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...).

Australiashowers weren't the best, poor pressure and the heat was sporadic, also the cubicles made the showers awkward to get in and out of because of how small they were. Beds were OK in dorm however most in my room didn't have a ladder or easy access, you had to climb up and over the bottom of the frame, OK if your nimble
location is beautiful. So close to the best of the Blue Mountains, short walk downhill from the train station, staff were friendly and helpful. Good common areas and communal kitchen. Good WiFi too

GermanyWinter problem: It‘s freezingly cold in both kitchen and communal area in the evening! Apart from that, amenities are not in the best state, with water constantly dripping from shower heads. But it‘s alright! I can recommend the hostel.
Beautiful building and common area. Staff is very nice, rooms are beautiful as well. Kitchen and communal area are large and very well equipped.

MalaysiaHeater was not working on the first night. They only turned it on the second night when it rained/weather got cold. They provided 2 standing lights for the room as the ceiling lights were not working. We didn't even notice anything wrong until we came back and the standing lights were gone and the ceiling lights replaced. Wish they would have informed us that they will come into the room to fix the lighting.
Location is within walking distance to Woolworths and Coles. Great restaurants nearby too.

BelgiumYou had to use your badge to open the door for the showers. Breakfast was cheap, but kinda basic. If you're on a budget, then it would be perfect. If not, there are a lot of bakeries nearby.
Big kitchen and lot of space to sit and relax. The hostel is a bit further in the street, but that makes is a nice quiet hostel.

United KingdomWe had to share a plug socket in the room. The person I had to share with kept taking mine out as hers somehow used two at once. It was a huge inconvenience at the time. I did find this wasn't much of a social hostel, people would stay in there own groups and not really welcome others. They had kids at this hostel. Pool table and cubes was broken
I like how big the kitchen, dinning room and lounge area was and how it was all open. I liked they had sofas to relax on and had films playing in the evening

NetherlandsThe staff was okay.. not the most friendly but just okay. Also the property is just verrrryyyy old but that fits in the locations I guess. It's a basic village and I wouldn't recommend staying there for more than just one night.
It's the perfect location, close to the Blue Mountains hiking trail. The kitchen is very big and spacious and a lot of people can cook at the same time without being in eachothers way

AustraliaN/A we enjoyed our comfortable stay here - whilst there was no parking left in their attached car park when we got there, there was plenty of unrestricted parking down the same road as car park.
Room was clean & comfortable with heating that we could control that was quick & effective. Good size bathroom with towels provided. Safe & secure with security doors around the property. Surprisingly quiet after 10pm for a hostel. Large comfortable communal areas & kitchen with plenty of fridge storage.
