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...).

JapanThe elevator is somehow inconvenient. My room is next to the entrance, so I get startled and wake up every time someone comes in and out. I've never stayed in a dorm where basic items like towels and toothbrushes cost extra. Other places even provide makeup remover, lotion.
Everything seems clean.

MalaysiaToo many of restriction and rules. Need to spend time to read the rules during check in but so far it good to have it.
The location was great. Just a few street from the Otaru Train Station. Definitely will stay again if come to Otaru as it was value for money.

JapanWe booked two beds in a mixed dorm so we could be together, but they gave us one bed in a male-only room and one in a female-only room, so my partner and I had to stay in different rooms :( My room was empty apart from me, and there seemed to be a few empty rooms so I’m not sure why we couldn’t be together, but apart from that the stay was perfect.
The lobby has a really cute camping vibe :)

JapanIt would have been nice if they provided earplugs. I noticed a couple of people who stayed during my time there was a little noise at night. So, it was hard for me to go to bed.
The location of the place was very convenient. The was a convenience store next door along with a small street of shops and restaurants. It was also a short walk from the station, the canals, and other shops.

JapanThe entrance is difficult to find at night. If they can have the instruction to go to the place it will be very nice. Only one AC port available and lightning inside the bunk bed is limited. Bringing an adapter with multiple ports is recommended. Staff left early (9pm) and came late (12pm~). Better ask everything beforehand. The elevator stops when there is no staff. Only stairs...
The shower was nice. The place is clean.

South KoreaWell.. if I have to say, I arrived before noon and tried to keep my luggage before check-in time but there was no way to enter since all the stairs and elevator was locked. No staff before 12. But it is understandable. They save money in that way to provide cheaper accomodation. I satyed here less than 2500yen even just a day before the Sapporo Snow Festival when all the hostels and hotels riased their prices doulble.
Well managed hostel. Big communial area. Clean and big shower area. Cheap laundry and direr.

SingaporeLift and reception operated only from 12pm -9pm. After that no services at all. Imagine have to Carry luggage all the way from upper without lifts. Common lounges area light was also out on our level after 9pm. That’s the reason I give it 7 otherwise this place deserves a 9 point.
We had a family private room, which was nice. This place is really new n super clean. Staff was nice.

Japanthere is no place to refrigerate your food inside the room, but the 3rd floor kitchen is available for that. if you need to store a lot of ingredients for an extended period of time it may become a bit complicated though, since the fridge is used by everyone. shouldn't be an issue as long as you travel light^^
the room was kept very warm, beds were comfy, and the overall layout of the 4 bed room worked very well for 3 people. the staff were very helpful and had great customer service. the location is also great, walking from otaru station was very easy even with snow and there is a Lawson directly below as well as many restaurant options for food.
