Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

AustraliaIn the dorms the beds were extremely squeaky so we moved to a private room on the late night. Very little privacy in the shower area, doors while weren’t see through would be an upgrade. Often there were men in the girls bathroom.
Good location central to train station, restaurants and bars. Staff were helpful and friendly. Daily breakfast was cheap and laundry facilities very handy.

United KingdomMy only criticism would be that I found the bed was rather uncomfortable, mattress offered little support and "bedding" was the thinnest duvet I've ever seen - that didn't matter tho' as it was a very hot few days!
Great location, close to Warschauer Strasse S/U Bahn stations, nice quiet area, very friendly staff, well appointed single room with it's own shower and sink.

New ZealandSound from the shared bathrooms travelled through to the bedroom, woke up a few times to people when they were coming home at midnight. Carry suitcases up stairs (not a biggie for us, but may be for others with disabilities)
Great location. Within 10 min (easy) walking to the metro & main roads. The room was spacious with plenty of space to put x2 suitcases. Access to washing machines, dryer & a coffee machine. Awesome security at the hostel. You can tell they’ve taken active steps to make sure people are safe & secure.

SwedenThe toilets and showers were not that pleasant, especially on the first floor.. Also the hostel not providing guests with soap/schampoo in the showers was disappointing. Beds in my room (004) were super squeeky which was a bummer but earplugs solved it
Staff were super chill and helpful, same goes with the roommates i had! They also have a bar at the entrance which is a nice way of meeting new people if you're into that My bed was surprisingly comfy Very cheap place to stay in :)

GermanyWe had a slight hiccup during checkin. We arrived early so we were to get access to the room and the common bathrooms till our checkin. We were told that the room isn’t available. Since there was plenty time to checkin, we decide to use the locker service (€2) to store our bags and head out but then the lockers were full. Later the property checked us in. We could have done that right when we came and saved us 1 hour to trying to freshen up and change in the common area toilet.
The room was spacious and clean. Close to a station with great connectivity and also to good and party joints.

NetherlandsThe radiator was on constantly so it got a bit hot in the room sometimes. But we did not ask the staff to turn it down so that is partially our fault.
We booked a private room and we had so much space! Much more than we expected. The location was also great, close to the train station (we came to Berlin by train) and close to many good restaurants.

United KingdomUnfortunately when i arrived at the hostel, the female staff member who i spoke with was very rude, condescending, and i was genuinely shocked. It was a really bad way to start my visit to Berlin, especially after a long trip and as i was travelling alone. It tainted my stay at the Sunflower, but the rest of the staff seemed more approachable and attentive. I just got unlucky here i guess!
This hostel is in a fantastic location and only a short walk from public transport links, making it easy to get to get around and a simple trip from the airport. The area feels residential being off the main road but is close to many bars, RAW, the eastside gallery, Berghain, and there is a supermarket on the next block, making it a great base for your visit to Berlin. The communal areas are welcoming and a good place to meet people if thats whats your after. Clean room, strong wifi, great hot shower.
