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 location wasn’t in the absolute center but still pretty accessible by 10/15 minutes of bus/tram
The staff was amazing and very nice. I would like to give a shout out to Anna from the reception as she was super sweet and helped us and accommodated us at every step. Loved the terrace aswell.

AndorraThe breakfast schedule was not respected and if you went "too late" (although within hours), the staff would not allow you to eat whatever she had already cleand (I was only allowed to eat cereals, beans and eggs and they removed the beans and eggs right after I served myself, one hour before the end of scheduled breakfast time). The bathrooms had not the best light and when crowded the hostel became quite noisy. Some activities were scheduled by outdoors (bbq), which is not ideal in December.
The bed was comfortable, the facilities were cool and clean, kitchen well equipped and a small convenience store just in front of the hostel. The city center is walkable distance

South KoreaThe stairs were quite treacherous and definitely not accessible for people with disabilities. One of our beds wasn't the cleanest, with some stains on the top sheet.
Nice communal feel, friendly and helpful staff. There was a free barbecue the night we arrived. The shower and bathrooms were very private and we felt safe at Hostel Elf. The location was pretty good. The kitchen had a shared/free food drawer and great facilities to cook proper meals.

SlovakiaIt was rather noisy - the walls and doors seemed to be from paper, you hear every step or word from the corridor (and ppl were loud even at night). The room was EXTREMELY small, enough for me to turn around. We got the smallest room but for the price we paid I expected smt better. Even though there were 3 bathrooms and showers, they were occupied 90% of the time and when it was my turn, ppl kept knocking on my door. Another thing - the cleaning lady just came inside our room early in the morning while we were still in the bed waking up! Inside the building there was cigarette smell in the walls, hard to get rid of.
The staff was REALLY friendly and helpful! It was the best thing about the accomodation. For this I give 100/100! Also the location close to the train station. But for anything else you need to take a tram/bus. I liked the terrace, it had a nice and peaceful atmosphere.

GermanyInside the room was a bit messy and smelly. The guests outside in the common area were loud on saturday evening (thankfully my room was far enough from them to not hear it). I booked 2 beds and one of the receptionist initially did not want to give my friend the card to enter the room, saying that it was enough to use one card for two people which i find absurd, considering waiting time at the toilets or that we simply may have different plans for the day. The next shift at the reception i got a card for my friend without problems so she could be independent. Some beds do not have curtains and they are aware of it. I find the corridors/interior a bit dark in comparison to the rooms. Overall the hostel is slightly over-priced in my opinion.
Location close to the main bus station and easy to reach the center. I liked the common room and terrace space. The facilities were regularly cleaned. One of the receptionist was very helpful to try to find a solution for the missing curtain on the bed. A good option for 2-3 nights not too far from the centre

TurkeyLocation is a bit far from the city center (considering Prague standards). However, this is if you are only looking for a walk. By public transport, it is very convenient. Snoring guys and in the middle of the night very noisy packing & moving people in the room but this is not hostel's issue. It is related to the guests in my room.
Staff was always there to help Beds are very comfy Toilets and bathrooms are more than enough and very clean Free tea & coffee all day. Easy public transport
