Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1–10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate "subscores" in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 States of AmericaI would prefer lockers to keep things. And coin laundry available. Bunk beds are a little wobbly and creaky.
Incredible location near Ben Nevis. Bed was comfortable. Breakfast was very nice for a great price: toast, cereals, fruit, yogurt, juice. Staff was no nonsense and efficient. Lounge was very cozy.

GermanyVentilation in the room sucked, we weren't allowed to fully open the window, so had just an inch of space for the air to come through. Additionally, in the kitchen it was difficult to find some of the more popular utensils, perhaps restocking it a bit could help (and is a cheap solution anyways).
It is a hostel, so you are to expect it to be a hostel. The common areas are nice, seems like some people stay there more than just one night. You can find anything you need there, get some drinks at the reception and use the kitchen and laundry rooms. Really great for hikers. The stuff was very friendly and helpful too. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at this hostel!

Amazing place for nature lovers! Close to the city but still in the middle of nature, close to all the best hiking trails around Ben Nevis. Very modern, well designed building. Everything was clean. Helpful and lovely staff. Good kitchen. Also good washing machine for clothes, for extra pay.

United KingdomWell I know Youth Hostels traditionally have bunk beds and it wasn't a problem in itself for us, however it wasn't mentioned on booking.com that our twin room would be bunks - and in our particular room it was hard to see why the YHA had done that as there would have been plenty of space for twin beds....
Absolutely fantastic location right at the start of the walk up to Ben Nevis - and right by the bus stop to Fort William. Friendly helpful staff. Nice cosy communal areas. Spacious, well equipped and clean kitchen. Good hot showers

United KingdomI booked two rooms for six people with eight beds in total. One person dropped out leaving us with three beds spare. My husband arrived in our VW campervan at the last minute with our two spaniels and when asked if he and the dogs could stop in one of the rooms, one staff said no due to it not being on the ground floor and another member of staff said they could not refuse the dogs to stay. It should be clearer if dogs are allowed or not. This is my only niggle , everything else was absolutely perfect. Thanks for an unforgettable weekend.
Clean, comfortable within walking distance of Ben Nevis.

FinlandI think everything was okay, so nothing to add here.
Location was excellent as I wanted to do hiking and climb to Ben Nevis. Which I did :) Very good experience. The place was also easy to find. Because arrived on Sunday, I didn't find any bus to get there so walked. Room and also common space were nice. Also lots of space in the fridge to keep food there.
