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.).

SlovakiaOne of the plugs in the capsule wasn't working and the room was waaay too chilly.
The capsules were spacious, i loved that they provided thick blankets instead of just sheets.

United KingdomThe hostel plays laud music in a hallway outside the dorms till late hours at night. I could not sleep at all, not even with earplugs. When I asked to turn it down I was told the music stops at 10pm. That was not the case on Friday night I stayed there. The music was on till at least midnight. You can be unlucky and book a hostel located near a night club, but I have never come across that it’s actually the hostel itself imposing such inconvenience on its own guests. Where’s the logic I don’t know, as there was no one in the dark hallway to even listen to that music, but instead the guests in my dorm could not sleep.
The location was great, close to metro and buses, as well as walking distance downtown. The hostel was very clean, and the staff was very friendly. The capsule was a little noisy when you bumped your elbow against it which is almost inevitable.

Location was great, a metro stop just 30 seconds around the corner, the beds were comfortable and nice and quiet neighbourhood and just a street or so away from plenty of nightlife

I like that there is a cafe. I like the downstairs area. I like the curtains for the capsule pod bed

ItalyNice capsules(bed) and clean unfortunately you can’t really close completely and some light enter and are not sound proof. There are not many restrooms/bathrooms/washrooms at second and third floor. You don’t need a locker for your closet but the latter is not big, it can contain only a school backpack.
This place is really well connected whith the subway at 100 mt. Nice capsules(bed) and clean, if you are tall 185 cm you won’t hit your head. On Friday there is free beer. They use an up for everything. You don’t need a locker for your closet but the latter is not big, it can contain only a school backpack. The cafeteria is good. Staff is very nice.

United StatesOnly thing is that the pods is that the pod only had the usb to charge your electronics. I only had the c type and was not able to charge my phone in the pod.
I liked that it was close to the metro station. The cafe had great coffee. I also like that you’re able to use the Goki app to get into the main door and room door.

United StatesI wish they have a kitchen available for travelers. Larger than the small room with the fridge and microwave they currently have and a better discount for drinks at the coffee shop downstairs since there was no way for travelers to make their own. One last thing, I was hoping for a more sound proof capsules for the light sleepers, but I am really not a capsule hotel expert, so i don't know if such thing even exists.
Capsules are a great idea. It gives you so much more privacy than just dorm bed. The location and value were good as well

GermanyThe street is absolutely chaotic over the weekends, and the hostel is not sound proof at all. We could not sleep until 3-4 am both at Friday and Saturday due to nonstop music, partying people and loud motorbikes on the street. This needs to be informed for people who don't know DC, or the place should improve its sound isolation. I mean it, it is impossible to handle the loud noises.
Easy access to metro. Private room was decently comfortable. Automated check in is straightforward if instructions are followed.

New ZealandMy husband and I are 60 and a little technically challenged, so we found the self check in process a little challenging, to say the least. Once we finally got our heads around it though, accessing the hostel and our rooms each time we returned was really easy.
The location is fantastic. Literally a stones throw from the metro and surrounded by shops, bars and restaurants. We felt completely safe at the hostel which is really important to us. We loved the sleeping pods although my 6ft 1in husband had to sleep slightly on the angle, but it wasn't a problem. Otherwise the pods were reallly spacious and well appointed. Everyone in our room was really quiet and respectful of each others privacy and space. There is a great little cafe within the hostel complex and I thought the showering facilities were perfectly adequate. No issues there. I would definitely stay here again if I return to DC.

United StatesThe charging port inside the capsule requires native chargers bc of the power requirements so if you have a off brand it won't charge properly. There are plenty of other chargers around.

NetherlandsI had the feeling people were living there for a longer period of time, which was less nice then being around tourists
Spacious rooms with lots of storage capacity beside the lockers. The facilities in the basement were good, but can image that they will be crowded at certain moments. The self check-in and room key via the app worked great, even with backup codes in case you forget or don't want to bring your phone.
