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):
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.
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.).

GermanyTo be honest, there is nothing that I didn't like, I suppose that in the common areas some music could be added to cheer things up a bit more
I liked the atmosphere, the staff and the location, and the hostel is quite nice, and the surroundings are very interesting and pleasant.

United Arab EmiratesIt’s really noisy. Even if you’re in your room and trying to sleep, you can hear every little thing happening outside. There’s also a sitting area right outside the rooms that tend to be so noisy. The location isn’t the best I’d say.
I loved that it had lots of toilet cubicles and the bathroom itself was really nice and always clean at everytime I went to use it. There’s a lot of common spaces. Some travellers were down doing work while others watching a movie upstairs. The staff were super nice and helpful with everything I requested.

IndiaAlways a pleasure to stay at Forrrest Hostels. This was my second time. The bed was clean and well kept. The bathrooms were clean, maintained and very spacious. The common area was also very well maintained. All places were quite spacious for a city like Mumbai. Brownie points for proximity to Airport and BKC.

United StatesNothing of significance.
The Hostel: Dorm rooms are spacious, welcoming, functional and impeccably clean. Forrest was my 5th hostel in India and it was by far the cleanest and most inviting. Each bunk is equipped with a privacy curtain, fan, charging station, hooks and a small locker for your valuables. Larger lockers are fitted under the bottom bunk for additional storage. WiFi network, shower heater and water pressure all worked great. Common areas offer cozy vibes with plenty of seating. The Stay: The bed was comfortable and the dorm is well designed. Very safe and secure area. Conveniently located and a short distance to most attractions. Tuk Tuks are always parked outside for a quick ride anywhere and you’re an Ola/Uber away from farther destinations such as Colaba, Gateway of India, Marine Drive, etc. Short distance to BOM airport as well. The Service: The staff were incredibly kind and helpful. They were always available to answer questions and offer recommendations. Special shout out to the cleaning staff! Not only are the dorm rooms, toilets and showers always clean, but they conduct frequent rounds to maintain that standard. 10/10 would recommend staying here!

United KingdomNot much to be improved to make this a stella hostel. These suggetsion are for guests to get a better sleep at night. Luggage lockers are also great to have, and guests at Forrest get two. However, they are metal which makes for a lot of clanking, banging, and noisy comings and goings. Add a few tactical rubber strips and the problem is solved. Privacy curtains are also great to have. Try to find a way of silencing the draw rail - seems a petty point, but if you stay you'll understand. Lastly, a written bedside reminder for guests to be considerate of others when it comes to taking calls, making noise at night. Even though there are some signs around you still find guests who think they are important enough to have their business heard by all - at all times of night.
Outstanding hostel. Very well-organised, exceptionally clean, plenty of space, attentive and helpful staff. Mumbai can be a difficult city to find good, low price range accomm, but Forrest nails it with out doubt. Close to the airport for a quick stopover, reasonable access to Andheri and Juhu, and only a short taxi/auto to Bandra station for a swift train into downtown Colaba. Beds are comfy, rest/washrooms are kept really clean, and shared spaces are bright and spacious. Wonderful hostel, deserves all praises. Highly recommended.

SpainIt is very difficult to find such Hostel in Mumbai. I felt welcomed from the first second I entered the doors, downstairs you have a reception and seating area with many plants. Super nice style of the decor. Upstairs are the rooms, I booked a female dorm with 8 beds and I loved it. Spacious Room, Beds with Curtains and everything you need. Highlight were as well the own Bathroom with 2 shower cabins, big and spotless clean!! Amenities like towels, mosquito plugs, little kitchen to use. All of the staff and as well the owner were so friendly and they make everything to have you feel good in their space. Thank you for the stay and vibes and the lovely chat on my last day. I can highly recommend this place for anyone and I am back for sure whenever I am in Mumbai.
