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 reviewThe location was great and the staff is really nice. The rooms are ok and the beds were comfortable, so it was overall a nice experience.
Only that the beds need curtains, everything else is good.

Verified reviewWe stayed at this hostel for one night, and unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing. When we arrived, the toilet and the handwash area were both dirty, which already gave us a bad impression. Later at night, when we wanted to sleep, we saw an insect (an earwig). It was very fast, so we couldn’t take a photo, but all four of us saw it clearly. When we reported this to the reception, instead of taking our complaint seriously, they insisted on having “evidence” and dismissed our concern. Two of our group felt so uncomfortable that they decided to sleep in the car instead of staying in the room. Overall, the cleanliness, service, and behavior of the hostel staff were unacceptable. We are not satisfied and would not recommend staying here.

Verified reviewThe location is great, only 15 min from the central station. Many markets and restaurants around. The personal was super friendly. In the kitchen you can find everything you need to cook.
The room was on the street side and it is quite busy, so it was super laud during the night. The cleaning it needs to be improve, specially for the shower. We had a small locker to put the private things but the luggage I put it under the bed and the floor was dirty. The prices at the bar could be a bit cheaper for who is staying at the hostel, otherwise does not motivate you to have a drink there.

Verified reviewIt’s clean and kind of safe.I stayed in the third floor that was ok. The self catering kitchen is a cool option even if it’s dark and has not much place
The tiny doors appeared like a storage room.it had supersede windows and the light in the corridor was too bright.everytime when someone entered the light came through the curtains of the room. The room was very hot and I asked for a missing bed sheeet and they did not respond to that demand.

Verified reviewVery accessible to the city center
The shower room had a clogged drain, so the floor was flooded, and wastewater from the neighboring stall was flowing in, which was unhygienic and unpleasant. The bedroom had no door — it was only separated by a curtain — so I could hear people talking in the hallway until late at night, and I couldn’t sleep. I also had to bring my used sheets and pillow to the front desk myself. I’ve stayed at many hostels, but this was the first time I’ve experienced something like that, and I was quite taken aback.

Verified reviewClean bed sheets. Nice kitchen.
Very very very loudly: this is a street with dozens of bars/restaurants. Music plaid til 04:00, People on the street screamed till 05:00, I can't sleep at all (I've rode 225km on bike this day). It was worst night in overall hotels which I've stayed. Definitely not recommend.
