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.).

It's clear that the hostel was created by people who have put a lot of effort into it and know what they're doing. The staff is very kind and competent! Best regards and special mentions to Sisi, Lyanne, the cleaning lady, and the volunteers!

NetherlandsWhile this hostile allready facilitates a lot in building a little community and the fundament for that is allready present. I feel that this hostile has great potential to function as a guide for the city. So maybe it would be possible to utilize that and organize more group events. (in the city offcourse, the hostile should stay the peacefull oasis that is is). Such as walking tours, going out to events etc. If the hostile facilitates in guiding events throughout the day, I think you would have something special that makes you stand out from other places.
A lot of props to the hard working Hostel staff that takes the time and effort to make every traveler feel at home. As soon as you leave the door you're in the middle of the city. While at the same time the place provides a calm environment where you can rest and (as the name says) become Zen again. You can clearly see that all the employees are working from a shared vision to make this place the best. In the end it is all about sharing a space and have a great time.

United StatesSisi was an enormous help I could not believe she started only a month ago.. super knowledgeable about the city where I needed to shop things to see she was the best part of the trip… luckily I didn’t get to do everything. I wanted to do only two nights, so it gives me a reason to return and I will return to this Hostel mainly because of Sisi….

RomaniaThe mattress was really old, I didn't sleep very well and kept waking up multiple times during the night. Same goes for the pillow, it was small and soft and didn't really help with anything. Otherwise, nothing to complain about
Had everything you need, including lockers, AC, even an iron. Was clean, including the kitchen. Everything was really good, as advertised or better. Really great value for money and the location was also good, and quite easy to find once I arrived.
