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.).

ItalyNo air conditioning in the room (can be tricky in July and August) but overall not a huge problem, even though temperatures during the day were very high, in the room the ambience was decent if windows were kept open to allow air to circulate (especially at night). The main issue for me was with the length of the bed, if you are over 180cm it can be a little short depending on how you position yourself during the sleep..
Great place, beautiful terrace with view on the river and the park, wifi working perfectly, nice and well equipped kitchen, very nice and kind staff, everything was kept clean.

PolandI really like this place! Firstly, it is well located and very close to the city centre. Secondly, it has everything: a washing machine and a dryer, a kitchen, dishes, a toilet and a shower in each room, a beautiful terrace overlooking the river; thirdly, a very nice woman at the reception who will tell you everything and show you everything; I really liked everything here: the price, the cleanliness, the amenities, and the availability of everything you need. There is also a bar and restaurants very close by, so you can have breakfast here too. Overall, thank you very much for this place and I wholeheartedly recommend this place and wish everyone to stay here!

PolandEven though I stayed there while the temperatures weren't too high (in May), the room was very stuffy and humid. Most likely due to the river and the fact that there were four people sleeping in a small room.
The location is lovely, also the lady at the front desk was very nice.

United StatesThis is Budapest, and it is a hostel, so there were people coming back to the room very late at night and making a lot of noise. As with any hostel, having a sleep mask and earplugs are important!
Very cool location, having the terrace there was wonderful, so nice to walk around the island. Staff were friendly and helpful and allowed me to leave my bags for a couple hours after checkout, which was much appreciated. Also nice to have the kitchen available!

Edith was absolutely amazing. Assisted me in each question I had, provided such a great service and made me feel very comfortable. She provided me with recommendations on where to go and how to get there, places to see, restaurants and bars to visit. Couldn't recommend her enough. In terms of the room, it was lovely. Fairly comfortable beds, I had good roommates and lockers were provided for our belongings. I would 100% recommend this hostel especially as its right in the middle of both buda and pest sides.

The hostel was absolutely lovely, stunning views, excellent facilities and the staff are all super helpful and friendly especially the manager who made me feel at home from day one and was very easy to chat to and gave me anything i needed to make my stay great. The rooms were very nice, all very very clean and comfortable and the private terrace just made the place very special because even on the days i was not our sightseeing it was still like a little bit of paradise The island is full of things to entertain and the pub which is attached to the hostel had the BEST burgers ive had in years i couldn't stay away Id definitely go back and would recommend to anybody thinking of traveling to Budapest

IrelandThe staff was nice in general, the girl let me stay over the time to dry my hair but at some point when I was in the common area she announced me at 11.30 that I need to leave the premises in a very firm manner. I know she was respecting the rules but I was taken by surprise at this was the first hostel in a month travel where I couldn t hang out not even on the terrace after checkin out from the room. I was happy that they let me keep the luggage tho.
Hostel was nice and cozy with a super generous terrace.

United KingdomThere's a party place next door so the music at night was a bit loud in the room where I stayed, however, the hostel acknowledges that issue and has earplugs available for purchase. The lockers under the bed are a great solution for space saving, however they're a bit noisy if someone is trying to sleep next to it. There's no option to open them partially, they have to be completely pulled from under the bunk bed to be able to open the storage/locker.
I loved the location and the view from the balcony, quirky little space and will definitely be back! Staff is kind and welcoming, space has many hand-painted details and I loved staying here. People I've met are also really nice and feels like the hostel has a lot of character and a soul to it. Many options to chill in either a chair, hammock, sofa, love the outdoor lights in the balcony and the fact that there are fans on the room ceiling if it's getting too hot. There's a sweet little orange cat whom I could briefly pet during my stay which was a bonus for sure!
