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...).

South KoreaMaybe it was just in the room I stayed, I really don’t like the photo(Buddha) on the wall, it made me creepy even if I believe Buddhism. There was no elevator and I had injury during the stay so it was uncomfortable.
It is located near main street and the room was clean!

IrelandI was in 4 bed for 3 nights, and the room was not cleaned during my stay, maybe because they were doing some work on the next floor, which caused leaking in the shower. Overall, it's a great place to stay in Dublin.

GermanyYou have to bring your own towels and padlocks.
The stuff is very nice and helpful. You find someone who can help you 24h. There are a lot of facilities such as luggage storage, hairdryers, lockers (you need your own padlock), restaurant.. Our roommates were very considerate and quiet, though they came back in the middle of the night and had to get up early. The bus from/to the airport stops nearby.

United KingdomLack of sofas and places to chill out. Privacy curtains at the beds (could be a bit more curtainey to actually give you full privacy but not bad overall) TV had Netflix (but you had to use your own account) Pool table needs refelting and it's a shame it costs a Euro instead of being grattis! A chair in the dorms to put your shoes on would have been nice. I mean, what are we, a bunch of people who sit on the floor to put our shoes on...
Excellent staff. Positive, outgoing, helpful, chatty but not overbearing. Breakfast was a bit lacklustre but as it comes free can't fault it too much. Amazing location. Big Kitchen! But the knives could do with a bit of sharpening. Oddly enough there was a lack of teaspoons too. And more chopping boards would have been nice.

MontenegroSince so many groups are booked in this hostel, and especially on wild weekends, I would next time look to stay Sunday to Thursday and in a room with a maximum of 6 beds. Otherwise, the stay isn't so pleasant.
Excellent location, kind staff. Rooms with fewer beds are a must.

New ZealandThere wasn’t a lift and a fair few stairs but understand that it was an older style building. The layout was slightly confusing but the signs were helpful.
Location was excellent, right in the middle of town. Staff were friendly and helpful. Was in a 32 bed dorm which I thought would be a lot, but it was semi divided so it seemed like there were less people. Each bed had its own individual curtains, which helped with the privacy. The restaurant on site made some really good food. I arrived before check in intending to drop off my bag but was able to check in as my room was ready which was appreciated.

It is in general very clean, I liked a lot staying in an all-female room. Many bathrooms and showers. Also cool that they provide breakfast. Beds with curtains, something that sometimes I do not see in other hostels.

AustraliaAfter a day of rain and people bringing in their wet clothes, the room began to smell really bad as the moisture got trapped. Even with the window open (when not raining) it was impossible to get the damp air and mould smell out. Also, no where to hang wet jackets. Talking to people in other rooms, they seem to have the same experience, a couple saying they slept with a mask on or with perfume sprayed on their pillow. Toilets were not the cleanest.
Staff were super friendly and approachable and met some really great people here. A very social hostel with daily events like walking tours, pub quizzes, and bar crawls. Curtains and lights at every bed and a full length mirror in the room. Breakfast was simple (cereal, toast, some cold meat, and cheese) but free. Great location to explore from and felt safe walking back at night. Also very easy to get the airport bus to and fro.
