Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

NetherlandsNo power point by the beds.
The reviews are not so good, so I didn't expect much, but I thought this hostel is fine! Enough space in the dorm and big lockers, clean facilities and enough parking spots. It was too cold during my stay, but the pool looks great too.

ArgentinaEverything was good in general but really noisy. The walls are very thin, and you can hear everything that happens in the rooms. There's shouting and loud music almost every day, so it's not suitable for people who work early and can rest.

NetherlandsI've definitely had better hostels, and for what you pay... The bed was super squeaky which kept me and my other roommates up all night. Didn't get the best sleep. One of the shower doors in the girls bathroom was missing, stuff like that. The people in the hostel were nice though!

GermanyFor some reason the AC turns off in the middle of the night and sometimes you can’t turn it back on. Some of the staff are very nice and helpful but the manager doesn’t really seem to care about his guests.
The hostel has a very social and friendly vibe and it’s only a five minute walk to the beach.

AustraliaApparently a lot of construction is going on site, so the yard looks nothing like in the photos. We didn't manage to catch up with the staff- the check-in happened via text messages, therefore we never got the information on how to connect to wifi. It looked like the hostel is mostly for people who live there long term and there was barely any space in all the fridges for a bottle of drink to store. Small shower and bathroom with even smaller sink.
Huge kitchen with loads of appliances and dishes, but gets busy during the dinner time. Groceries are just a short walk away, free street parking. Clean.

AustraliaDirty bathroom, due for an insect treatment. Bins not changed regularly enough in ladies bathroom when I stayed (bad smell from bins). "Long term stay" atmosphere might be why there's not great maintenance here. In the dorm our shelves were broken and the aircon wasn't working.
Friendly staff, 4 bed dorm was laid out well so it didn't feel crammed. Ample storage space in the locker. Kind atmosphere and staff ensured that guests respected the "quiet time" after 10pm, which was considerate. The location is great, easy walk to Kings Beach and beyond, lots of cafes around and Coles/Kmart are across the road. Super convenient. Plenty of street parking (although on the very busy holiday that we visited, the street parking did fill up, it just seems like a rare issue). Friendly atmosphere.

AustraliaAs I stayed for only one night, I couldn't have encountered anything to my dislike.
I didn't have breakfast as I was out early to resume my travels. The hostel itself was great with lively decors and great amenities. I stayed in a 4 person room but was fortunate enough to have it all to myself as I was worn out from travelling so I got a well needed respite The room was neat and clean, the beds were very confortable and supplied with different blankets for comfort preference. Overall the place had a cozy atmosphere with a nice garden and lounge area with a pool table and tv.

Brazilthe staff was not very welcoming, and there was a lot of mess in the bedroom and corridors. It's not the hostel's fault, but they could be stricter with the visitors about organization.
The best part of the accommodation was the shower; it was very good, and the common areas were great as well. The location is great, there's some supermarkets close to the hostel. There are no sockets near the beds and this is sorely missed.

United KingdomThe WiFi did not kick in immediately, which wasn't convenient. It did work eventually, however. It was very loud far into the late evening, which could be improved in the future if there is a quiet policy past a certain point. We booked as a pair and were separated. We appreciate this sometimes needs to happen, however, we would've preferred a room together.
The location was good. Walking distance from the beach, which was why we stopped over for the night. The kitchen was large with plenty of facilities. There were many communal areas to sit and/relax or socialise. The host allowed us to keep our luggage in the office as we ventured out for the day post check out.
