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...).

TaiwanThe only thing would like to remind is maybe it’ll be very hot in summer as there’s no air conditioners in the room.
Excellent location and super friendly staffs, including the volunteer girl. The hostel provides very detailed tourist advice and most of tourist spots with train/bus timetable, so I spent a splendid week at Lecce even I travel alone. The room is spacious and the bed is quite comfortable.

United States of AmericaI don't think I knew I'd be sleeping on a twin bed. Maybe more help with suggestions on activities, day trips, hooking up guests with unique stuff to do. Heads up that it's a major holiday in town and stuff will be closed!
This hostel was SUPER clean and really cheery with lots of different areas to discover, and a lovely outdoor part. It's very close to the old town and also the train station, although if you have large/heavy luggage, it'll be a bit of a struggle to walk (it's about 13 minutes) and the taxi charged me 15 Euros, which was 5 Euros more than I was quoted at reception. That was a shock. And it's literally a 3 minute ride. Aside from that, my private room was super cute (twin bed was a change for me though), it was sunny, had a little terrace, good bathroom, closet, etc. The kitchen had a mocha to make coffee on the stove and they had free coffee you could use. It was just a slow time in Lecce with few trains, buses, activities, etc. That was a bummer. I bet it's different in the high season.

SpainThe staff was unfriendly and that didn't feel good at all. For instance, there was one train cancelled when I was in a very small town far from Lecce and instead of helping to find a solution for the check in (it finishes at 8 pm) the answer was sending me the train's schedules saying I had many options. I had to ask to the train worker to send them an audio in order to get a solution for my non expected late arrival. Besides that, they told me even doing the self-check in I had to be there at 9 pm which was not true at and made me rush between delayed trains when there was no need at all.
The hostel has all the facilities, nice common spaces and the 3 people room was perfectly ok. The garden is a nice area and the cats are an extra plus.

SerbiaI can't think of anything really apart from mosquitos which no one can do anything about. However, the hostel had a decent amount of repellents available for use.
The location is close to the train station and old town. My room was really nice and clean plus the toilets were roomy and clean. The building itself is very interesting and it has a relaxing and nice garden. The staff puts a lot of effort into informing guests of all interesting events and tours, as well useful service information. The whole vibe of the hostel is super relaxing. I feel I could stay here forever😀

AustraliaThe beds weren’t the most comfy, but not the worst I’ve had either. Would be nice with air conditioning especially in the summer, but we managed
The facilities were perfect, a lot of shared common space that felt comfortable and clean. Only had 4 beds per room even though they could of easily fit more but it made the space feel so much more open and nice. Soo many helpful recommendations and resources for getting around puligia, which was so convenient. Staff were also lovely!

United States of AmericaUrban Oasis is an outstanding property in Lecce; location is perfect and there is tons of tourist information available everywhere throughout the shared spaces. Solare was particularly helpful and personable; she really went out of her way to recommend things to me based on my interests (nightlife, restaurants, tourist sites and museums, etc.) She also helped me book a boat tour for a time after I was leaving the hostel. I felt safe and the accommodations were terrific. I highly recommend staying here - my room was enormous and clean in addition to all of the perks Urban Oasis offers. (I didn't love the shower curtain...)

CanadaThe wifi tends to cut off in the rooms, but seemed to always work well in the common areas. There is no AC in the rooms so sometimes it can get a bit too hot, but usually with the ventilators on each bed it’s fine to sleep.
Everything is amazing, best hostel I’ve stayed at. People are also incredible, beds are very comfy, staff is amazing, always willing to help and super kind. Garden is gorgeous, kitchen very well equipped, bathrooms and rooms super clean, nice common rooms. Very well located. I extended my stay because the quality-price was amazing.
