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 AmericaThe only thing I can say against this amazing hostel is the laundry facilities are very lacking for a hostel of this size. Only one dryer and one washer are working properly and the timing of both makes it very difficult to do laundry. Unless you have a few hours to potentially dedicate to doing laundry, I recommend skipping doing your washing here.
This is one of the best hostels I’ve stayed in, which is saying a lot since I stay in hostels nearly full time! The rooms were kept very clean, the beds are very comfortable, there are ample bathrooms in the hallway, and good sized lockers and many hooks to hang things in the room. The cafe on site is very useful and reasonably priced. The included breakfast of a bagel and a drink is great too! Every single member of the hostel and the cafe staff was so friendly! They really make a difference in the overall experience.

United States of AmericaMy roommate could have been a bit more considerate but that has nothing to do with the hostel - everything they did and provide was GREAT.
I loved the private bathrooms and HOT water - the rug was nice - towel provided, free to borrow as well as the lock. The locker was plenty big enough for my carryon and backpack - could've fit a bit more even. The sheets were clean, everywhere was clean really and it was a nice area of town - reminded me of Greek row of a college. I liked the comforter provided and the pillows were decent, even almost nice - best I have had lately. It was quiet - the staff was super nice and it was great that they were understanding and accommodating about my request for a bottom bunk due to fear of heights. The breakfast was a nice tea and bagel with topping like PB&J and / or butter or cream cheese. It was plenty for me and a nice treat. I would happily stay here again.

United States of AmericaOne of the men's shower pressure was quite disappointing. I understand they're conserving energy, which is great, but I didn't know that it would be that extreme. All in all, nothing horrific :)
This hostel is bright, clean, cute, with lots of info and helpful staff. I loved that they were able to allow me to check in earlier than anticipated when my bus into town arrived early - that exceeded my expectations. The walk there from where my Flix bus dropped me off was super easy and comfortable to get to. They were very accommodating as I travel now with a CPAP for my sleep apnea. The bed was comfy. Let me borrow a towel for free which was a nice perk. I enjoyed cooking and eating in the kitchen. The hostel is located in a pedestrian friendly location, easily accessible to bars, restaurants, public transportation and other points of interest. I mostly walked everywhere, which was fantastic. Breakfast included a bagel and a drink (that Everything bagel is AMAZING). I loved the patio in the rear. Overall, pretty good value for the price.

They didn’t win 3rd best medium hostel in the world (unsure of criteria for this!) for nothing 😂 lovely atmosphere, a lovely bagel and juice for breakfast every morning that was easy to access. Lovely and clean. The staff were really lovely and happily provided recommendations. Drew all over a map for me, free lock hire (with small deposit) Really enjoyed this stay

PhilippinesIf you read what I like - this question is irrelevant.
People - staff and visitors. Dude shoutout to my friend Matt from Jersey (not new Jersey) — that’s how he introduced himself. The facility is new! Clean! And the people? Top tier customer service! And the cafe??? Chef’s kiss! The bafwoom is clean like cleaner than your conscience. I hope if someone from the hostel reads this - they would message me in instagram. I didn’t get to say goodbye due to my early check out. My ig is itsajc1! Plssss! I want to be friends you idiots. Sorry im aggressive. Im just passionate. K bye. Its a 100/10! Yes. That great!

United States of AmericaThe room was quite chilly the first night, but we were given a space heater after asking at the desk. Sometimes the bathrooms or kitchen appliances were all busy which was a little frustrating but not unexpected as its the nature of a hostel.
We rented the queen room on the second floor facing the street. The view was delightful and the room was clean. The bed was soft and it had enough covers to keep us nice and warm. There were two bathrooms with showers on our floor as well as a bathroom without a shower all were regularly cleaned and towels restocked. The kitchen and dining areas were fully stocked with appliances to assist in cooking which we did multiple times. The area we needed to go to every day was just a few short blocks away so it was excellently located for our needs as well. The photo contains the view from the rooms window.
