemed to just keep to themselves.

AustraliaIt was harder to socialise due to the ample space. The laundry situation was confusing at first - I would have appreciated clearer communication on that part.
Honestly, one of the best hostels we have stayed at - spacious, ample privacy, great location & facilities.

NorwayThere are no duvet/sheet to have over you when you sleep, just a heavy blanket that i didn't use. I ended up using my sleeping bag liner.
I loved the location. You could just walk everywhere. It felt safe both to walk to restaurants, the sea etc, and safe at the hostel. The room was nice, with private bathroom and towels included. Also nice with breakfast included. Loved the hostel area.

United StatesThis is an amazing hostel. It’s very clean, it’s quiet, the staff is nice. Check in is easy. Tuk tuks are right outside which makes getting anywhere super easy. Good wifi. Great showers. The beds are massive. There is a restaurant and bar on-site. Short 5 min walk to town which is great because you’re away from all the noise. I really loved it here.
