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...).

AustraliaThe walls were very thin and not the fault of the property but my neighbours alarm was going off every 5 mins for 30 minutes since 5.30 AM in the morning and you can hear footsteps and talking very clearly.
The castles and museum, and laundromat within 10 min walk and also supermarket and cafe within 5 min down the road. Miguel the host was very helpful with facilitating my early check in and since the room was available I was able to put my bags down and wander around the city. There were also tea making facilities, microwave, and fridge (though was full) and outdoor seating area that you could eat out on and you can request an iron and use the tumble dryer for a fee. The room was big and the property was very clean overall and had a very comfortable stay!

Lithuania1. There is no hair dryer in the room - you must ask for it. 2. Breakfast is a huge bluff!! In the evening they informed us, that there will be pancakes and maybe eggs for breakfast, we also saw pancakes written in the 1st place of the breakfast menu which was placed on the kitchen table and at the reception. Expecting pancakes we paid 3,5 € each for the breakfast. However, in the morning there were NO pancakes, no eggs, NOTHING for breakfast, except some coffee, a bit of milk (not enough for everybody), bread, jam with MOULD, cereals (they tasted OLD and STALE) and a cake (no, it was definately NOT homemade!). I asked what happened to pancakes and eggs and tried to get my money back, but the lady there spoke only Portugese. I managed to understand, that there were no pancakes. I tried to speak with her in Spanish and French, but she only loughed at my face. I didn't get my money and tried to eat something, but it was disgusting. Afterwards we and a couple of other tourists went to the supermarket to have a proper breakfast.
Wonderful balance between the amenities and comfort of a hotel and friendliness and possibilities to chat with interesting people of a hostel! Impecably clean, wonderfully located, free parking could be found on the same street a bit further. Very nice room. Super comfortable beds. It could be a really good hostel, if they didn't cheat and deceive tourists, and don't lough in their face. DON'T BUY BREAKFAST!

United KingdomThe only things I can think of would be to repair the hole in the ceiling of the bathroom, and to provide a towel rail or somewhere in the room to hang up towels after use.
I was given a nice welcome by the staff, everything was explained including how to get in and out of the building after hours. The room was as expected, a little small but fine for 1-2 people travelling together. The bathroom was shared, as expected, but I never had to wait to use it. I didn't spend much time within the hostel but everything was fine, and I had a nice quiet night as other guests were respectful and there was no street noise. I appreciated having an electric fan in the room.

United StatesThis property was and still is listed as a breakfast included hostel. We were there for 7 days and there was no breakfast available, "sorry for the inconvenience" was posted in the kitchen. So we spent probably and extra 30-40 euros on breakfast. Feel like we should be re-imbursed that much. One of the 2 - 1st floor showers was out of order. There were no instructions on how to use the TV or washing machine. Kitchen is really small and poorly laid out. Impossible for more than 1 person to be cooking at a time.
Hostel was clean. WIFI was good. Staff was friendly.

ItalySometimes after they clean all the hostel, it appears a strange smell of old tubes in the hall, but it disappears after a while
Location is simply perfect. It is 1 minute by the old city center, 6-10 minutes by the university, 10 minutes by the castle. Everything was super clean and forniture is modern and beautiful. We haven't actually tried the breakfast (you can book it the evening before), but seeing the others it is a reach breakfast for low price. I worked remotely from the hostel and passed almost all the day there, and I really felt at home
