Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

IrelandDorm room is cold at night so definitely grab a fleece blanket from reception.
The dorms were freshly renovated so they were really modern and nice. Fleece blankets and kitchen bag (plates, cutlery, cup) provided when you check in. They also have a few things you can buy at reception like noodles, crisps, chocolate bars, fizzy drinks, etc.

United KingdomNothing
Fun, social atmosphere in a Queenslander style building. Good hostel for long termers and short term visitors. Plenty of space and large communal areas. Clean, hygienic bathrooms and a large newly renovated kitchen. SWTS is really well managed by lovely staff and an owner that truly cares. The location is also excellent, situated just off the iconic Boundary street in West end. So many good things to do in the area like parks, markets, and walks. Couldn’t recommend this hostel enough

GermanyToo few bathrooms for the dorms.
Great location in West End, Brisbane. Setting of the hostel is nicely done, and all common areas are quite nice: spacious kitchen with lots of outside seating, a pool and even a small workout station. Price cannot be beaten in the area.

United KingdomThere was always a strong smell of cannabis at night especially around our bedroom area.
This was our first hostel stay due to an Air B&B scam and overall it was a nice experience. We had our private double bedroom which was small but had all we needed for 3 nights. The shared toilets overall were okay, and the female toilets were really lovely for a hostel. Overall very clean. The staff were very nice and welcoming. Kitchen area was very spacious and there was always something going on. I’d recommend to book.

United States of AmericaI didnt like that the shuttle service from the station was not running due to the holiday. Guidance for the public bus as an alternative would have been helpful for arrival.
The room was very nice with plenty of storage areas, privacy and a mini fridge. It was nice having the free crepes on Easter Sunday. The neighborhood & city views were also good.

AustraliaThe drains stunk, eggy smell in the shower. There was a very strong clique when we stayed that played really awful music inconsiderately to others staying. Reggaeton can be fun but having the same songs blasting while people are having a chilled afternoon isn’t the one.
The overall vibe was really pretty and fun. It can be abit confusing where everything is and the best route to it but having it as an outdoor stay, even in the rain, was lovely.
