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 lady working the counter when I arrived was really nice. There was a bit of a mix up with pods, but she did everything she could to fix it and was really kind. I would stay again.
Probably a little far for transport wise for switching lines to get there from airport

Verified reviewThe pod concept is much better than a regular hostel
The hostel team could be better at communicating. For example, booking.com says you can’t check in past midnight, the hostel never accepted my request to check in after midnight, they wouldn’t answer my communications, and I turned up at 12:15am not knowing whether I’d be able to check in. As well, I found the fan in my pod was very faint, so I was quite hot all night.

Verified reviewThe pod itself is quite comfortable and all seems clean. Staff is friendly.
The facilities however are different in main reception building and the one next to it, where the toilet and shower are quite old. Overall all good but, as it was not the cheapest hostel, the facilities could be better.

Verified reviewPod experience was good. Got the privacy that's missing in bunk beds. Ac was decent. It's switched off between 3pm and 7pm but it doesn't get uncomfortable. Washrooms were clean. Overall value for money 👍🏼

Verified reviewI had a very late flight and arrived at the Hive about 02:30 Sunday morning. Although no staff was visible, my key was sitting the front desk with name attached. I quickly found my capsule and all went smoothly.
In the morning, the coffee container was empty, however did get replenished a little later. Otherwise all was good

Verified reviewvalue for money, great for stay upto 1wk, good location, food choices. laundry service on site, free coffee and tea 24x7, common fridge, as any hostel has.
lighting in the common rooms could be better, run some AC or more powerful fan in the common room, also perhaps a power wash of the floor in the common room, looks worn out. a bit more TLC in the common room would be great.
