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...).

GermanyNot very clean toilet. Missed the hostel vibe since I was alone. Felt a bit unsafe in the area at night, since i had to head to the convenience store because the hostel did not offer any drinking water.
Hostel one night for myself: was completely empty. Was allowed to store my stuff in the locker after checkout time

Indonesia- The neighborhood quiets down after 7 pm - Might not be ideal for solo travelers given its self-service setup, which could result in being alone in the building. Luckily, there were other guests during my stay, so I didn't end up alone. - The front of the hostel is entirely covered by glass. I suggest placing a blurred sticker on some parts of the glass for added privacy and safety. - A fan in the common area would be a great addition. - One of the showers needs a repair.
Comfy beds, clean bathrooms & toilets, clean towel, modern/minimalist vibe. They provide electric kettle, basic cutlery & plates, and a fridge stocked with cold beers and water bottles. Convenience store is just a 5-mins walk. Great for groups or those who prefer a quiet environment for a good night's sleep.

HungaryThere are some empty spaces in the hostel that could be used in a much nicer way, I was expecting somewhere to sit down, have maybe a coffee or just a common room in general. The hostel is small which is nice but I think there's room for improvement. I had received a very informative message on WhatsApp before checking in but once we got there the staff member was not very helpful. The bathrooms were not cleaned, although I think we were the only guests that day, so not much traffic. There were no lockers in the room where you could put your valuables or just your stuff in general.
Initially I liked the look of the hostel but judging by the pictures I was expecting a bit more. The pods/beds were nice and there was a shower with hot water.

DenmarkI didn’t realize it is a self check-in hostel, which should have been more clear on Booking.com. Ended up waiting for a while by the door, as I couldn’t get hold of the owner. However when I got in contact with them they were very fast to help me in. This could easily be avoided if guests are send the PIN prior to arrival with a message via booking.com.
Very friendly staff, who helps you answer any travel questions. I even had breakfast with a girl staying at the hostel helping the owner out - very nice! Only stayed one night, but was the only one there besides her - so very quiet (Medan is not a tourist city).

FranceThis hostel deserves more visibility. Almost every equipment for a good hostel is in there. Good mattress, curtains for privacy, lockers, bed lamp, towel, soap and shampoo, in a very nice architectural building! Only people are missing for a perfect vibe. Since there is only few people coming (I was alone during my stay), I can understand that the cleaning is not done everyday and toilet paper is missing, but I am sure this service was good when it was busy.

PolandSelf check in is horrible. The password to WiFi, which is on the door, is old. I read here comments that self check in is not working so I wrote to host before, but he answered 15 hours later when I didn't have a WiFi. Second thing is that I asked for taxi on airport and get back information that is not possible. I was begging host for help because I stayed in a strange city without any taxi 6 am on airport, not working taxi app ( for grab was to early, blue bird not working on my phone) and not possible to do phone call. Host reject to help me.. finally I order Gojek but situation was very stressful.
Clean, modern hostel. Bed are very comfortable with curtain and bottle of water. During my visit was only 4 people in hostel so was calm.

NetherlandsThe slogan 'More than just a bed for the night' is written on the door but it actually is precisely that. In our two-day stay we haven't seen any staff. The hostel has a self check-in process but this wasn't communicated to us. As a result we faced a closed door since we were travelling without an Indonesian SIM-card and couldn't contact the staff. There is a WiFi-network and password on the door but this network doesn't exist. Therefore, we were lucky there was another person in the hostel that could open the door for us, otherwise it would have been a great challenge to get into the hostel. Dorms, beds and showers are good but the rest of the hostel is completely empty and therefore there is zero atmosphere. A good bed for one night in Medan if there was staff or a decent message (for example via Booking) about the process of checking in.
