Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1–10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate "subscores" in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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...).

SingaporeCan be noisy at night but not past 10pm. Also noisy in the morning with cleaning/ delivery vans. Air conditioner in room is also pretty loud.
Close to the beach. Convenience shop round the corner. I stayed in the 4 bedder female dorm and it has a small kitchen area and its own bathroom. Good for one night stay.

United States of America1) the water in the shower was not that hot. 2) the individual lockers were so small that they couldn't fit a medium backpack. 3) the beds do not have curtains, so there is no privacy at all. 4) the room only had one chair available for 16 people. So, if you were on the top bunk, you would have to sit on the floor. 5) they said that snorkels, beach chairs and umbrellas would be available, but I never saw them. Either there are none or there are few, because even in the morning there were only floats available. 6) there is a daily cost per towel, which is ridiculous. If I booked a bed for 7 days, there should be 7 towels, that's the minimum.
1) good location, tourist area, close to the beach and amenities. I felt safe. This hostel is frequented by tourists. 2) the rooms were cleaned daily. 3) good price and cost

United States of AmericaEntering the dorm room with the keypad provided was problematc. The numbers were poorly lit, and after struggling for quite a while I accidentally discovered that The handle had to be RAISED, not lowered. It would have been helpful if the friendly receptionist had taken a moment to mention this.
I liked that they supplied a towel in addion to the fresh linens, and that they allow guests to select their own bunk bed from what is available.

AustraliaAir con was noisy so one of the girls in the room decided for the 8 person dorm that we couldn't have it on. It was very warm and stuffy. The dude with the long hair at reception wasn't really a hostel vibe...maybe was having a bad day?? the guy with the short brown hair that ended up checking me in was awesome though and the blonde girl on checkout was lovely too.
Great location! Felt like a safe hostel. It isn't a party hostel so as long as your room mates don't talk throughout the night you will have a good sleep. The cleaning lady was lovely and did a great job daily.

South KoreaThe office was moving (done now) and it was a hassle for the staff. So there were inconvenient moments for guests as well. I wish they had communicated better with the guests. They have quiet time 10 pm to 7 am but people seem to not know the rules. We had to talk to the other guests about this. Hope the staff will emphasize on this when checking in.
It’s located in a safe area. 2 minutes walk to the beach and many restaurants too. Most of the staff are nice. Some of them are extremely helpful and kind. The picnic mats and the bodyboards are very useful (can ask the receptionist to rent or grab one from the kitchen). They rent you a towel -which I didn’t know/get in the beginning- so ask for one if you need.

FranceI thought that the rooms were not super clean. I would have appreciated a coffee maker in the kitchen instead of the reception. Think about buying your lock because it is not included with the locker.
I liked that it was very close to beach. The location was perfect, very close to Diamond Head. I thought that it was safe to have the Goki app to open the doors but at the same time you always have to have battery on your phone to not get locked out. The bed were comfortable.

GermanyHaving a fridge in the room is very convenient but both the aircon and fridge were relatively loud, which could be a bit annoying at night.
Amazing location right by the beach in Waikiki, and also only a 10 minute walk to the center of Waikiki with many shops, restaurants and cafes. The dorms were clean and much bigger than in most hostels, and had a small balcony and even a fridge in the room. Convenient entrance to the hostel and rooms with either an App or Code so there is no need to keep a key at hand. Bike / Scooter rental directly downstairs is also perfect to explore the island.
