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 KingdomThe air condition is loudly, a bit noisy.
Very good location, in the Cube houses, and you can see the other famous buildings in their balcony. Facilities are clean.

SwitzerlandIt's still better to admire the building from the outside than to spend time in a room. Skewed rooms with insufficient daylight are kind of far from perfect. Nevertheless, it's quite an option if you just need a place to sleep a couple of nights in Rotterdam, due to its good location just next to Blaak transport hub and decent breakfast.
Rotterdam in general and this hostel in particular are an architecture paradise. The breakfast was reasonably good.

Cape VerdeThe mirror was not in front of the sink, a small detail but that complicates stuff like beard trimming. The beds on the shared room were not too comfortable.
Great location near tourist attractions. The breakfast is very good with diverse choices. Bathroom was inside the shared room. The price was reasonable.

IrelandHello, The censor light in the shower does not work properly. While having shower It does not detect your movement as it should. The shower tap works by pushing and light works with censor. Then you see yourself while waving one hand for the light and the other for pushing the shower tap. You can’t enjoy the shower, at least I couldn’t. Beside this, I want to draw your attention to this information: “The eyes need to adapt to the low lighting condition after you switch off the lights, a process called dark adaptation.” As the showers are wet and slippery places it can be very dangerous for your guests. And please keep in mind that Accident happens once! Better to prevent it.
Almost everything was very good! I stayed in Stayokay Amsterdam in January and that is why I chose Stayokay Rotterdam. If I come Netherlands again, I hope I come, definitely I will choose Stayokay and recommend to all friends.

United KingdomWi-Fi was below par, for me it was unusable from my room and was better in common room but still unreliable. Little bit picky but better lighting in hallways would be nice.
The novelty of staying inside an iconic building is cool and it’s right next to the huge market. The staff were friendly and helpful.

GermanyI really was missing a kitchen - hostel for me means being able to cook my own food and at at least drink my own stuff in the common area, but you had to buy everything. Also the room had sadly very bad air circulation - in the morning water dripped down from the ceiling from everyones breathing at night :/ and lastly there are no lockers in the room - you need to rent one downstairs.
Good Location, tasty breakfast and great architecture
