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...).

South AfricaThe breakfast could be a little wider in terms of options for people. I am celiac and noticed that there was not much available for me so opted for breakfast near the Hostel instead. Also the lift does take a while to get you up and down to rooms and reception etc so just use the stairs!
The Circus was located quite well for a tourist visiting the city as it doesn't take long to get to main tourist areas and there is quite a lot of good food places so close by. We used public transport and there is both an underground and tram station right next to the hostel which is great for female travellers. The private room was a great idea for myself and my friend as we paid a good price for the 2 of us and had some privacy with no disturbances which is well needed on a trip with many locations (just know that it is a shared bathroom which is not an issue as they are really nice!). The staff were fantastic and the hostel puts a load of effort into organising trips and excursions for guests so be sure to look out at reception or speak to the staff.

HungaryWe were 6 people in a dormitory so in the morning, the room needed some fresh air badly as we couldn't leave the windows open due to the weather. I think there could be some better ventilation system in such a small room with so many people sleeping. But it was not really bad, it is just something that could be improved.
The location was great. The staff were really helpful and nice. Breakfast was great. I had some time before taking my train back and there was a possibility to store my luggage for free very comfortably in a locker room. I enjoyed my stay. Pleasant. Nice atmosphere.

SingaporeThe road facing rooms can get quite noisy from the traffic and people on the street if you open the windows for ventilation, else it is quite soundproof
Clean and spacious rooms. The toilets are clean too and the heated water comes on fast. There’re plenty of cafes and restaurants all around the hostel.

PortugalThe pillow was too big and soft. The outlet was in a little cupboard inside the bunk bed and I had to keep it open whilst charging which was very uncomfortable as there was little space to lie down. It was claustrophobic.
I was in a 8 bed room. It was spacious and the bed was comfortable except the pillow. The staff was very friendly.

United KingdomThese are tiny things, but you could only get free tea or coffee when the cafe was closed in the early afternoon as we didn’t pay for breakfast which is a shame. It’d be nice to have a kettle in the private rooms. Also the sound proofing to the other rooms/corridor isn’t great.
Super comfy bed, friendly staff, excellent location with the U Bahn right outside, and the whole design was very clean and stylish. It was exactly what we needed!

AustraliaEverything was great. If I’m being picky, it took longer than expected to check out as there was only one staff member on, but that’s about it.
Bed was really comfortable for a hostel, the whole building was really funky vibes and I loved the David Hasselhoff exhibit downstairs.

LithuaniaThe showers were being cleaned at peak times, so you had to go furher the corridor to find available showers. But really not a big deal, as because of it everthing was clean all the time.
The showers were very well designed. The beds were very comfortable and the room was super spacious with large mirrors. Great space for phone charging and easy access to personal things next to the bed.

NetherlandsTo lock the locker you must have a big padlock, the regular ones used for luggages do not fit. I had a regular one and didn't use. The shower room has no changing room, so you need to change in the shower space taking care not to wet your clothes. The towel is not included, even thought it says it is on booking.com description.
The hostel is well located, has a nice common space, a cafe and a nice bar. The bar staff are nice and, on thursdays, they promote a karaoke that is super fun! The staff are nice and helpful. I stayed in a 8 bed room, the rooms are big, has enough space and places to charge the electronics, a locker and a small light for each bed. Showers are hot.

Simpel to just arrive, they have a nice free area for storing luggage locked individually. High speed wifi, generally clean bathrooms. Theres a lockable cupboard for luggage beside every bed, so bring a small lock. I was able to do some digital meetings in the lobby without a problem.
