How guest reviews work
Each 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 are 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

The place was overrun with teenage school kids there on a school camp. This meant that none of the usual bar crawl events actually happened, because there were not enough people to make up the numbers. As a solo traveller I was disappointed because it took away from the social life of the hostel.
Big room with a great view

I don’t like that lockers not equipped with locks, you should buy it for 5 euro, towels also for rent 3,50 euro ., or for sale 6,50. Also would be nice to have curtains on beds and shelve for some stuff near bed. And the beds in our dormitory was creaking with every movement.
Bathroom was clean enough, hooks ,space for towels, everything were quite comfortable for this price. Also nice terrace with great view on Barcelona. Best location

The bathroom is really small and there is only one shower for lot of people. Not very clean as well. You have to pay to leave there your luggage after check-out
Nice location, the dining area is cool and you can just chill there, eat your own food or buy something at the bar. Overall the hostel is OK but it costs more than it is worth

No privacy in the beds at all when you sleep, I mean no curtains in your own bed and a bit noisy because the road next to the hostel is very busy in terms of traffic so bring earplugs to sleep
The location is great, right next to Passeig de Gracia and Casa Batlló and within a walking distance of Plaça Catalunya and La Pedrera and Diagonal avenue. The recepction is opened at night also, I came back at 2:30 AM and there were staff working.

They don't change towels daily. No shampoos, conditioner, shower gel provided. No kettle or even fridge in the room. No complimentary coffee or tea provided. The staffs in level 1 were very loud especially this morning around 9am. My room is nearby the cleaning room/staff room. They were all talking loudly in the morning. Someone keeps trying opening my door in the night. I am unsure who it was. Overall, it was a pleasant stay.
The property is really in a good location. It is very accessible with almost all tourist attractions. The metro is also nearby the property.

The location was extremely useful as it was in the heart of Barcelona and easy to get too with the Metro.

The bathroom was not great, especially the shower. It's not very practical. The atrium elevator doesn't work, or at least not always. Tip: there is another one that works. The staff could let you know that, but they don't talk a lot.
Great location at Passeig di Gracia. Our room was on the 6th floor and it had a balcony with an incredible view. Great price.

It is not that clean or comfortable at all. Really hard to have a good night of sleep. There is no kitchen, so you can’t cook there and the common spaces are close by 10pm, so you have no space to take a sit or eat.
Excellent location. Close to a lot of attractions in Barcelona and easy to arrive by public transportation. The staff is also amazing.

As in most hostels, the bathrooms need an upgrade. Mattresses too. There is also no point having a café without vegetarian & vegan options which is closed because they are cleaning. Serving coffee, tea, drinks is still possible while cleaning
Well run hostel, good staff, WiFi and facilities. More suitable for people who like to go out into the city at night in my opinion, than a quiet traveler like myself.

Because there were so many to one room, my first night was hell. Woken up to an alarm that kept going off and the most hell born snoring I have ever heard. The showers are a bit crappy which always annoys me.
The location is perfect being right in the middle of the city, plus the hostel is in a safe spot too (no back alleys). The beds are comfy and lockers provided added more peace of mind to the stay.

The showers had a lot of mold. Wasn’t comfortable taking a shower. I get it we all get mold in the shower, but there are also ways to get rid of it. Didn’t feel like they take good care of their facilities, which is a bummer. Shower door was also half broken and the sink had not hot water. The surfaces on the other hand looked all clean, no weird smells.
Staff was friendly, beds were clean
