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.).

No AC?/it wasn’t on so it got quite hot in the rooms The outdoor common spaces closed at 10:30 when the indoor ones closed at midnight. Wish the outdoor spaces stayed open later.
Great location close to Passeig Gràcia and the Diagonal metro station. The staff was amazing, super helpful and friendly. The common spaces were great to relax and meet new people! Was super clean as well. I didn’t get to partake but they have plenty of organized activities if you don’t have anything planned.

I was in 2nd floor room facing the main road and the noise of people in the cafe until 2am (friday nite)
The location is near the diagonal metro, the toilet is very big with it’s own sink inside, the bathroom is spacious, complete kitchen, there is laundry facility and terrace. Staff is very friendly and helpful.

Warm water came and went usually at exactly the wrong times.They desperately need hooks in the shower rooms. 3 euro to rent an old towel is a little rich.
Great location. Friendly staff. Comfortable beds. Roomy lockers.

I enjoyed the location for its proximity to transportation hubs and various attractions within walking distance. Additionally, hostel offered a guide who organised free walking tour (tip based) which i liked so much. Our guide was Tyler and he showed us main city spots. In general, i liked the hostel and enjoyed my trip :) Thank you for additional activities that this hostel offers!

It would be good to have more spaces to change and better air con as the room was not completely fresh. It would be good to know in advance that you will need a padlock to keep your stuff safe.
The room is just the beds so there bathroom and toilers are separate which I thought would be a problem but worked out well. No issues with noise or mess to be honest.

Cleaning staff was cleaning the toilette in the morning during rush hours 😜. The lockers that we had to secure our stuff were a bit noise when we used them because they are wooden drawers.
I like the staff was really helpful and the option that we had to leave our staff after check out till the 20:00 in the evening for free!!!

It felt pricey compared to other hostels I’ve been at. I think I can find similar hostels for a better price.
A good setup between the layout and facilities. I was only there briefing but it looks like it would make for a quieter hostal (I mean noise around me). Central..but a good 15 minutes from plaza catalunya if you need the bus early fyi
