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...).

Everything was comfortable, they even had a vending machine for late night snacking! The cleanliness was ok. And it's a fair distance for Amsterdam that will cost you a 5€ ticket to get there

United StatesThe Lobby is very tiny and small so I did not find a lobby to spend time. Hostel is far from center. There is literally no night life near hostel. It is not cheap when it comes to proximity to city center. You should be at hostel in person for registration until 11:00pm so you can’t check in late and this caused me the lost of my whole and only night in Amsterdam. I had to be hotel at 11:00 pm for checking so I left the city and the night life and I went to hostel for checking at 11:00 pm that is so bad because if you wanna go back to city center you have to spend a lot of time and effort.
It was very clean. I give the hostel 5 stars in terms of cleanlines

United StatesThere are no showers on the first floor so you must gather all your things, your towel etc and walk downstairs right by the lobby to shower, this was very odd. The toilets could do with a little up keeping. Also it is one man's bathroom for the entire floor so god forbid you stay on a fully booked night. Obviously quite far from amsterdam so difiicult to get a lot of things done. Almost all the affordable supermarkets and shops in the area close at 6pm with a couple closing at 8, which is awful if you're checking in at night and need to buy groceries.
The individual pods with the curtain at the end gives the allusion that you are in your own private room. Many amenities. Modern rooms. Friendly reception and staff that speak multiple languages. Overall pleasant stay. Friendly guests.

GermanyI stayed in the all-girls room. The door did not have a lock on it and upon bringing the staff’s attention to that I was told that if anyone comes into the room, the staff would be able to see through the cameras and “give the guy a smack on the face”. I don’t see much professionalism in such a reply and I don’t see why a room is literally left without a lock. The room was awfully close to the common area in which people were talking loudly until 2am. The hostel also didn’t have a kitchen — not bad in itself but would’ve been nice.

Like the town, stylish design in hostel, nice room, in capsule bed was warm and silent, you make your bed by yourself and take it off after, the mattress was too soft for me, pillow and duvet were good

I liked most the people who worked there. .If You come there first time they explain You everything from the ground to the top floor. Personal in hostel very polite and helpful rare nowadays. They have very good manners and can resolve every situation and problem with professionalism. Especially I like mention Salvatore and Brenda.

Can give You the good advice about Netherland and Amsterdam..Don,t afraid to turn to them if You had some question They always have good answer. Brendan . Francesco and Cicero too can help You . Don t hesitate to turn with them with Your questions. Its shopping . orientation some small problems wich happened on the way in Your every day dealings.

CanadaOverall it was good, all things considered. The rooms were small and not a lot of space to fit everyone's luggage in it. The whole place is a bit small, the "kitchen" areas just have a fridge, kettle and a tiny counter top. The pods don't have a shelf, but they have a pocket with a net but stuff falls through it since it's a net. The shower room does not seem to have ventilation so it's just humid in there, and they also use wayyy to much fake perfume smelling things, it was super over powering and hard for me (but I am not at another hostel in Netherlands and I think that maybe is a thing here? The use of cheap scent things that are super powerful and not great for people who are sensitive to smells)
Staff were super friendly & you could do bike rentals from them.
