Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

Well-located, accessible by public transport or by foot to the main station and downtown area. Friendly staff.It was ok for the price level in Belfast. It is a simple youth hostel but it was good for a short stay.

United KingdomVery clear instructions on room facilities emailed before our arrival, however I think a non slip shower mat should be there
Staff at reception absolute gentlemen, simple check in procedure completed in 5 mins max, our bags had been safely stored beforehand, however the 13.30 check in was essential for us as we had a 3pm function in the North of the city, I was really happy with the price we paid for our ensuite room.

United KingdomWe had issue with a smell in the room that came from the carpet. We had to leave the window open most of the time. Not sure if we would have managed to do this in the winter. There was some noise in the corridor at night which was not great.
We stayed in a twin room which is efficient. There is a sink in the room. Staff were fantastic. They helped us in every way, from swift checking in to providing information about the accommodation and the nearby amenities. Location is excellent as in Belfast City centre and across from a bus tour company. Breakfast in the Causeway Café next door was fantastic. Staff at the café are wonderful too. The free tea and coffee facility is a great idea.

IrelandThe cleaning was just okay, nothing in particular was wrong, but i do wish id brought flip flops, even though i had a privet shower. Outside my room at night i could hear others walking around, which is what you would expect from a hostel, but i could also hear others yelling on the street after a night out. I felt safe, it was just loud.
The staff where friendly and assisted me to check in. I checked in late and they where very accommodating. My room was up to standard. The location was very central and easy to walk around Belfast from.

United KingdomThere was a very annoying buzzing noise we could hear from our room the entire stay, it sounded like some sort of electrical unit in another room, made it difficult to sleep. A small bench in the room for sitting on or placing objects would have been appreciated too.
Clean, modern facility with lots of amenities. Appreciated the kitchen and the cafe next door. Staff were lovely, very helpful and friendly. A 10 minute walk to city centre and nearby take-outs and stores right around the corner. Everything worked well, and a great price. (If you take a shower, I recommend leaving your clothes outside the door so they don't get wet!)

MyanmarThere is no shampoo or shower gels. The bathrom provide less water shower. But I don’t mind about those because we paid lower prices compared with other hotels.
Me and my mom stayed at Belfast International Youth Hostel for 2 nights when our first time visit to Belfast. The location is great , about 10 mins walk to the europa buscenter and city center. There is a lot of restaurants and grocery stores around there. The hostel kitchen is quite systematic, they provide label which we can attach on our foods and we could have microwave dinner there. Our room is a twin bedroom with private bathroom. The room has enough space for us and has a good view of the mountains. The beds are comfortable.

United KingdomThe staff were very friendly from arrival to departure and helped us with whatever we needed. The room was the perfect base for us to explore the city, and we couldn't fault the location being well linked by public transport, but with plenty of bars and restaurants close by if we didn't want to venture far that night.

AustraliaThe key card system was pretty ordinary to be honest. We had to get our card recalibrated a couple of times as it just wouldn't work when we went to scan into our room.
The staff were really friendly and happy to help. The location was quite good, only a 10 minute walk into the city centre and conveniently next to a cheap cafe.
