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...).

ChileA curfew hour must be implemented where the rest of others is respected. The two times I have stayed there are those who continue partying late in the morning and don't let them rest
It is my second time at the hostel and I must say that its greatest strength is its staff. Worthy of imitating the good service and attention. The girls on staff do more than what is surely their responsibility and it shows. But still his work is Excellent. It's like a poor circus where they have to do everything and they do it exceptionally well. I had the opportunity just a few days before to stay at the other hostel next to the Central library and I must say that this location is 1000 times better in everything. Love the coffee machine and its respective roasted bean. A detail that makes the difference and for me it is worth gold.

Czech RepublicThe space in the showers is really small, when it is a problem to change clothes in peace, and I would probably like a better socket solution for the upper bunk beds, because access to the socket behind the bed is not very easy to reach. Otherwise, maximum satisfaction.
The hostel is in a good location, the room was pleasant, the bunk beds were comfortable, the kitchen was big, the breakfast amazing and the staff were very nice and helpful. Every evening the program is shared.

CanadaNothing I can point out considering we didn't stay long enough. Even if you are on a budget, you can opt for hotels nearby as they come at $20-30 more for a night.
The hostel is located at a prime location just a couple of streets away from the nearest transit stop. Right now, there is some construction activity happening right around the hostel so there is nothing called a view there. The rooms are as advertised, and are clean, although the charging points are too less for everyone in the room to share. The bathrooms were quite ok; again, it depends on the people using them and how clean they would leave them. There are separate showers for men and women. The men's were apparently clean (as per my husband), I found a toilet in the ladies' washrooms dirty. The shower areas were fine. They do provide breakfast, but we had an early check-out so we missed that. All in all, a decent stay in the property.
