How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewPros: Late check in with zero problems Lockers and luggage storage Kind reception in the morning Clean facilities and towels for showering 11am checkout compared to 10am at other places
The mattress dips in the middle and not the most comfortable and the bed are very squeaky but manageable considering I only booked for a single night.

Verified review*Extremely Disappointed — Avoid This Place* My experience with this property was unacceptable from start to finish. First, I received a confirmation for a 4-bed room, exactly as I had booked. Later, I was asked to confirm a 2-bed room at double the price — which seemed highly suspicious. When I refused, they suddenly informed me that the system had made an error and I was now placed in an 8-bed dormitory. They offered me three different discounts to convince me to accept this change, each lower than the previous one, which made it clear that it wasn't a system issue but deliberate manipulation. The property itself is in terrible condition. The electrical installation is dangerous, with cables and extension cords running along the floor. The bathrooms were dirty. On top of that, the apartment is located on the third floor with no elevator, something not mentioned anywhere in the listing. As if that wasn't enough, the day after check-out they harassed me with multiple calls asking when I would come to collect my luggage, even though we had already discussed it. I would never recommend bb this place to anyone. It was the worst experience I’ve had during my entire trip.
Chill out, man!

Verified reviewthe location is great and the bathroom with enough space. it's flexible for check-in check-out. the price is good compared to the location.
the AC was super strong so it's was cold at night. and there's just the little kitchen as common area which is not ideal for the atmosphere and meeting people.

Verified reviewVery friendly staff and helped with anything we needed. Location was excellent and the amenities were great. The people staying were overall really social and nice.
Lots of stairs to get up into the property but not much you can do about that.

Verified reviewI liked the location a lot
Air Conditioner wasn’t working, no refund was given, the hostel is on 4th floor by stairs and looks very spooky :D Anyways, later the AC was fixed by a technician after a lot of back and forth conversation, and the owner even said to our question that why didn’t you give us a working AC remote or a functional AC, this is unfair, she said “life is unfair” Not apologetic at all, i did not like her rudeness but in the end the staff working in the hostel, was kind. Btw 100 euros per night for a room is diabolical
We are in the service industry, not the SERVANT industry and we refuse to be bullied and extorted for refunds. The issue was addressed immediately after you reported it.

Verified reviewLocation is nice, staff were friendly and helpful, they provide locker with key. I met other travelers there they were friendly and fun.
It needs proper cleaning, specially the kitchen, There is no common area, beds are very noisy, no privacy at all. Only 2 bathrooms in the hostel for everyone.

Verified reviewPerfectly located in the old city centre! I stayed in a 6 bed dorm. Sadly, I got a top bunk. Didn't like that at first, but the sleep was actually good.
Needs a bit of "face lift," but that also comes with time! Overall, there are no negative remarks
