Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

SwedenThere is only one (1) micro in the kitchen which is very little for so many guests. The guests need to hand wash their dishes which is very good. But it is impossible to get them clean especially if you used oil on your food, as there are only cold water. Physical laws says you need warm water to fully remove grease.
The atmosphere is very nice. The cleaning staff makes a very good job. The staff in the reception are very friendly and service minded. A lot of common areas exists, so you have plenty of space to sit and chat with other guests. The breakfast is good. I like that there are free dinner some nights, etc. The kitchen area is nice, but there are improvements that can be made. (See answer on my next question)

United KingdomI found it quite noisy not just from my roommates but from outside at night. my room was by an alleyway and there was constant noise. Not the Green Tortoises fault however there is a huge drug abuse problem in downtown Seattle which as a visitor from Europe I found quite shocking. Lots of low level crime associated with drug abuse.
Staff were great, especially Tony! Location is a very good, 20 min walk to King Street Train station. and several car rental places within a 10 min walk in case you wish to rent a car to go further afield.

United States of AmericaThe pillows were a bit too flat, and the door hinge to our room was very loud/squeaky, which made it hard not to disturb others who were sleeping late at night or early in the mornings.
Affordable, clean, and comfortable hostel. We were in a co-Ed room and felt safe and secure the whole time. Noise level from the street was surprisingly low, and each. Ink was equipped with ample outlets, a fan, a lamp, and privacy shades. Mattress was fairly comfortable, staff was super friendly, and the common spaces fostered connecting with other guests, but also had quiet spaces to read. Bathrooms were clean, convenient, and spacious. There were also some sort of community event happening each evening we were there, including free beer from the front desk one night.

United States of AmericaAll the stairs to climb up to the entrance with my suitcase😩😂. It wasn't that bad though, but something to keep in mind if stairs aren't your thing. There is no elevator. The light at my bed was out so I couldn't use that. Everything else was great!
My friend booked the hostel so I booked it for my one night before she arrived out of convenience. Didn't look it up or anything, but was very impressed! The location is perfect, right next to Pike Place Market, and walking distance from public transportation (bus and train) and car rental companies. Fun events for guests like ice cream social or pub crawl. The staff were all so friendly and helpful. Lots of common area space to study, hang out, work, eat. Huge kitchen with all the amenities. The rooms were spacious and I liked that they had a sink! There were a ton of bathrooms, and they were clean with nice showers. The luggage storage under the bed was HUGE! It fit my mid-sized suitcase. Definitely take your own locks though and a small microfiber towel if you don't want to rent!
