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...).

BelgiumThe hostel is located in a by-road, which can be a little sketchy in the night. I wouldn't advice that if it's your first time coming to the inn, and its late at night, use Talbot St. rather than the other street to get to the hostel.
I appreciated the safety measures available at the hostel. The different floors and rooms were only accessible using a pin assigned to you by the reception. There was also a locker where you could securely store all your things. As a solo-female traveler, this safety aspect was very much appreciated. I liked that there was a separate ( and surprisingly spacious) bathroom for each dorm. The pods were also a great feature, since it offered me privacy and allowed me to keep the lights on in my area without worrying that it will disturb others. The Bar and restaurant were also very welcoming, and I opted to spend my nights here rather than going out to eat.

AustraliaBathroom wasn't super clean, and a bit annoying that we all had to share 1 shower between 6 people, so you need to get up early before everyone to have a chance to not loose time waiting for others to finish.
The rooms were quite quiet, with the beds being some what comfortable. I really liked having curtains as they cut out a lot of light. It was good having a toilet in the dorm. Also they have a lot of space in the lockers for luggage storage, and was a lot more than a normal hostel which was great!

CanadaWhile sleeping people next cells unconsciously hit the walls of their cells with their arms or legs and that made terrible sounds that reminded me of explosions I can hear at home during russian missile attacks.
The description of the place is quite good and gives the correct image of the place. The breakfast is very good (it can be included or not). The cell to sleep is quite comfortable with a shelf and two different light scenarios :-) The linen is clean and fresh. I liked the privacy that this type of cells can provide as well as protect from cold air from the window.

NetherlandsI wasn't sure where else the bathrooms or showers for women were... In case someone else was using the bathroom in our room, which is very obviously going to happen as we share the room with plenty of people. I found the mens bathroom on the same floor, but there was no signs where other bathrooms could be. There were very little signs in the hostel to show where other bathrooms or facilities might be. You only found them on the first floor. The location of the hostel was not the greatest as it was in a side street where I didn't feel so safe to walk into.
The room itself was very clean (even though I think I was lucky with the cleanness), and you each got individual pods with good lightning and a curtain for your own privacy. In your pod you had plenty of space to put your own stuff and charge your own stuff. We even had our own bathroom which was very clean and nice as well. The room was big and spacious and plenty of room for the lockers.

IrelandThere was a member of the staff that deliberately kept changing the codes anytime I am about to get into my room. I regretted my stay with them cos I was racially humilated by the attitude of this staff.. I should have sue them but kept my patience by not having anything to do with them ever.

LithuaniaThe location is near the main railway station, which can be a definite plus but also can attract questionable people. Not the fault of the hostel, it is always like that with stations. What is something not so thoughtful is the USB ports only in the pod, i.e., no normal electric sockets. Nowadays more and more people have type-c or other cables so to limit options like that is very inconvenient. I was not able to charge my phone, for example.
Great-great showers and bathrooms! Isolated pod-beds give a sense of personal space and simply look good. Everything is tidy and new. Very easy check-in and check-out.
