Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

IndonesiaThe bed, especially upper one is too low for me. Just above my head is ceiling.
The rooms are compact and just right for me. No useless space. Every bed is facilitated just right: electric socket, bed lamp, and small rack for your things. The new for me is every bed has sliding door for private.

United KingdomI've never seen dorms like the one I stayed in! Large stairs to reach the top bunks, 3 plugs, an integrated shelf, and a towel provided! Best dorm I've stayed in! And I'd never seen a double-bed bunk (I was staying myself in a single-bed)! The staff was helpful. Free coffee was available in the morning. And a few minutes-walk only from/to the train station. I was overall very, very impressed by the quality ofthe servicev at Sparks! 😊

ThailandThe wash basin area has dust and mold stains.
Each bed has a partition, gives you a feeling of privacy when sleeping. The hostel provides towels for free. and there is a luggage storage space for each guest. The bathroom and shower room are clean. The location is very good. It's near the central station so it's easy to travel to various places. There are restaurants of many different nationalities around, but no local food.

PakistanThis is such an excellent hostel, unbeatable in terms of location (straight from Rotterdam Centraal and right next to ChinaTown) and the beds even in 8 bed dorms have a lot of privacy. I love that they have an elevator for heavier suitcases if needed or perhaps for wheelchairs too. The rooms have good showers and toilets - and come equipped with a towel and spacious storage that also has charging ports inside of it! The staff is also very friendly and welcoming, which really makes the experience so much better. Overall, I had a very good stay and would definitely recommend to anyone.

AustraliaA toilet in the corridor would be helpful when the dorm ensuite is being occupied. Not an easy fix but something to consider if you have to do a renovation sometime.
One of the best hostels ever! Towels and luggage storage included in the bed price. Staff are super friendly and helpful. Dorm windows can be opened for fresh air! Bed facilities with individual light and power point, privacy screen and female dorm ensuite for 6 people all worked well. This is not a party hostel. Woohoo! Kitchen facilities are A1, as is the system for labelling and storing food. Plenty of nice spaces downstairs to find spots to read, ponder, chat. Only 1 block from the main train station. I've been recommending this hostel since I left. Well done, Sparks! You've got the right formula going on. Keep it up!
