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...).

PolandThere's very loud at night. At ground floor there's a bar, in which around 8 pm really loud music starts to play. There's also a bar's garden right under the windows, unfortunately mine as well. There's also loud at night inside the hostel. Combining it with relatively thin walls - it can be hard to fall asleep.
The hostel in right in the opposite of Queen Victoria Market. It's a great point to start exploring the city, escpecially that it's in free tram zone. Room conditions aren't the best, but you have a bed, desk, heater and fans - you can easily manage the temperature you like, even in winter. Common parts were cleaned regularly.

AustraliaOne of the two bathrooms of my floor broke down during my second day and sadly, until the end of my stay, this wasn’t fix. As one can imagine, with only one bathroom for many guests the cues in the morning were sometimes long. Wish this could have been fixed sooner.
The staff was extremely friendly and helpful (Thank you, Rachel). And the location couldn’t be better because the free tram zone to the city starts just crossing the street. Also, the rules of the place made everything work peacefully and respectfully between the guests.

EcuadorThe beds were basically a wire mesh and you better create your own bunkbed curtains, otherwise you won't get absolutely any privacy. A few items got lost on that room, and nobody helped. Since the staff consisted mainly of volunteers, it was common for them not knowing the answers or where things are. In fact, they even made the booking process uncomfortable, because they never knew if they were going to have room for you and will move you from room to room. The common areas were not comfortable either. Not even one couch or area to have a phone call. And uffff, wait until the weekend heavy metal concerts!!! Trying to sleep on top of a rock bar is a JOKE! you are forced to shut the bedroom windows in hope to diminish the sound, but then you get stucked with the heavy odour of the people you share the room with. Terrible nights!
If you are on a super tight budget, this hostel might be acceptable for a while..., but you will want to get out soon!! It was kind of good, but not enough. Not clean enough, not comfortable enough, not organized enough, not private enough, not quite enough...

AustraliaThere is a bar on the building ground floor - a rock bar. All bass gets transmitted through brick walls to the whole building. There is also a slamming door at the bar, probably in a toilet, that does it every 20 - 40 seconds. The noise also gets transmitted through to the whole building. Don't expect sleeping earlier than 3 AM Saturday nights and very likely other party nights.
Excellent location. Small place and fairly good for a hostel. The place seems well looked after, showers need more attention with mould though.

Finlandmy roomies were all sleeping during the day and being noisy during the night. that’s bad luck though. Rooms are not very homey and nice. Beds seems very old. Anyways worst part is that rock and roll bar which is amazingly loud on weekends, specially if you stay in the first floor. And as said in other reviews as well it lasts till 6 in the morning. But I think they play mainly just friday and saturday and maybe sunday. I ended up leaving earlier because it was too hard to sleep here bc my roomies and the bar. I probably would have asked for a another room but I got a place at my friend’s house instead. receiption is open only till 5:30 and there is evening staff person too but you need to call or text him to reach him. there is very little storage space in the rooms and floor was not cleaned.
common areas were nice, toilets and showers are clean, always hor water, location is amazing, nice and friendly people, rooftop balcony was very nice place to hangout

AustraliaThe patrons of the neighbour use foul language quite often and quite loud. There were also voices that were worry that some of them might have mental issues, bad mouthing others, who might be staying at the accommodation at time, while stating their reasons and try to justify their quick mindedness to go beyond their pay grade and or authorisation (eg: talking about foreigners, assuming that their laws are what have been assumed by them). At times, there were smoky odour that can creep into the room. Some might be from the neighbour.
Breakfast was not offered. I did not asked for a quiet room, but my first dormmate was really worry that I might not know how loud the neighbour's patron might be. The dining room is very lovely. The kitchen and bathroom were relatively very clean most times.
