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...).

LithuaniaThe stuff was nice but not all the members wanted to help. Cause it was requesting them do things The first flour (the entrance) very smelly. Like drunk homeless living there.
Good location. Good value to the money. Very minimal but all what you need for short travel.

United KingdomUnfortunately there are no lockers or towels supplied or kitchen or breakfast area, but McDonald’s is right outside open 24/7 and showers are like in the hotel not hostel.
Arrived late at night but check in was very easy, the staff was professional and helpful, the hostel is in the very heart of the capital literarily opposite the statue of Liberty of Latvia.

Czech RepublicLoudy hostel, especially rooms on the fourth floor that are completely occupied by Indian workers. Common places are quite dirty and cleaning service is insufficient. The beds are not comfortable (just the cheapest mattress from IKEA), and windows are located to the cloudy street or air shaft where Mcdonald's deflates fish smell.
Perfect location. As for the room on the fifth floor, if possible, since rooms there are more silent than on the fourth floor. If accommodated on the fourth floor, use showers and kitchen on the fifth floor.

SwedenTo be honest this hostel is full of Indians. So if you are not comfortable being around a lot of male indians then it is not suitable for you. It has 4 and 5th floors. Looks like the whole 4th floor is overtaken by indians. Luckily i got quite room and it was clean as well. I had to use the 5th floor washrooms as the 4th floor was so crowded
The location of the hostel is quite good. The rooms and beds were good. Filled with humble Indians. They offered me delicious food as well. I'm posting this to just inform whoever would like to book it.

PolandNo lockers in the rooms (or rather there were lockers, but keys for the locks were not available, and couldn't padlock them). No shower gel in the showers.
Decent enough rooms and bathrooms in an extremely central location (the location literally couldn't be better for city centre and old town sightseeing).

United KingdomThe receptionist gave us a room on the 5 floor as the whole floor below was filled with Indian men. They had just taken over the whole floor the kitchens and the seating relaxing area.. My partner didn't feel safe using these areas alone. The smell of the cooking just never went away...
We had a budget double room which was spotless, very comfortable bed with nice sheets we really slept well, the hotel is right in the centre of riga just where you want to be to make the most of riga.. The hotel is right next to the mcdonald's so great to grab a coffee or a breakfast before your day sightseeing..

CroatiaOne of the beds was broken and it was a bit tilted to one side, but there were more beds than there were people in the room, so it was not that much of a problem
The place was nice, we didn't meet any of the staff, we just got a code for the locker with the room keys and that's it. The room was quite big, the showers and the toilets were also ok. It's nothing special but it's a nice place for the price

FranceWhile the staff works really hard to maintain the cleanliness of the place, the common area and kitchen were always occupied and someone is cooking (all day) so the hallways and reception would smell like a restaurant.
The place is right in the city center and it's right next to Riga's old town. Very nice and patient staff. The beds were comfortable. It is worth its price.
