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...).

IraqNothing to mention
The location is pretty good, close from everywhere, in a nice and good neighborhood. The staff are so friendly and outgoing, especially the manger “Leah Nichole” Housekeeping and hygiene are the best I have ever seen in any hostel, they keep tracking on the food safety in the fridges and counters.

United States of AmericaThis was my first stay in a traditional hostel in years, and curses, the light when dorm mates enter and exit the room is disturbing. The few hostels I have stayed at in recent years have made the bunks more cocoon-like, allowing one to block light out more easily. I would gladly have paid more to contribute to the fixed investment necessary for the hostel to modernize its beds with curtains/plywood.
The location was convenient. The staff were all lovely. There are both indoor and outdoor common areas. The mattress and bedding material was comfortable. The number of occupants per dorm was not excessive.

New ZealandI had a heavy bag to carry up all the stairs but I was offered twice for help and declined so that was really just my pride lmao.
Amazing service! let me keep my bags there early, but bedroom was ready early anyway! I had a single room and it was on the top floor so I had cute views of the leafy trees and street. the single room was enough for me, it was very big, had a sink, towels, coat hangers, a wee table chairs and a nice window that opened wide and the heater kept the room toasty! The kitchen downstairs had tea and coffee and the fridges were tidy. bathroom was very clean and all the toiletries people had left behind came in handy. a great hostel!

ItalyThe beds are really old, squeaky and uncomfortable. Not too much space in lockers, or shelves.
I really appreciated the spirit of the hostel, the staff is really fun and always coming up with events, nights out, and games to bring guests together. The rooms are clean and the shares bathrooms and showers are too.
