Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

PolandAt night is quite loud as hostel is just by the fast and wide road, which many cars use. Anyway, hostel provides free earplugs. I did one night without them (was fine, but it took me a bit longer to fall asleep), the second night I used them and it was great.
Helpful staff, free breakfast (unlimited cereal, milk, coffee, toasts with jam and peanut butter), nice and big common areas, two lovely cats on board. Rooms are quite big comparing to other hostels, very clean, seem new, include lockers and efficient AC. Also hostel provides cheap laundry (2 ringid for washing powder only), good WiFi and recommendation for spending time in Ipoh (e.g. good restaurants nearby). One night we were only 2 people in 8-people dorm and overall the place has a lot of space so it won’t be overcrowded even with full reservations. One of the best hostels I have ever been to.

MalaysiaThe place is beautiful, friendly owner/staff. Every corner makes a gorgeous OOTD area. Price is cheaper if you book directly but sold out fast. Shower and toilets are a little small but plenty. Comfortable place and well thought out. If you book bunk beds/capsule bed, you have small area in between the bunk for prayer.

IrelandNoisy road but you are warned Very warm in common areas and bathrooms even with fans…easy to get bitten Very annoying that people are allowed to do photoshoots in the common areas. Flash of a camera going off doesn’t help relax The cats didn’t bother me in general but seeing them on the tables in the kitchen area where people eat isn’t the best look
Amazing contact prior to arrival. An issue was sorted straight away and all questions answered Very friendly Cafe is lovely-fresh smoothies, coffee and bagels-a little pricey but felt it was worth it Bright spot in the strange place that is Ipoh 2 pillows Provide locks

United Kingdomnothing to say here, really enjoyed my stay
This is one of the loveliest hostels I've stayed in. There is ample communal space with a really innovative swing chairs and table in the kitchen area. The staff are kind and welcoming. The room is spacious and the beds some of the comfiest I've stayed in. There were nice little touches like some earplugs and a towel which made the stay even cosier. The vibe was fabulous and there was a balance of people chilling out and working. I worked a couple of days there and the wifi worked well for both zoom calls and browser work. Location wise you're slightly off the beaten track BUT Ipoh is small and walkable. Within 15 minutes you can get to what you want to see. Would recommend!

United KingdomThere was nothing we didn't like.
We had an en suite room, which was spotless, comfortable, and quiet. We met nice folk around the huge table in the dining area, those that didn't have their faces in their phones, that is! Tea and coffee are available, with fruit, cereals, and biscuits. The little coffee place in the garden serves lovely coffees and smoothies, and light snacks.
