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...).

Great kitchen , close to public transportation, nice staff, outlet and night-light by your bed. Overall a great option depending on what you are looking for.

LithuaniaVery minor things which would make the place much more comfortable * there could be a personal space over the bed and a shelf to put your phone on while you charge it. * also having a shelf in the shower would be a good thing. * clearer zone splitting where you can eat and where you can't.
Very good location, the metro is close and there are a few groceries around.

IrelandWalls are incredibly thin so all the noise from other rooms, hallway, social areas and even outside comes through. If you’re tired enough, it won’t disturb your sleep.
Staff was friendly and helpful, gave lots of local recommendations. We stayed in private room with its own bathroom and everything was perfectly clean. There was one coffee/drink complimentary with the room key slip. Kitchen space could be utilized as required and many board games in social areas around the reception. They also organize various events, definitely should check out if you’re staying in for the day. Location was good, metro station was some 10 min walking distance.

United KingdomThere is no furniture or space in the room to put your belongings on - no shelves or hooks, if you have a top bunk prepare to climb high with your phone or other bits and bobs. The street outside is noisy so we slept with our windows shut. The bathroom and shower are tiny which is fine for a slim person. The shower is literally less than a meter square, the sink is teeny-weeny too. The surfaces in the communal areas are sticky. I mean some bits around the hostel could do with a bit of TLC but overall it’s ok and a good base in NYC.
Location - very close to the subway station. The street itself is a bit dodgy but that’s nothing to do with the hostel. The views from the roof are amazing. Everything was as they described in the listing. Comfortable beds, shower/toilet in the room, good bedding. The kitchen is very good too. Plenty of communal areas and a nice bar downstairs.

United States of AmericaGot there, The ad said twin bed. The lady at the desk said "do you want to sleep on top or bottom" I said "what". Apparently it was a bunk bed for two that fortunately there was room at the bottom. Also, she said I can't be allowed in the future because my ID was a New York. Believe it or not, that stated in the small print when I booked on line. Little inconvenience. Don't think I'll come back again. Such a hassle. Can you picture this nonsense. No discount or anything. Not good. Not good at all.

United States of AmericaThough not far from subway, location was not in Manhatten. The bunk could have enclosed drapes for better privacy.
From the moment I entered NY Local, I was warmly greeted by the staff at the bar and the check-in desk. I found the place clean and the ambiance very welcoming.

South Koreathe air-conditioner sounds very loud. i wish there were air freshener in a room. i wish they have a corner rack shelf in a shower booth.
This is a hipster hostel. They have a bar, art gallery and common area on the lobby floor, including laundry room. A lot of people from many different countries get together on the lobby floor. You can go to the roof and find pretty good scene from there. The room size was not too bad regarding to the price and location(NY). There were 2 bunk beds, 1 toilet, 1 small shower in the room. Also there were 4 small lockers under the bed. If you do not have a lock, you can ask one from the reception. The locker might fit 2 small carry-on bags. If you have a larger baggage, you have to lock and place it next to the beds. They clean the room everyday(they don't make your bed), and it stays very clean. But it seems that you might have to ask for changing new towel though. There are several subway stations around the hostel. It takes 3 min walk to the nearest one. I went to a hipster cafe called Ninth Street Espresso, right across the hostel, and it was good. This hostel should be good for ones who want to travel in NYC or in Brooklyn.

United States of AmericaI think the mattresses could use another inspection. I actually felt the springs in my mattress as I adjusted to get comfortable for the night. There was a spare bed stuck in our room. We had our bunks, but there was a single bed, with a pillow tossed on it, that took up space in the room. I have seen rooms where there is a door separating the sink, and the sleeping area. So, late night, a person is not disturbing anyone when they come in or get ready. That wasn't the case in our room. It would be nice - considerate, if Booking.com, or the property, made certain all travelers were aware of all fees& taxes involved in the price before arriving to the property. Using a different font, or different colored text to indicate pricing and final cost during the booking process would be helpful. There are other hotels that do not require an additional deposit when a traveler arrives at the property. When I was checked -in, when the assistant at the desk mentioned it, it felt like new information to my ears.
I appreciated the ability to arrive when I did and leave my bag while I went to take care of a few things. I enjoyed the lounge area. The access to a bar and good drinking water was also great.
