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...).

United KingdomIt was a bit of a hike from the ferry terminal up a steep hill but so so worth it for the view.
When I got off the ferry I was met by someone from the hostel to help carry my bag which was really appreciated as its a bit of a hike up a hill. The staff are so friendly and I was met with a lovely bottle of chilled water when I 1st arrived before being shown my bunk bed in a 12 bedroom dorm. My bed had black out curtains and a plug point for charging stuff as well as a small locker for your valuables but you will need to bring a padlock.

BrazilIf you prefer to stay a bit away from the hustle and bustle and enjoy the best view of the island, don’t hesitate to stay at The View Hostel. But be ready to climb a few steps to get to paradise. The owners and the whole staff are really friendly, and they offer bread, fruits, butter, and jam all day long. Not to mention mosquito repellent, sunscreen, and much more. To add, they change your bed sheet and tower every day! I highly recommend it and hope to come back soon!

United KingdomThe mattress was a little hard but not awful. Sadly the noise from the trashy Ibiza bar on the beach does travel, so you can hear the constant thumping of the bass, but there’s nothing they can do to prevent this. With earplugs it’s okay.
The view (shock) was amazing. Worth the little hike up! Staff are super friendly and attentive. They hung up my clothes and washed the sand off my shoes without me asking! And they always say goodbye when you leave for the day - very sweet. It was clean and showers were good. AC in the rooms is also really powerful. I wanted a chilled hostel and it delivered.

IrelandYou can hear the music from town but if you are a light sleeper and want to be in bed early, bring earplugs.
Beautiful hostel with absolutely fantastic staff. The hostel is kept brilliantly clean. There are snacks and drinks available, (some free, some to purchase) as well as towels, snorkels etc to borrow. There is a book swap shelf. It is really easy to meet people here as a solo traveller. The hostel cat is really cute! The hill up to the hostel is worth it for the view. The bed has a good curtain but is quite hard.

RomaniaBed was not that comfortable. Hostel is located on a cliff and there is a steep part to climb, which can be a bit challenging with the backpack. Noise from the parties on the beach could still reach the hostel but with earplugs is not that bad. Staff doesnt really speak english and sometimes was hard to communicate.
The view is amazing. Rooms are quite big, 2 full bathrooms (toilet and shower) inside the room. Complementary coffee/tea and biscuits. Extremely clean.

SlovakiaNo window, doors are into corridor which is widely open, so you have access to fresh air, but no window
It's very clean hostel. There is some food, coffee and tea available all day. You can also borrow or use some small stuff like waterproof bag, umbrella, lotion ...It is situated little bit far from center, but because there are very noisy nights in the center, you can have quite sleep in this place. Also it was not overcrowded, and people were split into 3 rooms.

United KingdomOnly 2 bathrooms for 10 ppl I don't think are enough. A bit noisy from the parties at the beach. Make sure you bring your earplugs with you.
If you like waking up with a stunning view from the balcony and rooms this is the place to go for. Rooms are spacious and clean. They give you a shower towel and a little breakfast is included but if you want a proper cappuccino you might wait until going down to town. And very important...water as soon as they welcome you cause there is a little bit of steep hill to walk to get to the hostel. Not all the beds have windows. You can be lucky or you could try asking for it if free.

UkraineIt's nice, staff takes care of everything, they dry your wet clothes and make up your bed in the morning and keep the place very clean, it's quiet in the room even though it can be loud in the evening outside since there's beach party happening. It's close and walking distance from the pier and the pick up that they mention is a local guy coming to carry your bag while you walk behind him 😅 if you are okay with carrying your bag, no need for pick up. It's included in the price. There's no mototaxis or tuk tuks, so you walk. Oh, and they offer you Oreo. It's also included in the price.

United KingdomNothing at all. The only thing that might be inconvenient to some people is that it’s about a 15min walk from the main restaurant and bar area. This wasn’t an issue for us we didn’t mind.
This was our first hostel stay ever and we were very happy with it. The staff are amazing so so helpful and friendly. The whole place is always clean and the beds were clean and comfy. The view from the reception is amazing and so worth the walk.

IndiaThis hostel truly lives up to its name—The View! The views are stunning, making it a memorable stay. The beds were super comfy, and the rooms were spacious and spotlessly clean. The staff were incredibly sweet and kind, always ready to help. The hostel has a well-stocked pantry with coffee, tea, cup noodles, bread, and jams, which was a lovely touch. They also provide fresh towels daily, and you can even borrow dry bags and snorkeling gear, which is perfect for exploring Phi Phi's beautiful surroundings. Overall, an amazing place to stay with thoughtful amenities and a welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend!

AustraliaThe lockers are quite small, so if you're a backpacker you need to leave your backpack on the floor. I think it would be a great improvement to have bigger lockers in the bedroom or maybe something like a under bed storage locker:)
The location is amazing! You can sit outside having breakfast or chatting with the other guests enjoying the view. My bed was really comfy and the blanket soooo soft! The staff is lovely, everyone is ready to help you there!
