How guest reviews work
Each 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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

Verified reviewComfortable beds
The host rushed us through all processes and talked so quickly it was a nightmare trying to keep up. We were charged double the expected rate that was on booking and were told “don’t worry it’s worth it wait until you see the bathroom” incredibly unimpressed. No kitchen facilities and the rooms feel like they’re in a dungeon. Will not be staying here again.

Verified reviewStaff are nice. The bar is fun with cheap food. The rooms have AC
The bathrooms were pretty nasty. One toilet is broken and another wont flush. No warm water in the shower. The room was super crammed with no lockers.

Verified review2 bathrooms for the whole hostel which was in very bad conditions and not clean. Rooms were basically all connected to each other and if you were in the first room everyone had to go through your room to reach theirs. Beds look like if they were not cleaned.

Verified reviewThe staff were amazing, so kind, fun, and friendly. I loved the bar, the prices were fair, the food was really good, and the music at the bar was excellent! My bed was also comfortable. I would like to give a special thank you to Ricezo, such a wonderful person with a unique energy, it was truly the best “welcome” I’ve ever received anywhere!

Verified reviewThe people I met were so chatty that I didn’t have time to evaluate the room. I shared experiences with people from Italy, the US, Turkey, Ukraine, and Germany. The staff were really nice, too.
The hostel was very difficult to find as it doesn’t face the street. The city is designed in such a way that each block has a central 'courtyard' or 'lung' where residents access their homes. The outer sides of the blocks are lined with shops. A man I met on the street kindly helped me find the hostel.

Verified reviewThe bar and restaurant was great and cheap! The staff were super friendly and nice especially the older woman who checked us in at 2am. She did consistently call me bella and kiss me on the cheek! The staff were just friendly in general and it was a great authentic hostel stay especially for the price. Also some great air conditioning.
The facilities were a bit run down, the system was a bit messy. The lockers are outside in the hallway (that is if you are given a locker) and it is true what they say, no toilet paper. And it is very 50/50 on if your neighbor will be loud to interrupt your sleep. But still a good place for the price.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! 😊 We’re really happy you enjoyed our bar and restaurant, the affordable prices, and especially the warm welcome from our staff. The lovely lady who checked you in at 2 AM is a cherished part of our team, and we’ll be sure to pass along your kind words! We’re sorry to hear about some of the issues you experienced, such as the toilet paper and the locker situation. Just to clarify — we do provide toilet paper, but for practical and hygiene reasons, it’s available at the reception. We’re always here to help with anything guests may need, and we’ll make this more clear going forward. As for the lockers and occasional noise from neighbors — we’re aware, and we’re working on improving the organization and setting clearer quiet hours for everyone’s comfort. We’re really glad that despite some downsides, you still consider us a great value — and we truly hope to welcome you back again in the future!

Verified reviewLocation is great, all in all the design, outside patio is really cool, the staff is kind. There's stores and restaurants very close to it. The rooms have AC. Overall I think it's good for the price, it's really the cheapest option out there.
There was no warm water in the showers and they were generally not so clean, and we didn't receive bedsheets. There were no charging sockets near the bed or in the room at all, so it's not possible to charge overnight.However this was still acceptable for the price, great for a night or two.
Thank you so much for sharing your feedback and for choosing to stay at Chilli Hostel. We’re really glad to hear that you enjoyed the location, the outdoor area, and our staff – we always strive to create a friendly and relaxing atmosphere for all our guests. We’re sorry for any inconvenience you experienced during your stay. We understand how important it is to have power outlets near the bed, and we’ll be looking into solutions to improve this as soon as possible. We truly appreciate your understanding and honest feedback — it helps us improve our service. It would be a pleasure to welcome you back in the future! With respect, Chilli Hostel
