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...).

United States of AmericaNoisy because of large group of young visitors that were slamming doors at all hours and yelling in the hallway. It seemed there were about 50 + in a group of school kids. It's fine to have fun, but this carried on for days until they left. Their group leader should have been advised. The biggest issue was the size of the room vs. the cages under the bed where the storage was. If a cage is pulled out, the walkway is blocked. I can see where they can squeeze more rooms in this way, but it's frustrating. If they also had a set of slim wardrobe-type cabinets that would help. When someone gets into a cage it is noisy and can wake people up. If there was a corresponding cabinet, people could place items for the next day in the cabinet and it would give an option to not go into the storage cage all of the time.
Many positives, staff were excellent and patiently answered all questions as well as responded via messaging to earlier questions before the stay. Requested and received lower bunk and they also thoughtfully put me on a lower floor. Breakfast was well done, kitchen and fridge helpful and kept tidy. Extra bathrooms were good. Borrowed hairdryer, rented towel. Location was excellent. Friendly fellow travelers.

United States of AmericaMy room didn’t have great ventilation so we had to have the windows open or there would be an odd smell, and the showers could be fairly cold.

United States of AmericaThe beds are pretty rackety. Metal framed bunk beds not anchored to the wall. Top bunk sucks. Hard to come and go - no where else to sit / be other than on your bed. Also, the rooms were very stuffy / no ventilation/ air flow.
Nice downstairs space. Although, there was a kid group staying and running all over. Maybe that’s typical though. Had laundry facilities which is the main reason for booking.

AustraliaThe room was stuffy and warm, even in April with a small fan going. I wouldn't like to be there in summer.
Staff were great - genuinely nice, helped with issues, and most of all there was always someone there. Breakfast is fine - but included, so free coffee and a toast or whatever is always nice. Plenty of bathrooms, although they are a little small. Also was worried that this would be a mad party hostel, my room was very chill, and I think the hostel keeps a lid on it.

IrelandBreakfast is still kind of lacking, coffee machine wasn't working and there was very little to eat when I arrived at 8:30.
Staff were very friendly and helpful, they have renovated the basement/kitchen/dining areas and they look great, and the bed was shockingly comfortable for a hostel bed! I have stayed here many times and had a really awful experience at my last stay here (a year ago) so I'm glad things have improved.

Good Location within the City, close to all the sights and Pubs:) - staff was very friendly and available 24h - great communal spaces with TV, Games, Bar, etc, all you need - room was cleaned every day (we had a private room in the building next door to the Hostel, where all the dorms are, so it was also a bit more quiet) - breakfast included!!

United Arab EmiratesIt’s in the main road so a bit noisy but not really a biggie for me.
It’s location and the friendliness of the staff. I need to leave early both days when I was there and they’re really nice and accommodating that they open the kitchen for me so I can have hot water.

SpainThere are only 1 female toilet per floor, if your floor is busy you need to go looking for another toilet in another floor.
The location is perfect to move around the city and arrive from the airport by public transport. The breakfast is included and there are different options for all tastes. The staff was very nice and helpful.

FranceNothing to be honest, I think for the price it is a great deal.
Great hostel, for the price it has great value, with the included breakfast and shower in room and the location it was great. The dorm (12 female dorm) was really quiet, the staff is friendly, people are respectful of each other, you can safely store your stuff under the beds if you have a locker. I would recommend for travel alone or with friends.
