Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.

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...).

NorwayBit cold in the bathroom (we arrived at night).
We had the room with the backyard view and private bathroom. The room was old-fashioned but clean and comfortable. There was a kettle so we could make a cup of tea. Parking was against the fee. The hostel is so near to the old town! The lady in the reception was waiting for us to open the gate to the parking place at 1 am. Really good communication. It was our 3rd stay. If you are sensitive against the. noise, try to avoid "town view" rooms. Those rooms have windows against the main road.

IndonesiaThe only issue that we encounter during our period of stay is the room can become quite cold during the night, because the heating system is not properly work in 100% capacity. If they able to fix this issue, then it'll be perfect place to stay as a budget traveler.
In general, our experiences while staying in the hostel is quite good. The person that welcoming us in the front desk is very helpful with us. The whole facilities inside the hostel are either good enough or at least, reaching the standard for a place to stay for a short period.

NorwayThe room smelled slightly like cigarettes/ashtray. Probably because of the carpets or chairs (Beds were ok)??? But it was acceptable. Not very strong..In Poland nearly everybody smokes. The smell is ubiquitous. The window faced the main street with a lot of traffic. Despite this, we were able to sleep well (with ear plugs in my case).
The hotel is very central, near to the old town, restaurants, shops... Check in/out was easy. Good communication. The facility (toilets, bathrooms) are newly reconstructed. Very clean! Towels for 5 zloty at the reception. Beds are OK for good sleep. I can fully recommend the hotel. Very cheap and ok for sleep over.

Hong KongMy room type is by the main road, so traffic noise could be heard day and night even with windows completely closed. Curtain blinds can only block some light from outside so it wont be complete dark at night when you turn off the light. Light sleepers without ear plugs would find it very difficult. Know they have rooms not facing the main road but of course at different prices.
Front desk runs 24/7 and staff is friendly and helpful. Luggage storage before/after check-in/out available. The whole place is a bit run-down but things look well maintained. The room is basic but clean (but lighting a bit too dim), So does the shared bathroom and kitchen. I like they have an old-fashioned but comfy armchair in my room.

The hostel is well organized with a 24/7 reception. It is very well kept and quite clean. It is quite close to the city center but sufficiently away to avoid all the noise. Honestly, I was very surprised by the whole ordeal given the price. Great place. If you are a backpacker like me, stay here.

The room was spacious and the kitchenette came in very handy for morning coffee. The dining room was very nice and the breakfast was delicious. Proximity to the Old Town is also an advantage - you can walk there.
