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

PortugalNothing to complain about!
Such an affordable place but with amazing service! The rooms are simple but super clean, and the hostel is well-organized. We booked the Ijen tour through them, and it was smooth and totally worth it. The staff even sent us recommendations for local food and places to visit before we arrived, which was a really nice touch!

GermanyThe only thing that could be improved is the consistency in their responsiveness online. I tried messaging ahead to confirm a few details, but didn’t get a reply until the day I checked in
I had a really memorable stay at this hostel, thanks in large part to the warm and genuinely helpful staff. From the moment I arrived, I felt like more than just a guest they took the time to explain everything, gave me a map, and even recommended a local food stall I ended up loving.

Vietnamsingle curtain does not fully cover bed sides, cold shower only, and the weather is quite cold, dorm soundproof is so so, you can hear outside quite well, the sockets on my bed is awkwardly facing outside, no place outdoor to hang dry clothes yet.
Ewan and other staff made a great impression on the place, I really like the spacious dorm, kitchen, water dispenser, large front office area. All is nice, clean. I already stayed at another hostel managed by zzZ and it was also really convenient, the nice management from them made these places become my go-to.

ArgentinaMy big problem was that there was always too much light in the room, so I had a bit if trouble sleeping. It would be good to get some good blindings so the room can be darker at night

GermanyDorms are basic and a bit loud because it was filled with 10 people
Every wall, corner, and common space is covered in vibrant art and handmade furniture—it felt more like an art gallery than a hostel. It was super photogenic and definitely the most unique place I’ve stayed so far.
