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 StatesThe beds are weak metal frames so they move & squeak A LOT. Kind of hard to get into & the hostel itself is a little difficult to get up to if you have luggage.
It’s super close to everything so you don’t need to travel far for whatever it is you need

ItalyLot of stairs to go up to the hostel, only one bathroom in.my floor for many rooms i had to go.up to last floor to go to bathroom when it was busy. Only one sofà to relax for many rooms, very caotic situation like it doesn't seem to be in a hostel, no real reception but only comumunication by booking, no breakfast at all only pack of noodle. The sheet of the bed where I think already used by otheres. Very difficult to find in a bilding with bar and restaurant in the lower floor..
Only location was excellent in the hearh of of Hongdae, the place was a caos.

South KoreaThey don't provide breakfast, but they didn’t remove it from the property advertisement. Overall staffs didn’t show any professionalism in their work. They also don't keep the air conditioner on in the living area for all the time, everytime someone need to request them to turn it on. It was super hot during my stay there, but nobody cares!

JapanThe vibe was a bit weird and the bunk beds were quite old and wobbly which made it difficult to get a good night's sleep. The lack of any attachment for the shower head in the bathroom was a bit weird too.
The location was very good. The communal area has a cozy atmosphere and comfortable seats.

VietnamIt will be a bit inconvenient if you have big luggage because there will be no lift, and the stay is on the 4th floor. But for me it's ok. I feel a bit noisy because people can come at late night but still not keep the necessary quiet, it makes me get up a few times at night.
Nice staff, nice people, good facilities.

GermanyUnfortunately, pictures do not correspond to reality. In the bathroom and also in the dormitory, there is mold on the walls and the air is very stuffy. The bed was also very uncomfortable and the mattress extremely worn out.
The location of the hostel was very good and central. The hostel is in the middle of the party district, so it can be very loud at night, but the location is unbeatable. The price is very reasonable. Breakfast quite ok

United StatesI thought the bathrooms were a bit unusual. I am used to Japanese wet rooms, but this one did not have a dry area, so even the clothing I brought in to put on after my shower got wet. Otherwise, I though the hostel was great!
I thought he French staff members were very nice and easy to work with for check-in & out. I liked how the rooms did not have too many girls in them. Just 4 to a room. I also liked the neighborhood as there were alot of food and shopping choices. Good area if you like clubbing as well.

VietnamHostel is on 4th floor so be cautious if you have heavy luggage. The place doesn't look like the promo photos at all due to crowded luggage and messy furnitures.
Neighborhood is fun and energetic at night, many places to eat and drink near by, but could be too crowded or noisy for some.

PhilippinesThey don't issue receipt. Very late check-in time at 4pm and very early check out time at 11am. I am not sure if it is all the same in hostels in that area. Plus I dont know if it is just coincidence that I wasn't allowed to checked-in early the day I arrived even if the room is available. However, during my last day I heard the staff allowing one guest to check in even it is just 11am. Very unfair. Then it is very specific on the email that every guest coming must not have symptoms of covid but the staff are coughing and sneezing during my visit. No electric blanket/comforter available. Very cold since only the underfloor heating is available.
It is very near to restaurants, shopping centers, convenience stores, banks, train stations and night market.

United KingdomThe volunteer staff were really really offish, really weird vibe they created with their offishness. One time one of them said to my partner, is That Girl coming back? She has to clean her spoon!! Like angrily as if I had spat on a spoon and told this man to clean it (I had only gone for a wee lol). It's a small hostel and should have a pretty nice easy vibe but the angry Frenchmen made it definitely weird 😆
