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...).

TurkeyIt's a great and clean hostel with everything you need for a short/long stay with reasonable price. The staff were so friendly and attentive. The breakfast was sooo yummy! It is in the center and 5 min. walking to any tourist destinations. The view from the terrace is fascinating!

GermanyBest hostel I stayed in Morocco in. Nice ambience, very clean, comfy beds, and a little bit of accessoires here and there that made the stay very pleasant (and that I was missing in other hostels), like a little shelf next to the bed or hooks in the shower.

SloveniaThat the front door closes at 2.00. I read that on booking, they didn’t even tell me when I checked in. The owner told me I have to write on whatsapp if I was coming later than 2.00. I did on 2 different numbers, but there was no reply. I was a bit sad and frustrated when I came at 3.00 (and when I left, I told them I was coming at that time) and the front door was locked, nobody was answering doorbell or phone.. So if it wasn’t for my friend, I would have to stay on the street….
It is a very nice hostel, one of the bests I have been to in Morocco. Very artish and comfortable and great place to meet new people. Location is also great. Breakfast was so nice..

GermanyThe cats‘ smell as I am allergic, they were very friendly but unfortunately everywhere. It was a bit noisy, as some not so respectful backpackers literally cried all night in the common areas, so it was challenging to get to sleep. Hostel may want to have stricter rules on bed time quietness.
Staff (Paul) so friendly, helpful and welcoming! He even helped to carry up my big suitcase! Also great facilities, spacious bathroom & kitchen. Very lovely breakfast with the traveller community, it was easy to mingle with fellow travellers. Also staff helped arrange the best Hamam in town :)

United KingdomOnly thing to mention is that the front door is locked at 2am every night.
Hostel was clean and comfortable. Staff were excellent and spoke a variety of languages and were helpful with printing boarding passes and arranging cab to airport. The bedrooms themselves were spacious and comfortable, the privacy curtains around the beds were a good touch and there was always good water pressure in the bathrooms. Roof terrace was great too.
