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 StatesThe rooms were kept clean, the bathrooms were clean and functional, and the place had a water purifier to reduce plastic waste. The only complaint is that when I would sit on the first floor many people smoke right in the cafe/lobby. There are cheaper places, but if you want a nicer experience, it may be worth it.

United StatesBecause it is located next to a market, it can be loud in the mornings, around 5:30 am. This isn't the hostel's fault, simply a note. The bathrooms outside of the bedroom (on each floor) could have more attention.
Great staff–so friendly and helpful. The location is very good, near the tourist center. It is affordable. The common area is like a cafe. Good internet. Storage lockers are conveniently located in the room, with an area for shoe storage also. A fridge to store your food. Beer for sale.

NetherlandsThe bathroom in the female dorm was dirty, and I encountered a large cockroach. The shower hose was broken, adding to the inconvenience. The bed curtains in the female dorm were too short, allowing light to filter in whenever other guests left the lights on. The hostel lacks soundproofing, so all indoor and outdoor noises are easily heard. A large market in front of the hostel generates a lot of noise, making it unsuitable for light sleepers—something you might have noticed when checking the location beforehand. Additionally, there is no elevator, and the narrow stairs make it challenging to navigate with large suitcases.
Considering the low price, you can't expect much. However, for a one-night stay, it was a good experience, though I wouldn't stay longer. The female dorm was clean, and the bed was comfortable. The staff were friendly and accommodating, especially when I arrived at midnight due to a delayed flight. They thoughtfully asked if I preferred a lower or upper bunk. The location was excellent, conveniently close to the main bus station with direct bus access to the airport. The WiFi connection was excellent.

Czech RepublicI booked a 6 bed room but got an 8 bed one. The room was still nice, but quite noisy - too close to the bar street and the thin windows don't prevent any noise at all. I heard the beats from the disco at night. I was in a female dorm and in the morning found out, that some man was sleeping there - he came late at night, apparently he knew some vietnamese lady in my room, who opened the door for him. This should never happen. The same lady was also hiding the remotes from the AC, staff did nothing about that. Not too social for travellers, many vietnamese staying there, probably because of the price. Generally I felt strange there, and next time I invested more money to stay in a different place.
Friendly staff, good location, clean room, nice café downstairs. If you are on strict budget, it could be an option.

United Statesthe place looks like it’s been open for 2 years, not 2 months. when I arrived I was put in a room on the first floor that looked very worn, the bathroom was gross and a guy in my room was very sick with a cough (so of course I got sick too). bring earplugs because the music from the bar street can be heard until around 4am
nice staff, fast internet, close to lots of cafes, I asked to move to a different room after being put in a room with only men and the front desk person was super accommodating. the rooms upstairs are in much better condition and cleaner than the rooms downstairs.

United StatesThe curtain of the upper bunk is a bit short, missing it's goal to provide full privacy. They should communicate better the no shoe policy. Although they provide free candles some guests step into the room with their shoes. It gets dirty when they go further onto the wet floor of the bathroom. No filtered water.
Comfy beds with privacy curtains. Free towels. Clean spacious bathroom. Ac.

pro: staff friedly though in middle of city center (dont know if that should be considered as a pro thing at all, I would reccomend to avoid district 1 and go somewhere else, if your not planing to hang out in Bui Vien everyday...) price ?!

KazakhstanWhat made me sad: 1. Hostel doesn’t have kitchen for travelers where we could cook own food or even electric kettle to make own tea. 2. Bathroom door in my 8-bed mixed dorm room was so creaky and noisy each time when somebody opened it during day or night time. 3. Some men travelers sprayed entire bottle of their perfume on their bodies each time before going out. I had headache because of that perfume smell in the hot air. I don’t understand why people use perfume in a hot and humid tropical country. 4. A man in my 6-bed dorm room used toilet but never flushed it. It was uncomfortable to go to the bathroom when “nature called” and see somebody’s piss or poop in the toilet.
Saigon Style Hostel & Café is a great and safe place to stay. Hostel is located centrally. Park, bus station, supermarkets, ATM, pharmacy, cafes, restaurants, market, massage salons, strip bars and Bui Vien party street was near the hostel, within 1-5 minutes of walking distance. It was very comfortable that there is a noisy fruit and food market in front of the hostel. My 8-bed mixed dorm room was very clean, with bathroom and toilet. Clean bed with towel has been provided. Cleaning lady was cleaning the room every day and replacing used towel with clean and fresh one. There is a big locker in the room. Internet connection was on/off first days, but then stable rest of my stay. Hostel team informed me about some repairing works and asked to move to other 6-bed dorm room after couple of days of staying in 8-bed mixed dorm room. Bathroom design of the 6 bed dorm room was unusual: Bathroom door can’t be opened fully as it hits a sink. Toilet paper holder was installed weirdly. ;0))) But everything was okay and possible to use. Warning: There are a lot of stairs in the hostel. No lift/elevator. It will not be easy for travelers with huge bags or suitcase to walk up/down. Overall, everything was perfect. Hostel team was a great joy and asset. Thank you very much.
