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...).

PolandOn a sunny day it was horribly hot in the bedroom, there's no aircon and the window can't be fully opened. The temperature got bearable only in the early morning, I couldn't sleep until like 5 am. Water pressure in the female bathroom was very low. The pillow case was dirty
A bed with dark curtain gives privacy and protects from light. There's enough space for everybody in the bedroom, bathroom and kitchen

FranceA board with the month's activities is present in the games room. Consider watching it. It's not very visible and so we missed the pub crawl event where we would have loved to go. In addition, it is very good for working but more complicated to make friends, people go there mainly to work. We did not think to ask for our cash deposit at the end of the stay and it was not returned to us directly when we returned the keys. Fortunately we still had a friend there. Thanks to the hostel for finding a solution but it would be nice to give it back automatically at the end without us having to ask for it.
It was very clean, quiet and well located. There are games that are available for free. We are safe and staff are available all day and night..

ItalyThe only thing that disappointed me was the “shared kitchen” area: it only had tables with microwaves and small ovens. As an Italian, I was expecting proper stovetops to be able to cook.
Everything was fine – clean bathrooms with hot water and rooms that were not too warm. Privacy was generally okay, except for the fact that some female staff members entered the male dormitory for maintenance work without even knocking.

AustriaThe location has a lot of potential but feels a bit empty and sparsely furnished. It could easily be a lot cosier and comfortable

IrelandThe 2 beds dormitory was very small room and the lockers under the bed is very very small, my backpack (or if you are travelling with a luggage) would never fit there. Since I was on a same room as a friend we had no issues to leave everything outside. There is also no curtain on the windows, so if you are changing clothes in the room, all the neighbours will see you.
Hostel was nice, it's a hostel after all. Staff were very friendly. The outside it's kind of durty and old but that is fine also. Just stayed for one night.

LatviaOn the website it is mentioned that there is a shared kitchen, although in reality (as far as we were aware and knew) there wasn't one, only a snack bar, so we couldn't make any food and had to go to convenience stores all the time. Another downside is that there isn't an elevator, only stairs, so if you have a heavy luggage, best to train your muscles beforehand. Be aware that there is a possibility/chance of living with strangers/a stranger if you book, for example, a 6-people bedroom for 5 people. The location itself is a bit sketchy, no surprise, there are many homeless people around, it's very trashy, unclean, but most of the people are nice nonetheless, just going out alone is a bit scary.
I liked the atmosphere and the reception, they were really helpful and nice. The terrace was nice, aesthetic, you could enjoy yourself to peace and quiet, hang out with your friends and enjoy snacks, a good card game and so on. The beds were enjoyable and were comfy for even tall people, it wasn't too hot or too cold. Although the location isn't the best, you can find all the transportations you need to get everywhere, most shops are all close to each other, so you don't have to walk far at all.

AustraliaThe room was very basic. While the bunk bed was simple, it was comfortable enough. But the room was quite hot, with no air moving. Fans would be a great addition, given the current summer heat! Maybe a chair, small table, and extra hooks would add so much to the appeal of the room!
The reception crew were great, check-in was a breeze, and once you get your bearings, it's easy to find your way round! Great well equipped kitchen, dining area, and lounge options around the place. The bathroom areas are big and roomy, but the shower plumbing could be better. So good to have a laundry, but expect to stand in line! Buses are close by, or take a 20 min walk to town. Easy!

United KingdomCheck in was really slow, waiting over an hour with a buzzer to check in. Also they closed the showers for cleaning around 8am in the morning. They were other showers use but it was an even further walk from the room.
There was a basic kitchen, with a good size dining area. The location was good, and easy walk into Dublin or close to bus and tram links. The laundry facilities were really helpful and it had good wifi

United KingdomIt was very noisy - at all times of night and day. Appreciate that customers will be coming and going, but all the doors seemed to loudly slam shut, and conversations in other rooms and the hand driers in the communal bathrooms could be heard au the bedrooms. I barely slept because of this. Some sound proofing would be great!
Friendly and helpful staff. Simple check in process. Much cheaper than Dublin hotels!
