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...).

United States of AmericaBut dont lock anything up in the room downstairs, they dont lock the room and I had things stolen from my suitcase stored there. If you leave it in your room only the people in your room have access to it. Downstairs everyone has access. The door is not locked, it's not even closed. But it is one of the most thought out hostels I've ever stayed in, other than that room. Just dont bring too much.
The place was very organized. The beds had their own lights and plugins. There was a place under the beds for luggage.

United States of AmericaAn option for good coffee would be nice.
Staff was pleasant and the shared bathrooms were well kept. They continually checked to ensure needs were being met. Located in the heart of downtown without being in the middle of the chaos that can happen. Even better priced than expected.

CanadaIt would have been helpful to have a table or something in the room where we could put our backpacks, clothes and other items, rather than the floor or the chair in the corner. Also, sound travels quite well through the hostel, it was quite loud until late at night due to the bar, but a good tradeoff for the location & price!
The check-in and checkout process was smooth and simple. We got the King room and it was spacious, with a large bed, two bedside tables and a chair. The bathroom was stocked with towels, soap, shampoo and body wash. Everything was quite clean. Also at the bar there are seats and space to work if you need to.

United States of AmericaThe pillows are very flat so bring your own.
The property is 10 minutes from the union station, I wouldn’t walk alone though at night as a solo female. The area will make you a little uneasy at night time if you’re alone but other than that great location. Staff is really chill and the bar is a fun place to sit and hang out.

RomaniaOn Tuesday March 12, at 7:30 a.m. the kitchen and the small relaxing space on the side were still locked. There was not even the possibility to drink some water before leaving the hostel to visit the city.
I liked the building, the room, the bed, the bathroom, the shower & the complimentary coffee. And of course the location! Everything was very comfortable and up to my expectations.

TurkeyI paid for the locker, small fee but still that would be good to know in advance. Also, good luck in understanding how to lock/unlock, since the locks are a bit confusing. Even the staff had to try multiple times. But she was very kind overall, so I wouldn't think this as too much of a problem :)
The hostel was very clean as compared to many hostels i stayed in Europe. Also, it was not crowded at all (in late January). Beds were super comfy and the room was spacious. It is a historic building and they carved some sections of the plaster walls to show the red bricks under it, I think the owners are respectful to its history. I liked how they had digital keys to each room, to provide better safety. Location is superb, very central in the downtown! They have a nice bar area, as well as Ophelias downstairs. We attended a concert there and stayed at the hostel upstairs for the night. That was very convenient.

United States of AmericaThe bathrooms were super clean. They didn’t have towels though and the shower head had mold on it. The wallpaper was also torn exposing degrading drywall. It kind of went with the rustic aesthetic though.
Check in was super easy. The location wasn’t bad. A bit of a walk in middle of Winter from the train station but it was pretty.

United States of AmericaKitchen was filthy and cookware was in bad condition when I used it to cook dinner. I wanted to cook breakfast at 6:30 AM, ahead of my Amtrak departure, but the kitchen was locked up, and a call to the listed number merely rang the phone behind the vacant front desk. Fortunately, I had prepared for the eventuality. The hostel's advertisement as "upscale" is disingenuous. The entrance staircase is extremely worn-out. Bunks have electrical outlets, but no storage shelves and no privacy curtains.
Showed up early, staff welcomed me and secured my bags in the back room. Location is close to downtown Denver. If you want to drink and party, this is a great place, as the hostel bar stays open until the wee hours of the morning. Bed was reasonably comfortable, and the bathroom was recently remodeled. Keycode entry to rooms and the bathroom provided security - but don't leave your wallet in your room when you go to take a leak!

United KingdomA long and steep flight of steps when you enter. Hardly accessible and tough even with a bigger suitcase There is not only a disco underneath and a bar with open doors and music until 11pm, the hallways also have loud music until 2am. The receptionist says it is part of the design. He readily gave me earplugs when I complained but it did not help much. This deducted a lot from an otherwise great experience.
The atmosphere is great, the rooms and shared bathrooms clean. I was even lucky to be alone in a 4-bed room
