How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

It looks like the bunks may have been set up to have a curtain on them based on the rail, this would allow for lights to be on without disturbing others and an area to change.
Staff were super helpful, excellent modern facilities and very clean.

The facilities of the property is absolutely very good throughout. Staff members are helpful, in particular Evita & her colleagues. Will definitely recommend.

The night manager takes his job a bit to serious. Which is a good thing, but even whisper is not allowed.
The property is very close to everything and very clean. Enough people to hang out with and the day staff is very nice and helpful.

- • Solo traveller

- • Stayed 21 nights
I was there for a month, and there were a couple times that large university groups seemed to essentially take over the hostel for the weekend. This is not really the hostel's fault, but the second university group was so loud during the middle of the night for the two nights they stayed, so I wish there had been someone to enforce the quiet hours when groups that large and boisterous were around. Would have also loved to be able to do laundry at the hostel, but there was a laundry place down the street to use, so it wasn't a big problem.
This is the absolute CLEANEST HOSTEL EVER! I swear they cleaned the bathrooms two to three times a day. The wifi was amazing (I was working remotely while there and had 0 problems). The staff was friendly and helpful, and the common areas are perfect for working from. I don't often think "I need to come back here," but I will probably return to Cocoon at some point. It's a real gem of a hostel and seems to attracts digital nomads for good reason

I didn't like that there were no instructions. There needsto be an information sheet somewhere since there is no one present to ask. As it is, I have no idea what I could have done wrong. It was pure luck that I saw a sign telling me to put my dirty sheets there.
Big bed which could be one's private space. Nice balcony. Licely atmosphere thanks to part of the facilities being rented out for people to hold courses in.

This was my second time staying here, and the room on the second floor with a balcony is better than the one on the first floor. You can sunbathe clothes, and the air is also fresher. I even think the mattress is softer.

Dorms could have a small table or a chair or a stool, something to place things on.
Everything was great. There was even a hairdryer in the bathroom. Big tables in the lobby that can be used as working space. The pool is also a huge plus.

I was there in the low season, so the reception was not present (even though it said so in the booking confirmation). Also, there were no curtains in between the beds, so little privacy in the dorms. My room was right next to the street so it was quite noisy. Bring earplugs!
The location was great. The hostel was super clean, both the rooms and the common area
