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...).

CanadaFor what you pay, the location and room are very good. No private bathroom, but that was the biggest drawback, the rest was as expected. The HI also had a great staff and activities to do on site which was nice. They were very accomadating.

CanadaI have the impression that many people live in the hostel permanently, which means the refrigerators in the kitchen are a mess and overflowing with stuff, leaving those staying as tourists with little space to put their few belongings. It would be nice to have more refrigerators and the ability to organize their belongings in boxes, like in other hostels.
I really enjoyed my stay at this hostel. I was able to rest comfortably after my journey. The room was very clean and the bed comfortable. I appreciated the sink in the room. I also liked the cabinets that held all my luggage. The kitchen was clean. I really liked the separate space for working remotely; it made things much easier. It was also nice that there were small refreshments – oatmeal and a candy bar. The Wi-Fi worked well. The location was great – close to buses. The neighborhood was quiet and not noisy. There was a laundry service. I was very pleased with my stay.

CanadaThe breakfast! Although it mentions breakfast is included. The downfall from this was that there was no selection or choice of breakfast. What I was expecting like many hostel, the staff would put out a variety breakfast for you each morning. You could help yourself to a selection of cereals, bagels, waffles, juice, fruit and tea/coffee. Unfortunately for here, there was 2 baskets placed at the reception desk. You could pick up a nutri grain bar and small pack of oats/porridge. That was it! There was a coffee machine in the dinning area so you could help yourself to black coffee.
The room I was staying in was very clean with plenty of space. The bed was comfortable and big with a lamp on both sides of the bed with a big open window. There was a blackout blind which was nice, a table and a sink in the room. Handy if you want to wash your hands or brush your teeth. The room had a fan which was great to have to keep cool throughout the night. The bathroom was always clean like the showers and toilets. There is a lot of places around the building where you could chill and relax.

Canada- Parking lot is very sketchy (could have more security or not covered by tree’s branches. - For those who seeks quiet sleep, you will not like the location: you could hear yelling, siren, unhoused fighting during the night
Location close to Whyte ave and university. Staff best maintaining cleanliness inside the building and room. (Well done)
