Each 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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

I like the location, a bit away from the touristy centre so a little quieter and surrounded by a great range of restaurants and bars. These aren’t your usual hostel beds. It’s comfortable and homey. There are healthy breakfast options and hang out spaces, including a common use kitchen

South KoreaThe staff was a bit indifferent, and not there often enough to get a lock or check-out early. The breakfast was not completely put out until 15 minutes before it ended, which is not professional. $24 per night for a bed? Not sure what about that price doesn't deserve that the breakfast is ready to be served at the promised time. The last night, a mattress was put on the floor for an additional guest, instead of opening another room, which was ridiculous. The room was hot, cramped, smelled bad, and it hard to fit everyone's luggage.
The hostel is in the university neighborhood, and not far from the pick-up point for all the day bus trips. There was plenty of space to sit outside, or inside. The breakfast, when served complete, was good, and varied. The bathrooms are big, which is nice, so that you can move around in them.

GermanyWe experienced issues with the air conditioning. One night it was super cold, the other the A/C seemed to have been turned off completely. As we could not regulate it on our own we were dependent on the staff, which was very helpful, still, they were not always around. The toilets were really clean, the rest of the facilities not always so much. The lightbulbs in our room could be replaced as only one of five was working. Except for the yoghurt, the breakfast was quite limited: dry crackers and toast bread without a toaster is not really enjoyable, also the coffee was cold and not really drinkable, so we usually ended up in one of the nearby coffee shops for a second breakfast with some pastries. Adding a toaster and/or coffee machine would be a limited investment and make a huge impact.
The hostel was located in a super central location in the alternative and lively district of Exarchia. Bakery, coffee shops, bus station, bars, lookout from a hilltop, everything within a few minutes walk, still it was very quiet at night. The room was cosy and the beds were comfortable. We really enjoyed the yoghurt offered for breakfast. The staff was super helpful and friendly.

IsraelWhat made me uncomfortable was the lack of respect from the others I shared the room with regarding bedtime, around 10pm inside the room talking and laughing loudly, even though the Hostel has two areas for this on the lower floor, because we always arrive tired from the tour done during the day, and we simply wanted to sleep in time for the new day.
The place is excellent, nice atmosphere. In the morning simple but nice breakfast.

AustraliaWe had the front room, which overlooked the laneway, and we loved the outlook, but sleep was also was broken by the noise late at night/early mornings by revellers from the bars. Our room was also next to the front door, and some people had trouble opening it. Maybe a little push sign on the outside of the door will help people trying to yank it open instead of push, and clank the lock numerous times before figuring out how it worked. Not the staffs or owners doing, they were super welcoming, friendly and helpful. I'd still stay here again though.
My sister and I loved our 4 night stay here. The hostel has a very homely and friendly feeling, we were provided everything we needed, the breakfast ingredients offered was exceptional, loved the yoghurt and fruit and choice of teas. The area is funky with some nice bars and bakeries, and a mini marketnear by. We walked to all of the attractions near by. The bus stop is just up the lane way and got us wherever we needed. The lounge and rear court yard were a welcome spot to relax after exploring. We would definitely stay here again.

IsraelThe kitchen is tiny. Cooking facilities include a camping gas stove which is less comfortable. But fridge is available. For people coming with a suitcase, the location is approx. 20 min walk from the centre but the bus stop is just 2 mins. away.
Spotlessly clean hostel, with a unique vintage style, in a beautifully decorated victorian house, with high cielings and winding stairs. Every corner is well thought off and with a nice touch. The 3 women who run the place - are extremely friendly and helpfull who care about the hostel and its guests. Cozy living room, spacious dorms, simple yet comfortable beds, warm duvets and fully heated house. Even bathrooms feel as clean as at home. Free tea, coffee and milk and nice simple breakfast. Thank you!
