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):
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.
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.).

United StatesWould be nice if curtains covered entire bed, but still had no issues sleeping. I also saw some small ants, but again they were not a big problem!
The staff was super friendly and welcoming! They host and invited us to join events and help coordinate dinner/meet ups! The bed was comfortable, and I appreciated all the facilities (water station, extra sink/mirror, hang out space, etc.) Overall it was a great stay!

NetherlandsApparently it was low season so not so many people there and despite the great (hot) rooftop, there isn't really a communal space to easily meet others. I was in a private room though, so maybe it is different in the dorms. The host did also really make an effort in introducing people and making evrybody feel welcome
the host is very friendly and helpfull! eventhough i messed up my booking, she arranged an extra night last minute.

AustraliaThe hostel is a little difficult to find but Patricia provides instructions through WhatsApp for access.
The all female dorm felt safe, secure and clean. The decor was unique and interesting, and the rooftop was a nice place to relax. Patricia is great with communication, and quick to respond to enquires during your travels.

United KingdomHad a top bunk which was uncomfortable as they are very high up.
A really unique hostel; in an apartment complex that spans around 2-3 floors. Incredible location with each of the bedrooms decorated in their own unique way; even the bathroom and common rooms. The social room is a studio with lots of arcade machines, vinyls, books, comics, darts with live music also being played on some days; I sadly missed this! Close to markets and an array of cafes and restaurants of all sorts of cuisines.

TaiwanIt is so authentic, comfortable and very cozy! They have all amenities that you need (I was so shocked they have dyson as a dryer). Also, the location is very good! I liked my stay and I’d love to stay here again. The staff is amazing. My flight got delayed and I arrived really late, I was so worried that I couldn’t check in, but everything went smoothly. The kind lady helped me out via Whatsapp. Also, they have a great kitchen and rooftop is amazing! The pictures can’t justify how good it is. Just believe me! Recommend it.

United StatesI chose a top bunk which I didn't mind having to climb, but it was difficult climbing down. As long as you choose a bottom bunk you'll be fine. Wish there were more space in the bathroom to put your clothes/items while showering.
Rooms and beds were comfortable and clean. Didn't feel cramped even though you are sharing a room with 4-5 other people. Plenty of available amenities in case you forget to bring something. Common space/patio was relaxing.

GermanyI think hard, but nothing comes to my mind.
Wontonmeen is maybe best hostel experience I've ever had. A magical place from which doors keep opening into another chamber of wonders of the building - and Hong Kong. It’s an adventurous place. Suddenly one floor down you discover another lounge and kitchen and gaming tables and screens, books and exciting art and then down another flight of stairs a place where live music is played sometimes and movies (can) be shown. The owner, Patricia, spontaneously invites you to go on little hikes in the morning via the WhatsApp group, she takes you to hidden places you would never discover on your own. Patricia is an interior designer and the mixed bedroom is very special, with clever gadgets and details. Each guest can create their own private bunk in the structure, with covers, brackets, lamp, you have cables and charging boxes. You can have earplugs, but in my case there was no need for them, everyone of the others was very respectful. It’s a very social place, but not meant as a party hostel. The elevator takes you up to the roof terrace from where you have a fantastic view of Kowloon. On the road a 7/11 about 200 meters away, a lively area with stores and restaurants. The nearest metro station is about 10 minutes away, buses go up and down the street in front of the hostel.

United StatesKinda pricey, this is mostly because Hong Kong is so expensive, so value for money is not great anywhere.
Staff was great and would include people in nightly activities, going to the rooftop or out together. Location is also in a ‘nice’ local part of Hong Kong. I would stay here again!

United States-I arrived a bit early so my entire check in process was through whatsapp, and I felt like I didn't have all the information regarding amenities, what common spaces we could use etc. That being said, the host was super responsive and helpful if I ever had any questions. -As the other reviews say, it is a bit hard to find even if you are navigating there with Google maps. The host should send you a video explaining how to find it so be smarter than me and watch it before arriving!
-The dorm room was very comfortable and quiet despite being on a busy road. The bed had adequate privacy and ample, lockable storage to put my large backpack. Room was regularly cleaned. -There was a whatsapp group with other members of the hostel which made it really easy to connect with other guests -The location is great - walkable to all the Kowloon night markets and ~10 min walk to the nearest metro station which will take you anywhere in the city; Grocery store/convenience store across the street

Iceland- for this price towels should be provided - very unclear instructions for self check in. There is no big logo of the hostel on the entrance to the building (it only says “hostel”). The instructions should include pictures how to get inside, where to put codes and where to leave luggage before check in - the bathroom in the dorm room does not have a lock, so you just need to hope that nobody is going to enter when you are inside
- hot water in the shower - shampoo, shower gel and body lotion provided - comfortable bed with a lot of privacy - plugs and light by bed - rooftop - big lockers - very good and quiet hair dryer - very social hostel and helpful staff
