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.).

AustraliaOnly thing was that there wasn’t much socialising. But I think that was because most people staying at the hostel were going to a festival near by. Events were made but no one showed up :(

AustraliaThere’s only two showers for two dorm rooms. We got up early to make sure we could have a shower when we wanted, as saw people waiting at time.
The location was perfect and easy to get to. A short walk from Centraal station. The staff were all so helpful and friendly! Such good vibes at this place.

United KingdomI may be wrong about this but access to the rooms is only by staircase (no lift) so those with mobility issues may be restricted in their choices.
I’ve stayed in a lot of hostels over the years and I really do think this may be the best of them! Beautiful communal areas and garden, super helpful staff, good quality dorm rooms, and decent numbers of showers and basins in respect of the number of guests. There were even supper clubs being held when I was staying - serving delicious food! Those who run the place clearly know what makes a great hostel. I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

GermanyOnly downside was the bunkbeds. They are a bit unstable and shakes due to even little movements of people sleeping. Could wake you up if you are a light sleeper.
It was my first hostel experience and it exceeded my expectations. Location and cleanness was perfect. Staff were really nice and helpful, made my stay really comfortable. Super cool atmosphere, both guests and the place was really chill. Would be back again:)

NetherlandsThe biggest bummer to start with was when I came begin of January in 2023. The season was very, like VERY COLD! And it was pretty cold outside, ASWEL as in the hostel itself too. Which to me was crazy. I can imagine the "fake" energy crisis we're being pushed in, but you just CAN'T safe money on a warm household where many people are staying in. Specifically not in this season with this terrible cold. Many people complained about it for a long time about it too. Usually the heating should be 18*(which it should be), but it was even on 15*, which to me is just not okay. In the end it go fixed and set on 20*, so that's appreciated. So this alone only took down 1 full rating point. Other smaller bummers were gas furnace+stove. Seems its old and pretty troublesome in working (it served it purpose, perhaps an idea to exchange it, as many struggle with it usage?) and the shower. Another thing is the dishwasher, it seems that it isn't working anymore properly, as many dishes and cutlery aren't many times pretty good washed / dried. You see stains AND food leftover crusts stains on it... Which kind of is.. yea... (Perhaps it served its purpose too.) And as last, the showers should be somehow exchanged for better ones. Not on sensor but that people perhaps can self decide the water temperature with perhaps a rain shower and a normal shower head and different pressures? And the weird warm-cold-warm switch was somehow really annoying. Please take these hints as a collective of shared thoughts. Many people mentioned it and I'm just sharing a collective of thoughts on certain things. But all in all, this place is amazing! 7.9, and deff worth to visit.
I've been staying there for a very long time. Never in my life did I stay in a hostel, so this was my 1st experience with the concept of hostels. It was a very awesome one to start with!! I'm full into hostels now and love to explore the differences in different hostels too. The vibe there was really cool and awesome and pretty family-type of stay. Pretty close to the main public transportation stations & close to the city center. The decoration and vibe of the hostel itself is pretty cool and different, love all the little extra's to discover. The staff is good in knowing how to filter the right people to allow to stay and which not, because of the safety of others. As someone who looks in pretty many details my end rating is a 7.9
