How guest reviews work
Each 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 are 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

You don't have a bed assigned to you, so you basically just choose one from the available ones. However, it is sometimes not easy to understand which exactly is the available one as people that check-out don't always take their sheets to the laundry basket (please don't be this person). When I came there seemed to be no free bed as there was none that was cleaned and with fresh sheets. Roommates showed me the one that was supposedly free because they saw the guest leaving, but old sheets were still in place and the cleaners did not change them so it must be confusing for them as well. Luckily there were fresh sheets in the corridor so I could just replace them myself. This hostel does not have a reception or permanent staff to clarify/assist if needed.
Liked: location, common areas, private bathroom in our room, elevator, online check-in. Location - as central as it can be for tourists, when you exit you can basically see the main square. You can check-in online which is a big plus but for some reason it was confusing for some of the guests, you should read the instructions and check your emails. The common areas were very decent but keep in mind that they close the common room for the night and you are also not allowed there with foods and drinks. The reception, if needed, is in the other hostel (in between this one and the North Station). P.S. If you are a tourist don't just stay in the center, Brussels is very decentralized and has much to offer outside the core central area.

The location was EXCELLENT! Couldn’t have asked for better honestly! The dorms were neat and clean. The bathrooms were also clean (which is a big thing for me). I met some people from all over the world which was lots of fun - would definitely recommend The Classic by 2GO4 - Grand Place to any solo female traveller!

You need a mobile with internet to open the doors. I imagine those come without a valid simcard or lost their mobile. They don't have any attendant to open the door in this case.
Clean, they left me to check-in earlier, staffs were friendly, very good location.

Super tiny bathroom and toilet. If you're a larger bodied person this would be a big issue. The digital key and check in is not something I'd opt into if I had a choice - what if your phone dies or you run out of data or it's stolen? No way of getting into hostel and no reception person onsite to let you in.
Very clean and stylish space, handy location, towels and linens provided. Great communication online. Great facilities.

You had to check in at a separate location 1km away( which wasn't mentioned in the description). No staff onsite. The room was overheated and stuffy if you didn't leave a window open, which meant the person in that bed froze. The door broke to the room, key card wouldn't work so the owner tapped over the lock to allow us entry but that meant the room wasn't secure.
Sleeping location was great and they had an elevator , large lockers in room

Lack of reception or storage room, so you have to walk 15mins to another hostel to check in which is a nightmare with the luggage
Amazing location, great design of interiors and available kitchen. Available sockets and personal lights at each bed

According to the reviews, I walked to the other site just for check in, which turned out to be unnecessary as the key was online? key. Would have been better with a clear notice ahead as it's hard to carry luggage all by yourself on rocky road of brussels.
Common room was nice. Right next to Grand palace, perfect location. Key was online which is nice but also not comfy to travelers who just arrived and might be having issue with wifi connection.

Check-in process was a bit confusing. You don't have to go to the other location to check-in anymore, it's all completely online. And you need your smartphone with you at all times. Also, no assigned beds.. so if you're particular about upper/lower bunks, try to check-in as soon as possible and "reserve" your spot by making the bed and leaving some clothes on the bed itself. And don't forget to drop off the sheets/towels in the laundry baskets on your way out!
Great location, cleanliness, spacious room, comfortable bed

It was confusing that I needed to go somewhere else to get my card key, around 15 minuets from the hostel by foot. It should have been stated in the website that I need to get my card key from another location first.
I liked the location since it was in the central and the kitchen had the things I needed.

Check in place is way to far, especially if you are coming late at night, it was quite scary to walk all the way from one hostel to another. Codes for keys are not functioning properly, I spent over 20min to unlock the box. For additional night price was way to higher on their reception then on booking. No luggage deposit
Location is amazing

It could've been easier and less confusing for the client if they had a receptionist or at least responsible staff in the hotel.
Everything was clean, and far from outdated. The shared bathroom in the room was also pretty nice and clean. There was some tea and coffee that was up for grabs in the kitchen alongside a large fridge to store food and some kitchen utensils. The staff at the reception at their bigger hotel was a lovely person.
