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.).

United Arab EmiratesI added an extra day cause my flight was leaving late and they transferred me to the 8-bunk room and it was horrible. It was so hot and that room (room 11) stinks and there was no AC. I was the only woman there and all I saw were men who look like they were staying there for a long time (dripping clothes hanging in their beds which stinks the place).
I love how clean the hostel is, amazing location as well, and their staff Anastasia was super nice. This is a good hostel for the price. Be sure to book the 4-bunks as it’s very comfortable. The locker was big too. It was an amazing stay and I had a good night sleep for 2 nights :)

CanadaFind it weird the bedroom door doesn’t lock. Anyone from the hostel could wander into your room if they wanted to. The bed was okay, but the pillows are extremely flat. Fine for one or two nights but wouldn’t want to sleep here for a long time.
Great location as it’s right beside the metro station which is extremely convenient! The hostel was clean and the staff were very helpful. I appreciated that they had black out bed curtains as many hostels in Europe don’t have anything.

The staff were amazingly friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and well-organized. The bed looked more like a capsule - after you close your curtain(which btw is blackout) you have everything that you need inside. WC were clean as in 5-star hotels. I was lucky to have a breathtaking view on the Acropolis from the terrace on my floor. Public transport is just above the corner and it is easy to reach the airport from the hostel.

Czech RepublicNothing really, I have stayed at many hostels before, so I tend to compare them. This was not the best, but very satistying.
The location is great! 2 mins from the metro station, 2 mins from Carrefour, 10 mins from Lidl supermarket, 20 mins walking to Acropoli, relatively easy to get there from the airport by metro. There is a little hill 10 mins walking distance from the hostel for great views of the city. Great! The bed was comfortable, rooms and common spaces and bathrooms are in a good condition and relatively clean. They are doing their best at the hostel to keep it clean, the rest is really up to the people staying there. Just dont make a mess and it wont be messy. Kitchen and a little patio were also very nice plus. Maybe a bigger fridge or two fridges would be fine. The self check-in went well, all important info were sent beforehand via Whatsapp or email. You could text the reception if you needed anything. My bed was not ready when I got there, the sheets were not changed after the previous stay. The hostel was full, so probably just a mix-up. I just asked the receptionist for help and got fresh clean sheets and linen, so it was solved quickly.

TurkeyIt is not a good hostel for walking distance and there is no opportunity to eat or drink.
The staff was very good. They were very helpful and always smiling. cleaning was good. only the waiting area was small and closed. I love hostel bars. There was no such service in this hostel. There was no breakfast, even if it was paid. The location is in a safe area. I generally walked everywhere. Many places can be reached within 30 minutes walking distance. It is a little far away for those who want to walk. But the reception staff makes up for everything. they were so sweet. I thank them for everything.

Nice hostel, each bed has a curtain for some privacy and a little wall plug and light, spacious lockers, clean, very good bathrooms (sure the temperature of the showers is not 100% consistent but it’s not nearly as bad as some reviews had me believe), good price, good location, feels like one of the better neighbourhoods of Athens and right next to the metro to get into the city centre (or 30 minutes walking), kitchen is good and nice outside area to chill and maybe meet people

And live with other is safe for solo trip girl. Nice experience. Transportation is sooo convenient and very close to restaurants/ supermarket/ coffee shop.

GermanyThe thing that I did not like was not related to the hoste itself l, but rather to some of the annoying guests. For example, one of the people played music at one o’clock in the morning. I also did not like some people cooking in the hostel. I mean, visiting Athens is a good opportunity to try Greek food in restaurants and not cook and disturb the guests with the smell. I thought that the hostel experience would be a good opportunity to get to know others and have fun with them in Athens, but I was wrong, so do not expect to spend a good time with others if you come alone like me.
The reception staff are very nice and helpful. The location is very excellent in Neos Cosmos, a safe area and one minute away from the metro station. The bathrooms were clean and everything was like the pictures

United StatesThe Mattress was not very good, could feel the springs. The weather was so pleasant that it was nice to keep the windows in the rooms open for ventilation. But the doors were not consistently propped open or latched closed, so the breeze would slam the doors shut often during the night and wake everyone. I recommend that the guests are informed of the need to either latch them shut or prop them open so they won't slam shut from the pleasant breezes. It would be nice if they would provide door stops to prop them open.
The location is super convenient to the Metro, and the Metro is great in Athens. The Hostel is very clean, and the staff are pleasant and helpful, and the lockers are considerably larger than most, practically two carry-on size luggage fit in the locker. My carry-on and my under-seat sized backpack easily fit in locker together with plenty of room to spare. There is a small grocery store and 2 bakeries one minute walk from the hostel, and the neighborhood feels safe. I will likely stay there again.
