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.).

LithuaniaThe mattress in female dorm was not great. Barely any wifi in dorms on the 3rd floor (good in shared spaces). No towels.
The location is the best!! Staff speak perfect English which made it super easy. Shared kitchen facilities. Shared bathrooms were never cramped.

ArgentinaThe bunk beds move a lot and the mattress is very thin.
Good affordable hostel. The bathrooms were clean and empty at all times. The kitchen is well equipped and there's a 7-11 just across the street so you can have anything you need in no time, without spending a lot if money. The beds have curtains, which is perfect for privacy. Also you can get more pillows for free.

IsraelNot enough space to hang clothes at the showers, pretty tiny. Hot water takes too long to start.
Great stay. WiFi was good. There’s an elevator, washing & drying machines and you can also hang your wet clothes. There’s are 5 floors, we were 4 girls in the room, there were 4 showers and 2 toilets at my floor, a huge full body size mirror. There’s a nice kitchen with free tea, a TV and lots of seats. You can leave luggage before check-in. There’s a 7/11 in front of the entrance, very convenient. The area was good. You can sit on the roof if you’re waiting for laundry and theres a nice view. There are codes for the main entrance & each room so you don’t have to carry a key. Thank you 🥰

SwitzerlandVery thin cheap mattress, you feel the wood through it. Not a firm mattress, just a flimsy one. Wooden bed creaks when you move. Not social, and no comfortable common area. No chairs to sit in room either. When cleaning, they air out the rooms with open doors, so the room is going to be open to everyone for hours. Shower/toilet open to hallway and mixed gender. 2 toilet and 4 showers, which are very small inside, not much space to keep things dry from splashes or to get dressed. And the moment you step out you are in the hallway with security cameras. Overall You just feel like going to the next family mart to chill instead. Doesn't feel comfortable.
Every box checked for a hostel. But no soul at all. Didn't feel very comfortable. So for a night it's okay.

ItalyThe first night I was in a big room with a big window looking at the street. The street is quiet. The second night - that I booked directly with them - they moved me to a different room with a tiny window overlooking the inside patio.
Very good location. Closed to many attractions and to the train station. Clean. Comfy bed. Free tea and coffee. Big communal area. A tuned guitar.

Best thing about the hostel is the location: 10 mins away from the Taichung train station and other famous spots such as miyahara and second market. Right opposite a 711 too. Facilities are generally clean, defo value for money. Joined a free walking tour showcased on one of their posters, not organised by the hostel itself but the tour was AMAZING and would highly recommend
