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...).

FranceOne guest leaving tones of hair in the communal bathroom/ no respect for the cleaning ladies
I unexpectedly really enjoyed my stay. The place is clean, cool, zen. I also really enjoyed chatting for hours with the receptionist on the balcony (médecine student, he will recognise himself).. I won’t hesitate to go back if I ever travel through Heraklion again. Little plus : a nice little non touristic restaurant up the road

New ZealandShower cubicles very small...requiring exit to reclothe after use...with compromise to personal privacy in shared female bathroom. Difficult to avoid water from shower spraying on to bathroom floor...making a slip hazard. A bench for clothing and bath mats and floor mop would be helpful.
Excellent cleaning service. Pleasant design for kitchen and social dining area.

United States of AmericaThe laundry machine instructions are not clear and when you asked the staff about a dryer they tell you that the laundry machine includes a dryer, but that is not accurate. The clothes come out damp and you have to figure out where to hang them to dry.
This hostel is very modern, it is perfectly located in the downtown area near to a well known park. The rooms have their own shower and toilets. There are also additional showers and toilets in the hallways. The kitchen is huge and have space for two people to cook at the same time. It also has a large dinning table and a nice view from the top. There is an elevator and it takes you to the 7th floor where there is a bar. There are laundry machines, but no dryer. The bunk beds have courtains for privacy and they provide sheets and towels.

Czech RepublicThat i only stayed 1 night. Would have loved to stay longer if it wasn't for the ferry timetable.
First of all i loved the welcoming and friendly atmosphere. I was encouraged to use the kitchen and cook a proper meal (I only ever boil water in hostels), which i was then able to share. My usual hostel communication consists of muttering 'Hi' or 'Monin', the top being 'Where are you from?' Here i was immediately engulfed in conversations and later spent a magical night talking, singing and a general internationa and intergenerational fun night. It might have been a random mix of random people, but I felt a strong genius loci. Cleanliness, practicality, location and value for money-absolute top number 1!

SwedenEven though the facilities were immaculately clean, there were small flies everywhere. It was very strange. Also, it would have nice if the shower rooms had a private space with a curtain (perhaps the corner alcove) where one could change clothing; otherwise, one is changing in a very open space and at the risk of someone walking in. The toilet rooms and the showers themselves are too small to change clothing in.
Chill vibe and friendly staff. Very spacious and light room (6-bed women’s dormitory), as well as a lovely patio space on top of the building. Also, there was a nice little balcony with a table and chairs just outside the women’s dormitory that was great place to relax and unwind.

United States of AmericaShower heads in ladies' bathroom are all broken. The kitchen was often dirty from guests not cleaning up and had to wash all dishes before using them, I wouldn't have cooked here. The fridge could use a good cleaning.
Truly my favorite hostel I've stayed in, which was largely because of the volunteers and other guests. But the facilities and location were good, bed was comfortable, etc. There were only two of us in the four person dorm but I imagine it may have been a bit tight if all beds were filled. It's the kind of locker where you need a lock but I didn't have one so the hostel lent me one. Nice seating area on roof.

GermanyVery friendly staff, happy to help with any questions, give very good tips for the city, order taxis, etc. You can get towels free of charge upon request. Great place to meet people, you can meet on the cozy roof terrace or in the well-equipped kitchen, everything is nice and newly renovated in a stylish old townhouse. New mattresses. Good WiFi. Pretty clean for a hostel. Very easy to reach from the airport by city bus, just a three-minute walk from the stop: If you're coming from the airport, don't get off at the central square or bus station, but at the Agios Minas Cathedral. Very quiet location, but just a few minutes walk to the town center with many taverns, bars and shops.
