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...).

Hong KongThe host didn"t show up when I arrived at the hostel to check in. He asked another guest to bring me to my bed and assign the locker to me too. The keys were given to me from the guest. Everything was so strange. The kitchen was in a mess. Luckily, the bathroom was large and the hot shower functioned well.
The location was close to city centre and got reach to all different kinds of restaurants and bars It's also close to the supermarket I finally met the host on the second day.

Lithuania- Communication with the personnel was not the best. I tried multiple times to call/text the personnel when I needed some assistance and nobody ever called me back. - Not dirty, but not the cleanest unfortunately. The whole area seemed messy - there were random bags of stuff left near the hotel doors, the stairwell was dark and dirty, the common area was full of random things (i have no idea if they belong to the guests or the hostel..), the bathrooms could be cleaner.. - Unfortunately, the crowd of the hostel was sketchy as heck. We stayed in a room with two teenager guys who arrived late at night, were drunk and kept on drinking, were shouting for a few hours, kept talking to me and my sister even though the lights were turned off and we were trying to sleep, asked us inappropriate questions…and overall they just smelled bad. In the morning downstairs I have met another guy who was wearing leggings and had a giant hole near his bum, that was a cherry on top of everything. Just weird vibes honestly.
- Location was great, a minute away from the main street.

GermanyThe vibe of the hostel was different than we know it from other hostels. It felt more like renting a room in a shared flat. The kitchen and common room were always a bit messy with leftovers and dirty dishes lying around. Also lots of other peoples towels and bath stuff (like toothbrushes and razors) in the bathroom, so there was no space left to hang up stuff while in the bathroom. The wifi mostly did not work at all. There was also no reception and it was not clear, who was responsible or who to go to with questions.
We were two people travelling together and booked a 4-bed room. Luckily, we had the room to ourselves. The hostel also provided a towel. Two bathrooms - one with shower and toilet and one only with a toilet. Location is great, close to the city centre.

PolandI've stayed in different hostels across Europe and on the cleanliness front I was a bit disappointed here. Plus my experience was spoiled due to something that was not in the control of the admin which I won't describe here

PolandI got here very early, around 7:30, and the reception was still sleeping, which I understand and I'm sorry for. However, if you arrive too early and fail to contact the reception, you will have to stand outside their house with no idea. At that day It was snowing heavily outside and I turned into a snowman. Fortunately, someone came out an hour later and let me in. Otherwise everything is fine and the staff are indeed friendly. I think whether the room is clean or not actually depends on what kind of roommate you meet. This has nothing to do with the hostel. I can feel that the hostel is doing its best to provide good services. I saw a Korean boy putting his socks on the table where we had food, that’s so disgusting and rude😠
I lived in the 10 peoples room which everyone is friendly and nice. This suite is equipped with living room, kitchen, toilet and bathroom. Surprisingly, the wall between the living room and the bedroom is very soundproof. People outside are chatting, listening to music or watching TV, but sleeping inside is not affected at all. Overall it's very cozy and comfortable to sleep in. Ooofcuz, The transportation here is indeed very convenient, and there is a very lively shopping street nearby, where there are many delicious restaurants, and you can also buy a lot of what you want, including Zakopane’s specialty cheese.

IndiaI reached before checkin time, and I couldn't even get in. No one was answering my phone calls or the doorbell. Finally, I could get in when a guest opened the door, fortunately. Some guest stole my money but that's my fault. I had the wallet next to my pillow. It was around 30 EUR.

PolandTo be honest quite cheap and small hostel with great location, however there are things to improve. For example we did not get towels and Wi-Fi was very slow. You are allowed to leave bags when your reservation is expired which is brilliant. When it comes to cooking everything is available. Rubbish is not taken out on time in the washroom.

PolandThe hostel was pretty dirty - bathrooms, kitchen and common "living" area were very messy and could use some cleaning. The door from our dorm didn't close completely (there was gap all naight in the door), and just behinf the door there is living room where people sat and talk most of the night, so we could hear everything in our room and it was very difficult to sleep in peace. Very annoying if you are planning to wake up next day early in the morning to go to the mountains. Only one bathroom with shower for whole hostel. Dirty and smelly bathroom.
Late check in is very convenient. Kitchen is equipped with all necessary supplies, appliances. Beds are quite comfortable. Sockets next to beds, lockers in the room. The room was quite big and spacious. The location of the hostel in the center is excellent.

United KingdomEverything was great until the last day , somebody stole one of my good quality hiking socks (I put 3 pairs to be dried up after a quick wash but only the branded one got chucked). Reported this to the owner but instead of checking their cctv he advised me to use lockers but wet socks have to be dried in open not in a locker that's a common sense thing. There are thieves in the hostel but he didn't look bothered by this. So I won't be recommending it due to lack of safety for your stuff in the premises. I doubt there are few people who are living there for longer as home they might be behind it but this was the first time something was stolen in a travellers hostel in my whole life experiences.
Everything was great for the first two days. The owner helped me with lockers when I had to go hiking. The location is great , enough facilities and good value for money. He was always approachable for queries and assistance.

United StatesThe kitchen and bathrooms were too small for the number of guests and were consistently dirty. Not sure why nobody has mentioned that the photos of the hostel aside from the bedroom photos are completely inaccurate. It's much smaller, darker, and less renovated than it appears (common spaces, bathrooms, kitchen).
The staff, although they said they weren't staff and just friends of the owner, were friendly and helpful.
