Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

New ZealandGood location and nice Hostel. I was in a 3 person mixed room and it was comfortable, spacious and quiet with only one other person. The kitchen is small but adequate and a nice terrace on the roof. The staff were very helpful and accommodating for my later check in. thank you.

United Arab EmiratesInternet! The lady staff even dont know how to fix it and I did it by myself! Just take note guys if you are booking here and the internet went down, just locate where is the router and hard reboot both of it. Turn it off and wait for 10seconds before turning it on again. Staircase. It is sl steep. But that’s okay if you are a backpacker.
It’s proximity with the Zurich HB, just 15mins walk. It is clean as well

PortugalLocation is great, everything is very neat and I was aware through the previous reviews about the stairs to get to the room. However what I wasn’t expecting and honestly didn’t find any good reason for it, is the fact that we have to make our own beds. And I mean put the linens on and add the cover to the duvet. I have been to many hostels throughout my life and have never been expected to make it myself, since we are paying for the bed and its commodities. Besides that, it is a nice hostel and the hostess is very friendly

AustraliaTall spiral staircase makes getting heavy luggage upstairs a bit of a pain. Only kitchen appliance that worked was the microwave with the stove etc etc being non functional.
Bathrooms were quite clean & spacious, beds were comfortable enough with a nice view out the window. Free storage of bags after checkout was nice too.

AustraliaIt says there are some stairs - there are quite a lot of very thin spiral staircases with steep steps (not necessarily a negative but definitely something you should know). Kitchen was a little bit run down, and really only the kettle and microwave worked (again, that was all I needed, but something to know).
Lovely little hostel, good location, very clean! Stayed in the room of three and although there were no curtains around the beds, I didn't feel too exposed. Bathroom was nice and clean. Great for a one night stay!

AustraliaVery late check in time (4pm). No luggage storage provided either (although we did manage an earlier check in for a reduced fee). Although sign on the front door strongly suggests this is not an option. Faint church bell atleast every 15 mins during the night.
Central location. Small kitchen to assist with self catering if preferred. Lovely shared balcony to look across the rooftops and to sit outside. Clean shared facilities, great hot water. Power outlet provided to each bed. Wifi strong.

PortugalThe least interesting things are the late check-in time of 4pm, the stairs to get to the hostel and the lack of a sign at the door indicating the hostel's entrance. It's difficult to find the entrance.
The most interesting thing about this accommodation is its location, right in the centre of Zurich and close to everything.

SwedenSafety thinking doesn't seem to be on the agenda that much. I have not seen any smoke or carbon monoxide detectors/alarms. Furthermore, I won't go into details not to make it even less secure, but one should be happy there's a small lockable locker in the bedroom. Apart from that small locker there are no other lockers or even wardrobes/cupboards in the bedroom.
Amazing location right in the heart of the city centre. It's a very quiet hostel, which I appreciate. The room was not overcrowded either.
