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...).

IndiaThe property is super cute, cozy with each and every facility available . They have made nice comfy place to sit around in kitchen where all travellers can chit chat and make friends. Hostel is very clean and location is just perfect next to metro bus stop. Staff is very friendly and supportive. Lot of small cafes and resturants available in neighborhood with all type of cuisines. Overall had unforgivable and mesmerizing experience- home away from home.

I really liked the location, the atmosphere brought by the staff there. I’ve been welcomed by Nick, an adorable guy who helped me with my bags and recommended me a lot of places to visit in D.C. I also really loved to talk with him and Finn, another super staff member from New Zealand.

GermanyThe water pressure in the shower was weak in my opinion.
The cleanliness of the hostel room was superb! My bed was bottom one, and lockor was enough to put 23 inch luggage. Also, free laundry was possible and I've never seen a clothes dryer in the hostel. It was nice service. When I enter the hostel, Nick welcomed me in front of the reception. He was kind and gentle, we talked about our common things. If you meet him in front of the desk, he'll greet you warmly!

United StatesThere is loud music on Friday and Saturday night from all the surrounding bars but I didn't care. I came to have fun so not getting much sleep wasn't an issue.
This was my first time staying in a hostel and was a little concerned before getting there. From the moment I got inside the location and have been welcomed with a smile by the check in staff, all my concerns went away. The location is not only very pretty, clean and friendly but the common living room is spacious and offers all the amenities one would need on a short stay. The opportunity of making friends was great especially for someone traveling along as myself. Not only did I have a great stay but friended a few good people who stayed at the same location. I will definitely return.

This was honestly one of the cleanest hostels I’ve ever stayed in within the U.S.! The place is spotless, and they offer so many perks like free coffee, tea, laundry, body wash, and even shaving cream. My stay was incredible. Valentina and Tyre were extremely kind and went above and beyond to answer the dozens of questions I had about the area and other topics. It’s worth the price and the experience. Why not give it a try? I’m sure you’ll love it!
