Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

United StatesThe staff was amazing and they went above and beyond to make you feel at home and like a part of the family. They cooked food for the guests and they gave great recommendations on places to go in the city. It really made me see how hospitable Jordanians are and it gave me a new appreciation for the culture. I will definitely be back!

TaiwanThe Castle Star is great hostel, not only good price and location, but also nice staff and the best view. Staff ( maybe is owner, I am not sure ) helped us found the driver from airport to Amman, tell us a lot of useful information. On the night, the terrace can see old town's light, I loved it. Even Amman was very cold in February, but The Castle Star had hot water for shower, so don't warry about that. The most important thing is the bathrooms are separated for men and women, which is very helpful for female solo travelers. If you are looking for a place where you can meet kind locals, don't miss this place!

Czech RepublicIn the evening we did not have warm water - only cold. In the morning if you left the water running for few minutes it was warm
Staff was very nice. We paid for breakfast - that was very good. Location is good - nearby is Amman downtown where you can get something to eat.

Hong KongI don't know how it is possible that when I get the confirmation from Booking, the tax and other charges are indicated as included. However when I was physically there to pay, the hostel added extra, and explained that it was for tax and other charges. Also being almost at the top of a hill makes walking up a bit tiring
It was in a quiet area. The room has a nice view of the Roman amphitheatre.

A very short walking distance to the amazing Roman theater and convenient access to the Amman fortress on the other side. A very pleasant experience altogether, good value for money and caring staff

United KingdomAmazing location, very clean and comfortable rooms, and exceptional staff. My friend lost their phone in a taxi as we arrived, our tour guide, staff and hotel owner went to great lengths to track down the car the next day, which was some miles outside of Amman, and arranged the return of the phone!

United KingdomThere was only one issue with this property. The drain in the bathroom floor didn't drain very well so the water that splashed out of the shower sat on the floor. This wouldn't have been a problem most likely at any other time of year but as it was winter the air temperature wasn't warm enough for it to evaporate!
The location of this property was great if you want to visit the Citadel (just behind the property), the Roman Ampitheatre and downtown Amman. It was situated on a quiet road with plenty of road parking, which was required as we had hired a car. The property's best feature was the wonderful view it had over the Roman Ampitheatre and the bustling main streets of Amman. The staff were lovely and someone was available at any time of day at the desk in case of any issues. The property had a relaxed atmosphere and felt like it was run by authentic locals as opposed to a chain. The room was a good size with a very comfy bed and suitable duvet cover for the chillier winter nights. Although small, the bathroom was well equipped with a good shower.

SlovakiaCan't think about anything is particular, for the price, this was a great deal.
Location and views. Got a room with nice views of Amman, really great in the evening and night. Not far to walk downtown and see the area. Also, much quieter than the other similar accommodations. The building might look simple in the beginning, but the rooms are clean, the aircon works, and the hot water is available.
