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 reviewI think the location and price of this hostel is unbeatable.
But there of course is tradeoff. It feels damp, there for sure is black mold, beds and pillows are uncomfortable, common space is small, problems with getting room code as we noticed few of people during our stay knocked on outer door to be let in. It is not clean, everything is old and broken. I think the owner should fix this thing up a bit and make sure it is cleaned properly, it would do wonders for reviews. I bet people would be ok to pay more as well.

Verified reviewThey cancelled my reservation the day I was supposed to get there. I went there but no one was there. I tried to contact them via phone and email but no response from them. It put me in trouble as it was a long weekend and I hardly could find another place to stay.

Verified reviewI enjoyed leaving this hostel.
Bins had been overflowing for a couple days by the looks of it, generally dirty, showers spilled out into hallways (flooring was obviously water damaged and likely mouldy underneath), upon arrival was emailed entry codes and told to pick a free bed, there were no beds with clean sheets, all still had sheets on from I don't know how many previous guests, lockers were insecure and I did not feel safe using them so had to sleep with my bags (located outside rooms and had screw heads accessible from the outside so any could be easily opened with a screwdriver), rooms didn't lock like they were meant to, pile of used bandaids in the corner of the shower, what looked like black mould on the ceiling. Overall dirty, unhygienic, insecure and just not good. Have photos of everything and will be filing for a refund.

Verified reviewWorst Experience ever! I 😤booked the hostel at 6:30pm and Target confirmed my stay. I arrived at 6:40pm. There was no one at the hostel and the doors were locked. I tried numerous times to call the phone number provided that said it was open to receive calls till 9pm. No answer. Phone was turned off. I waited by the front door for 1 hr! No one came nor did they email me the code for the front door like they were suppose too. I called booking and they told me they would try to contact the hostel. But I had to give them 1 hr to rely. So I waited. By this time 2 hrs had past. I got no phone call from booking or Target. At this point it was 8:30pm 😡 I finally received an email from Target saying they could no longer accommodate me. At this point it was nearly 9pm with no hotels available :/ it was stressful terrible experience. I’m still waiting for a refund from this place. Would recommend to anyone. Terrible service!

Verified reviewThe room, beds, and bathrooms exhibited visible mold, raising concerns about cleanliness and health standards. Several beds in the room had broken boards; despite reporting this issue, no action was taken. In one instance, a guest actually fell through a broken bed onto another person below, indicating a serious lapse in maintenance and safety protocols

Verified reviewIt was cheap. If you re only gonna stay one night and you need only a bed for the night, then this is okay. The outside door was always open. People were sleeping in common areas. At midnight someone broke into our room with physical force. But thankfully left without explaining why he did that. Toilets were dirty. And very small. It was impossible to do your business comfortably. Bathrooms were okay. Mine was clean. Bed was thin but at least clean. There was electricity outlets next to bed. Which is always great. Internet was not good. it took too long to upload photos and videos to instagram. There is no locker inside the room, no place to put your things. I kept my day backpack in the bed with me during the night. Others belongings were all on the floor. Lockers are on the hallway. But noone care enough to use their own number. The locked assigned to my bed was occupied. I took another random number hoping someone else wont break it. Fortunately nothing happened. I dont regret it. Cause i only use it to sleep. Left very early for hikes and came back and slept. If you need more from a hostel, look somewhere else.
Hostel personnel should spend more time in the hostel to keep it decent. Hostel have potential but need more security and cleaning.

Verified reviewBedding looked kinda clean, good location
No reception, gave us a room that is full, we had to search for free beds ourselves. Some of the lockers were broken, some was full of random things. At some point there was no toilet paper. Fridge full of nasty food, showers full with old razors and product botles. Beds didnt feel safe, they were loud, squeeky and vobely. We also helped other people to find free beds, because they also received a code for full room (not ours). No one answered the phone.

Verified reviewThe shower miraculously works. There’s a working fridge and a microwave.
Be prepared for: - Getting no pillow on your bed and using your backpack instead. - No power socket even remotely close to your bed. - Sockets in common spaces don’t work - so there is NO way of charging anything without begging other “lucky” guests to let you use their sockets - No window blinds and street lights just outside the window. - No A/C - Missing door handles, taps, WC flush buttons
