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...).

SpainThe location is in a decent area, but it's a bit far from the city center, and you’ll need to walk a bit to get there.
The staff is friendly, the hostel is clean, and the bed is comfortable. The hostel is not very large in terms of rooms or capacity, but it has many common areas. Its layout encourages guests to interact and make friends in the shared spaces. The value for money is excellent.

Czech RepublicThere is no wi-fi on the terrace - I do not understand why this is missed, but it causes a problem for people who need to work a little bit during the day. Noise from outside, especially from the roads.
Common areas, terrace, pool, view, excellent 10-minute walk to the east with beautiful beaches and good restaurants, nature.

United StatesThe doors to the rooms didn’t lock, for instance we were in an all girls room of 4, and that room didn’t have a lock or key to get into, so really anyone could come in. Also one of the nights someone took the AC remote out of our room so it was extremely hot.
The location had easy parking outside, and wasn’t too far from downtown. Overall the hostel was clean and comfortable. It was also quiet. The owners were easy to get in contact with and quick to reply with any questions. Had a nice view of the water from the rooftop.

RomaniaArriving at 23 o clock tired and having to put the sheets on the bed myself while everyone was sleeping was not a good approach from my point of view. I asked around other people from the hostel and they agreed. Great facilities overall, recommend it, but should be also written that after midnight people should not chit-chat in the kitchen as it is close to the rooms.

AustriaThis was the most expensive hostel-bed i ever booked - I paid 50€ per night for a bed in a dorm! I would have expected at least a made up and comfortable bed for that money! But i had to put sheets on the mattress myself on arrival and the mattress was worn and would have needed replacement (i was lying in a deep dent in the middle, so couldn'd sleep on my side or stomach, as i usually do)! Also, the bathroom light was broken, and a chair and a picknick table in the common area (that could have been fixed easily, by tightening some screws) were broken and not fixed during my stay.. The breakfast was decent, but if you arrived at the wrong time, there was nothing there, because the items were all taken and only refilled an hour later - i would have expected some more attention and care by the staff for 50€ a night.. Also, i would have expected a personal check-in for that kind of money, instead of a self check-in after 4pm.. Also, the location was not great, with busy streets on both sides, and quite far from the center..
The hostel was clean

PolandThe only thing I didn't enjoy was the fact that you have to pay 15 euro for laundry. But there is a laundromat quite close to the hostel :)
Really amazing hostel, clean and modern. The swimming pool and the whole rooftop area is super cool! Also I stayed in an all female dorm and was very happy with the en suite bathroom there :) it is 15 minutes walk from the city centre, but a bus that takes you to the best trails stops right next to the hostel

Czech RepublicI would enrich the breakfast of some fruits/vegetables. Just to make it a little bit more variable and healthier. Otherwise no complaints.
The hostel has very friendly vibes. The guests can meet at a terrace with beautiful view to the ocean. The cleanliness was generally good. I felt very safe inside the hostel and even comfortable on the bunk bed - you can close the curtains and create a little "bedroom" of your own. Also the neighborhood felt very safe. It was my first experience with a hostel and taking into account the price and service, it was definitely not the last:)

NetherlandsLaundry is €15. That is very pricey.
Good location at the oceanfront, free parking available, well equipped kitchen, free breakfast, relatively clean, nice common area, met lots of cool people, good wifi, bunk beds have privacy screens for a bit of privacy. Fun having breakfast together with the other guests. I would definitely stay here again.
