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...).

LithuaniaMain downside is the amount of space you have. I am 192cm and around 95kg and the bed was just big enough, if you are taller than 195, i wouldnt recommend sleeping here. Same with the showers, they are nice and clean, but very small, hard to manouver in them. Also there are lockable lockers, but they are quite small, you will be able to fit a computer, but not your suitcase or bag. And there isnt really space to store your belongings, in the bathroom while showering and in the rooms while sleeping.
The price for value is great. Everything is clean, tidy and organized. The location is near a tram station and if you dont mind walking 15min - you can get to the city centre by foot.

FranceNothing really. Maybe the number of showers is not the best, at least at the floor I was staying, but it is a tiny detail, as they were clean and convenient.
The hostel location is amazing, very central, like a 7 minute walk from the central city square and all the main city landmarks. On tope of that, it is a walking distance from the bus stop that goes from and to the airport.

ArmeniaThe bathroom and the toilet. It was clean, but the cabins were really small, though it was okay for the price.
The staff was nice, and I could check-in late at night without any issues. The location is also great, as if you go out somewhere very late, one of the night trams has a stop very close to the hostel.

BelarusNo place to hang your coat or jacket, boxes for personal stuff are small, it's dusty under beds, no little lamps and power sockets behind beds, one switch turns off all the light in the room, the door to dormitories and administration must be fixed (it almost never closed).

BelgiumThe lockers are small, so only fit smaller backpacks and valuables. It would be good to have large lockers that can fit in a small suitcase/large backpacks.
Clean, well equipped kitchen, very friendly and helpful staff. Dorm room didn't feel cramped, and there were enough electric sockets. Great that the living room and kitchen are separate from the dorms so that sleeping areas are quiet.

AustraliaThe lockers were quite small, only enough to fit handbag/small valuables. No age limit on the property so shared the room with one older man who made me feel a little off.. entrance stairs dark at night. Also be prepared to make your bed on arrival, not a huge issue but just a heads up.
Very clean, modern and stylish. Comfortable stay with small lockers, charging ports close to bed & a couple options for showers which were kept clean.

The location is in a great location for a good value. It’s easily accessible on the 1st floor and I felt very safe with the 24/7 reception, key cards and keys for the room and locker. The interior is very thoughtfully decorated. Everything was very clean.

CroatiaThe main issue was that the room was looking out to a tram road which was VERY loud early in the morning and we had to leave the window open because it was summer and 6 people sleeping in the room.
Great location, close to the Old City and many restaurants and cafes around. The room was tiny, but for one night it was ok. It was clean!
