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...).

NetherlandsThe hostel was cheap so I had low expectations but it was definitely not clean. The tiles in the bathrooms were painted over and the paint peeled off leaving a moldy situation. The cleaning crew scrubbed and tried to clean everything but it's too old and needs a renovation.
The location is great. Good neighborhood with good restaurants and some bars. Feels safe also for solo travelers and is close to everything.

AustraliaThe bathrooms on level 3 werent great. The shower head fittings were too high, so it meant when you turned on the water all your belongings would get wet and the second shower space you couldnt even connect it to a fitting so I had to position the shower extentor over my shoulder to prevent from spraying water everywhere.
I arrived during the power outage and was able to communicate with reception thru whatsapp. Even though most services were down, they were very accommodating and helped where possible while I had restricted internet service. Once the power was back on, it was great. The hostel is located in a great part of the city and its so easy to get around. There are heaps of great cafes and restaurants at an arms throw.

United KingdomKitchen was small, i dont cook so not a big deal for me, they only have a microwave fyi. My Bunk bed mattress too thin, hollow and they could maybe look to add curtains on the beds as that is becoming standard now in hostels.
Perdo, the host is super helpful and look to make your stay enjoyable. If not for him might be a meh experience, but i did enjoy having him around as company and watching movies when i was in the living room. Location is great in the old town. Bathrooms are decent for hostels.

Netherlands"Unfortunately, my experience at this hotel was not as expected. I had an issue with the receptionist, who was not polite and did not handle the interaction professionally. I hope the hotel management works on improving customer service and training staff to be more courteous. While other services might be good, the first impression is very important."

RomaniaI can’t tell about the dorms, I stayed in a double room. The room was definitely old and not refurbished for a long time… there is a strong smell of mold pretty much everywhere. Maybe that s why the place did not feel clean. A lot of noise came from outside at night, at least in that room.
The guy at the reception is very nice, the reception looks nice. The location of the property is great. I payed little money for a private room with private bathroom.

PortugalThe noise coming from the nearby pubs was overwhelming. It was impossible to get a good sleep with so much noise. The hostel is located in the heart of the night-life area.
Check-in was OK as I arrived past office hours. There was a housekeeper to hand me the room and the locker keys. The kitchen was open 24/7.

GermanyNo curtains :( somewhat hostile older dude who seems to live there for longer and made me feel very unwelcome while using the kitchen (no stove also). On one other note: I was put in a room as only female with 7 men, half of which where drunk. I just want to give the input to the staff that especially for very young girls I hope you can take that into consideration in the future and have a nonautomated look at your booking software and think about safety and wellbeing of guests :)
Nice staff, clean enough beds in my opinion. Cool balcony with a view

United StatesThe only short coming was the lack of a kettle in the kitchen. As an early riser, the lack of coffee was difficult for me (I carry instant as a last resort). There was the bottom electric part of the kettle but not the kettle itself. Probably someone had taken it to their room and it was not the fault of the hostel.
Filipa greeted us and was great! We stayed in a private room with a bunk bed. My 80 yo mother slept on the bottom bunk and was happy as can be. The room and linens were clean and comfortable. The location was perfect for us. The price is really good.
