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...).

KazakhstanThe location was too far from the downtown. The shower and toilet was general for female and male rooms.
The owner of the hostel is really considerate and always ready to help. He helped me with the taxi and tried to respond to my requests.

RussiaThe hostel is cheap for Abu Dhabi, so you should not expect everything new and sparkling. The furniture and finishing is quite old. But it is surprisingly neat.
It well worth the money. It is clean and no disturbing smell is inside the hostel as you may have experienced in some backpackers' hostels. We were proposed a transfer to the airport. We did not need it as we were travelling to Dubai. But it might be helpful if you travel without a car. The host is very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was delicious and enough food for us for a whole day. Thank you very much for the late check in and hosting us!

United Arab EmiratesSome persons in the dormitory were extremely noisy. i would have expected a cut of time for lights to go off. You come to a backpack dormitory to get shut eye. There should be no leeway.
The property owner is fantastic. Very polite accomodating and supportive. I usually never got dormitory, was very skeptical on how it would be, but it turned out to be an experience to have.

United Arab EmiratesThe bed was old so it was thinned foam and hurts your back after sleeping there long time. There was also no common area for dining, and the stove to cook is on the floor 😅. Some lockers also have faulty locks so iffy to leave your things inside.
Location, free public parking, curtains around the bed provided privacy, and the host Shohaib was great and accommodating throughout my stay

LithuaniaYou can smell cigarettes in the room because the room door is 24 hours open. The hostel's door is also open until late evening and the room was just 2 steps away so you can hear all the noise. The bed makes a lot of noise so I couldn't sleep almost all night. There is no check-in desk so you can't ask anything if you need. The airport is 1h by bus far so I am not sure if it is good location
It is a cheap place. It's probably the cheapest places in Abu Dhabi. Toilets are clean. There is a shared kitchen and washing machine

IndiaMy personal experience- Property is hard to find as I didn’t have a local sim/ internet and I was so late in the night, I have to walk the entire neighbourhood and borrow a restaurant workers phone to finally get to the property. An exact location on the map would be useful. Other than that no issues with the property and host is amazing
Nice cozy bed and room for a short stay. I’m transiting through Abu Dhabi and wanted a place to crash for the night. Absolutely reasonable price and decent for a night stay.
