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...).

GermanyWe just felt at home! There are many shared spaces - not only the kitchen and big eating area but also a room where you can work, a TV room, two terraces and a chill out room. We played billard (Very new, but small table). The staff is so great and helpful! The hostel is brand new and they still improve. The location is perfectly quiet and close to many restaurants.

IrelandFamily run hostel in a quiet part of town. Equally so close (short walk (7 mins) distance to central plaza. Safe neighbourhood and family went above and beyond, even dropping us to the bus station. I found it very cold (and wasn’t prepared coming from much hotter climates in Mexico) but there were extra blankets. Communal kitchen and free drinking water available.

This hostel is incredible. It’s beautiful, clean, quiet and comfortable. The kitchen is amazing, there are sofas to relax on and watch TV, a room to work in and plenty of space to hang out and socialise. The father and son who run it are so friendly and nice. I was upgraded to a private room and it was extremely comfortable and nice. There is hot water all day and the bathroom is very clean. It feels more like a hotel than a hostal. And the location is great too, close to the centre and nice and quiet. Simply the best hostal I’ve ever stayed in

United KingdomI was hoping to meet other travellers at the hostel but it was so new there weren't any other people around. The kitchen could have been a bit cleaner.
Very nice and new hostel, the owners are very kind and helpful. They helped me to organise the cab to and from the hostel. I was very lucky to get my room upgraded and they offered me coffee in the mornings. The bed was comfortable and the shower had hot water and there was good internet connection. When I got sick with food poisoning the owner was very helpful and offered me herbal tea. It's a great place for those who like privacy and wish to avoid the crowds.

United KingdomOur issue was the other guests. The rooms all open on to a central courtyard. During our stay there were 2 men living there permanently, one played music from his phone from 7 am in the morning while he had breakfast. This happened on both mornings which woke us up (it’s meant to be a quiet area until 10 am). They both smoke in the courtyard, so it often all smells of smoke and worse of all - they both spend the whole day coughing and spitting. They spit on the floors, in the kitchen sinks and the sound of them spitting is really really horrible. It’s such a great hostel but ruined by these two men.
Excellent staff and owner is really nice. Really comfortable bed, well stocked kitchen and great shared bathroom facilities. Also has great breakout spaces with a pool table, seating areas and work areas.
