Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

LuxembourgThere were no soap in the showers, and no soap was offered when I rented the towels. Might be that you need to ask, I just assumed they had it in the showers.
I've been sleeping in a shared room only once, and didn't have very good experience. This stay for me was great! The price is good in comparison to the rest of the hotels/hostels in and around Amsterdam. To Amsterdam city it takes some 15 min by train, which is easily accessible. I liked that the staff showed how everything, where our beds are and the rules. Each bed has its own storage closet with a personal pin that you decide to put. The beds are comfortable, and you get your privacy by being able to close the "sleeping box" with a door curtain. The ventilation inside is good, the air doesn't feel stuffed while asleep. Other guests were very respectful and tried not to make any noise. I slept very well, which never happens when I know that people are moving around. The bedding is included but the towels are rented to a fee. There is a small bar and vending machines at the entrance and a lounge area where you can work or socialize. Around the corner there are some great restaurants, and some nices coffee/bagel places to have breakfast in in the area.

GermanyWould’ve preferred to have AC outlets in the pods rather than USB type C and A plugs. A hanger in the lockers might be a good addition, not sure it would be feasible though
All employees, particularly Juan was super helpful, kind and understanding from check-in to even after the check out. Beds were comfortable and pod curtains provided an okay personal space. It was one the cleanest hostel I’ve been in and never felt bad using anything whether it’s bathrooms, showers or sheets. All this with a good price in the lovely Zaandam. Would recommend to everybody looking for hostels
