Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1–10. 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 review scores we’ve received. We’re currently testing a weighted review system in Malta, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil, and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 like 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...).

PolandAt the reception desk there where pictures of isr@eli hostages which I think is a weird choice to put. I wish the showers had different doors cause it was quite difficult to get out of the shower and not flash everybody in the bathroom. The cardboard wall in the room didn’t block noise that much. Location is also a bit far from the old town but you can take a small boat there so it wasn’t that bad.
I really loved my stay here, especially the outdoor area. You could really connect, chat and meet people from the hostel. The kitchen space was also a plus, although I would add a bit more cutlery. The beds were quite comfortable, everyone had a small light and a socket to charge your phone. Also for every bed there was a drawer for all your baggage (you have to have your own lock). Overall I think it was great and the staff is very friendly.

United Kingdomnothing really -
the hostel is one of the most chilled places ive been to. the staff were the best special shout out to daphne - all the staff work super hard to make the stay as comfortable as possible - i would suggest to be mindful kind and respectful after the quiet time as staff sleep on site on their shift - on the whole everyone during my stay did respect the other guests who had to sleep a bit earlier than the rest of the guests. large kitchen space and frdges - no freezer but i guess with so many guests it could be difficult -I would recommend a small freezer with a note for guests that they would only be able to have a couple of items each -there were heaps of little spots to hang out and large areas to sit and mingle with other people staying at the hostel - waslking distance to the old town and other spots of interest and close to bus networks . i preferred the area of the hostel rather than being right in the old town - theres facilties such as a shop and bakery and even a place to grab things you may have forget or need like towels gifts sea shoes etc as well . felt super safe wondering around whatever time of day or night as a lone female traveller. would definately recommend staying here .oh and i would recommend a few more drying racks or even a line could enhance the drying area even more -

IrelandI found the Christian art and Bible quotes on the walls at a "backpacker hostel" a little bit strange. There was also Israeli posters of the hostages at the reception area. Nothing wrong with that, just found a bit strange as well for it to be the first thing you see as you go in for check-in. These two things made me feel rather uncomfortable and slightly unwelcome. Also not my first hand experience, but the replies from the staff to critical comments on Google are extremely immature and unprofessional; I probably wouldn't have booked this hostel if I saw them before.
Overall, it's a nice hostel, especially the outdoor areas. I actually liked the location and the fact that it was not in the old town; you can feel like a local in the neighborhood and go for a swim only 5-10 minute walk from the hostel. Not much to complain about the room or the beds either. The toilets and showers were okay for me as well.

HungaryNot very close to the city center, but not far either. This can also be a good thing, as the hostel is close to a few good beaches that are calm and quiet.
Comfortable beds, equipped kitchen, good bathroom, comfortable common areas, and lots of guests. You can easily make friends and meet new people.

GermanyThe bed wasn't komfortabel at all. It hat like a hole in the middle which always sucked me in. I guess it was really old, but I don't know how the rest of the beds were.
The personal was amazing! The social areas where more than enough to choose from. There were many free items to eat and drinks, which wasn't expected and I even enjoy from them, thanks! Klimaanlage worked, with electricity right next to the bed.

Hostel had a very nice vibe, staff were all super friendly, especially Daphne. Beds were comfy, showers and toilets were always clean. Staff did the best to keep the kitchen as clean as possible every night. Location was great, there were both a supermarket and pharmacy next door. Parking was super easy and the bus stop was near. Had a lot of freebies to take which were helpful.
