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...).

PakistanThere's 4 floors with stairs to climb for the some of the rooms. No elevators. The hallways with the pods smelt bad. Cleanliness overall of the showers/rooms was bad. No extra facilities like a water fountain or refrigerator on each floor. The club next door had a band playing through the night. Luggage storage isn't very organized or enough: it's just shelves where everyone put their stuff together. Very hard to use. Look at the flag next to my name. Yes. This was bad by my standards.

SpainThe rooms are from the second floor and above and on the first floor there is a music pub. The music is so loud that, even though they give you ear plugs, it's impossible to sleep. The music is playing from the evening to sunrise.... There are only two showers (female bathrooms) so be patient...
It's near most touristic attractions. The staff was really nice.

Vietnam30 bucks for basically a coffin in a room with 17 others. not unusual for Singapore i guess, but i guess thats also the problem. bathroom was pretty dirty, staff were about as friendly as most other people I met there. it kind of reminded me a bit of a prison, but one you had to pay for.

Bluewaters Pods 38 was absolutely a great location to stay. The staff made my stay so much more fun, thank you for all your time and all those conversations! The showers were nice and clean. The pod itself gives plenty of privacy. It's in a great location. And I can recommend the whisky café next door!

VietnamThere is no elevator so you will have to carry your suitcase from 2 to 4 floors up. The aroma they use inside the dorm room is too strong, sometimes I had a hard time breathing. They turn off the light in the dorm room around 10pm so if you need to get stuffs from your luggage (outside of your pod), be prepared to scramble in the dark. The place is 700m away from the nearest MRT station so it might be very hot to walk to the station during summer time.
Although the shared female restroom was not on the same floor with my dorm room, it was clean and well ventilated. The shared bathrooms are clean as well, with great water pressure and heat. I also like the shared dining area because there is refillable water, free coffee, tea, milo and snacks everyday.

United KingdomIt’s more about the fellow travellers who are clueless about personal hygiene. The sink area always full of hair n beards cos one wouldn’t clean it after use, not the hostel fault though.
Great location, only few minutes walk to MRT station, and walkable to Chinatown too. Lots of place to eat and shops in the area. I like the fact that it’s close to clubs and pubs but you can’t hear the noise at the hostel! The shoeless concept in the hostel keeps the place really clean. Nice comfy bed too, I like the place so much I extended my stay twice :)
