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.).

Czech RepublicThis has been already mentioned in the comments – most people in the hostel seemed to me like working their day/night jobs and having to pay this hostel instead of being able to afford a regular rent. The vibe is the house is a bit depressing – many tired workers with zero privacy living in a totally full rooms on bunk beds queueing on the corridor for a shower… (I just hope these living conditions are not the future for all bigger cities!)
The location is great, stuff was very welcoming on my arrival.

ItalyDespite all the staff is really welcoming and helpfull , I've experienced an annoying episode. One day there was a late / early check in ( 4 / 5 am ) and the guy from the staff came in the room talking loud and turning on all the lights . It wasn't professional and unrespectful with the rest of guests who were visibly resting. So, I just recommend to be more sensitive and pay more attention to this aspects.
What I did like the most was the location and the beautiful patio . Also the two main bathrooms almost brand new and the staff try to keep them as much clean as possible during all the day ( sometimes in hostels could be difficult ).

United KingdomThe budget dorm have 3 tier bunk bed, which is what you pay for, but it means the room is tiny and there is no space for all the bags. And the lockers won't fit a small bag, so uncomfortable stay
Great location, and staff friendly and helpful.

ArgentinaUgh, I wrote it into the things I liked.
I stayed in January 2025, I chose the private room; everything was very good, considering that it is a hostel, since the priority is the meeting with other travelers, then some amenities that can be found in a hotel are left aside, such as access to the room in this case is by stairs and is complicated with the suitcase, a bedside table is missing and the bathroom shower can be improved to avoid wetting the entire floor. The rest of the hostel is very comfortable, both the common areas and the location and the breakfast is very tasty. I would come back.

BrazilThe hostel was kinda empty even though it was on the weekend, and most of the people there were more like local workers, so it did not have that "cool hostel" vibe to meet new people and have parties. Also, the hostel is not having any events right now, so don't expect to have barbecues or pub crawls like it is shown in the pictures, it is kinda of disappointing for a solo traveler, as it is part of the experience to meet new people.
Location exceptional, safe, and beautiful neighborhood, and just 4 blocks away from a trendy beach. The staff was very friendly, hanging out with us whenever possible, and the breakfast was ok (the price was good, considering Montevideo's prices).

GermanyDo not book the triple-bunk dorm, it stinks and is really small! The other dorms are very nice though. The kitchen needs to be restocked, none of the pots really worked, much of it was a bit disgusting, and it would be nice to have basics like salt and oil there.
Cool vibe, cool staff, good price, nice garden, good location in a very nice neighborhood, few minute walking to the beach. They even have a TV with a playstation. Overall a very nice hostel if you don’t book the cheapest dorm!

United StatesFirst, the toilet didn't flush properly in the private room. It needed to be flushed 3 or 4 times each use. They should get that fixed. Second, the neighbors were noisy. I'm not sure there is anything they can do about that, but music was being played past 1am and as early as 9am on a Tuesday.
Lively hostel vibe. Nice staff and lots of social people hanging out. Bed was comfortable. Good AC. I would stay again in the shared rooms. Private room is cheaper than most, but you get what you pay for.

United KingdomWe booked one of the private double rooms and the bed was extremely uncomfortable, a huge dip in the middle. The walls between the room and the common room were quite thin so could hear everybody in there at all times.
Lovely staff, in a good location near the beach. TV in the lounge area was playing all the World Cup matches. Offers a shuttle service to the airport. Good kitchen facilities. Outdoor area was nice.
