What makes an accommodation a good one to stay or book? Theres no easy answer to that. Some people go for character and fun, others go for security and cleanliness.
and for some only the location is important because they only need a place to close their eyes for a minute or so 
So no review about one place will ever be the same, anyone can have a different opinion about the same location.
But if you reed between the lines in a review, you can find out if the place fits you! Just keep in mind what you want to get out of your accommodation.

Comments:
The Farah, in typical Amsterdam style, is an incredibly narrow building, with rooms on many floors. We had the only room on the ground floor which was great; however the climb up and down two flights of very steep stairs to the super-clean shared bathroom was a little precarious! Our room was very warm and included comfortable beds, table & chairs, fridge, sink & TV.....it also included a cabinet full of building tools and a roll of carpet. Despite these slightly odd additions to the room and the slightly strange layout of the building, we’d recommend the Farah if you are looking for somewhere to stay that's away from the bustle of central Amsterdam, but close enough to comfortably walk everywhere. The location is great – it’s only a short walk to the station, the central square & Anne Frank's house. Just leave your preconceptions about a "normal" guest house behind, because the Farah is definitely unique!

Please be aware that I was given a different price by the owner upon arrival as the one I was quoted online. She at first tried to tell me that The 10% deposit i had paid was not to come off the total price, but was a commission fee taken by the 0nline booking agency! we negaotiated a price which was still higher than the original. (even when including the 5% duty) Make sure that anyone else staying here keeps the phone number of the owner. we were given two keys - ansd the one that was supposed to open the front door did not. we were lucky when we returned later in the day that some others staying there let us in the front door and gave us the number of the owner so we could organise the caretaker to return and give us a key.. It wasn't a hostel as such - but a house with private rented rooms that no caretaker actually lives at.
