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...).

GermanyIt's not the cheapest place especially for a dorm room but it's a safe and clean place.
The dorm room is great with plenty of space. The beds have mosquito nets and there's an AC in the room. The terrace on the roof is perfect to chill. Breakfast is good too! It's clean and a safe place in a chaotic city. If you have to spend time in Nuakchot I can definitely recommend to stay in this hostel.

United StatesThis was a safe and comfortable place to begin and end my trip in Mauritania. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The staff were helpful and Sebastian, the owner, was very competent and trustworthy; open to answering any logistical questions. For one of the nights I was alone (I'm a woman in my 40s) and I felt entirely safe.

Czech RepublicOne of my soccer jerseys (shirts) wasn’t returned when I did laundry there. If you see one of the guys with an original 2024 West Ham jersey (kit) well…that’s why I didn’t rate it 10/10 but only 9/10…unfortunately I didn’t notice it until I left for Senegal.
I ended up staying here for 3 nights - lovely place, one of the best and last (if you’re heading south) with a hostel vibe (next one is in Freetown and then nothing until Ghana). The owner made some copies of my documents free of charge and in general even the guys there were very helpful.

DenmarkThe level of cleaning in the kitchen.
Perfect oasis in Nouakchott. I stayed in a private cabin on the roof. The bed wasn't super comfortable but I was very happy with the mosquito net and the hot shower. We were able to use the kitchen which was a big plus. Safe parking for my motorcycle another big plus. Really cool atmosphere and friendly staff.

United KingdomNice courtyard, lots of space, interesting guests. Great hot showers. So good! Sebastien can set you up with contacts in others places and converts euros at a decent enough rate. First stayed in the dorm, then the buglaow on the roof. Very airy. Comfortable. Staff on hand, very good and a safe place. Just get your French standards up when Sebastien is not around.
