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...).

Malaysia1. The air-cond only functions at 6 pm. It's so hot I cannot even stay in the room. 2. The bedsheet, pillowcase and comforter I must make myself. 3. The toilets are filthy, with clothes hanging here and there, oh god it's so disgusting. 4. There's no bin in the room. 5. The room is too small and packed for 3 double-deckers. 6. The kitchen/pantry is so dirty. 7. The only good about this place is the friendly staff. 8. Locker is not reliable. 9. It's so bad I didn't even have the brain to take any pictures I won't recommend. I was just disappointed.
Location-wise, I like it. It's located in the centre and near to the MRT. There's 7E near by so I would not get hungry every time I need snacks.

TaiwanI was really surprised about beary best hotel’s situation.I understood a lot of things changed since COVID.But as an old customer,I stayed at the same hostel every 6 months since they open.I have to say they’re totally fall down to the basement. mildew everywhere. bedroom wall,toilet wall, and the cozy living space changed to a storage place. not the same cozy hostel anymore. I felt so pity about it.

CanadaUnfortunately, the facility was not clean, esp the bathroom. The door was moldy and the area of the bathroom floor that had the toilet brush had a lot of stains on the ground and the toilet brush/ toilet brush holder and that general area near the toilet looked very dirty. One of the hosts would turn off the air con in the dorm room at 1130 am, even if ppl in the dorm were still napping or hanging out in the room, so the room would get really hot and you wouldn't feel comfortable to hang out or nap in the dorm during the day. There is no lounge area for guests to meet one another; there is only a kitchen area and that area only has 3 seats
Price was low. One of the hosts was nice and friendly. The location is very good.

Czech RepublicSignificant wear and tear of everything. Very complicated system of check-in and getting the door lock codes. No wardrobe, racks or shelves for clothes. Only some water heaters in bathrooms were working (yes, I did turn on the switch on the wall). Wi-Fi slow during morning rush hour. Unwashable stains on the sheets. Bad smell generally. I have travelled America, Asia and Europe and I am afraid this was THE VERY WORST HOSTEL I have ever stayed in.
The AC was working. Regular cleaning of bathrooms.

VietnamThe hostel have decided to rent out to some workers in order to survive the pandemic. nothing bad with that, the problem is that the workers were using those rooms are their private space, they were having their staff all around, mess everywhere, they have cigarettes' and alcohol throwed around, and I some chemicals they work with. the smell of those chemicals were that strong that I couldn't sleep the whole night. I booked it for 2 nights but I have to run away after spending some hours there.
Location was ok, close to china town, restaurants and bars

IndonesiaSorry to say but Cleanliness isn't existent. Very dirty just like never been cleaned in years. Kitchen area smells just like a pet shops. Seems like the owner doesn't care with their property
