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):
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.
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.).

United KingdomThe staff could have been way more available and attentive behind the desk when needed. Due to having a foreign phone I had trouble connecting with the phone nr they displayed on the desk. Therefore receiving the help I needed took way longer than it should. Also since it is so central and the hostel is a part of a venue, it can be very loud at night (though it did not bother me that much.) The female bathroom could have been cleaner.
The staff were quite helpful when I first arrived, and the location is ideal if you enjoy being very central and near where all the nightlife is. The all-female dormitory was quite spacious consisting of very comfortable beds. I generally loved that it was connected to a venue that had a bowling alley and a pizza restaurant with live music, so it was easy to make new local friends.

United KingdomAlthough I saw from the previous reviews about the loud noise I couldn't believe how loud it actually was, the karaoke singers felt like they were in rhe room with us and the club music rattled the walls. I brought decent earplugs, which I used on the 2nd night after getting almost no sleep on the first night (weekends). Staying in a hostel, you expect some noise and disruption, but this was extreme. I did not use the showers as I found the individual cubicles very dirty (lots of hair etc) and in the communal one there was a man sitting in the middle of room on his phone so I did not feel comfortable showering there.
The staff were friendly and helpful. I stayed in a female only dorm (6 beds), and the bed linen, towels, and room were very clean. The location is great. The lounge had a great setup with sofas and desks to plug in devices, etc.

United KingdomThey don't pay attention to hygiene, they clean once or twice in a week. Surprisingly I saw rodent (rat) yesterday morning. Also the button bed is not high enough for an average adult to seat on.
I like the high roof considerating the people on the bunk top. The Kitchen is specious and well equipped. The toilets, and bathroom rooms are well built in sections. The location is superb.

GermanyI didn't get my late check-in request approved, even though it went through. I was super stressed wondering if they left an envelope for me or not. Of course they did, but a quick yes or no would have been super helpful!
The Lanes bar and Staff are suuuper nice and I really enjoyed the stay. The location was close to all my destinations, easily manageable by foot.

United KingdomThe linoleum was lifting, possibly from damp. The communal kitchen was not in great order, dirty and full of dirty dishes. There were several areas in the corridors where the ceilings were damaged and the walls were significantly water damaged and mouldy. The whole communal area had a strange smell. The furniture was definitely past its best. The beds in the communal area were pushed together instead of being nicely distanced, even though the room was very large. I did not stay for my third night, and if I could have requested a refund, I would have. I paid £18 a night and you don't get what you paid for. I didn't expect it to be perfect, being a hostel, however I did expect the building to be in good repair and sanitary in the communal areas. As there were no staff at night there was no one to speak to if anything was wrong. In summary, the place doesn't seem fit for habitation until it's had some intense refurbishment.
I liked that the towels, bedding and showers appeared to be very clean and were comfortable to use. The bedding was warm. The staff were friendly when I contacted online and were able to help me with all of my requests even though I never met them face to face. It's in a great location, shops, bus stops and train station in walking distance.

United KingdomNo towels were available for us to wash but i don’t think that is always the case. Not a fan of the sort of indoor cabin wet rooms, tend to prefer standard showers and loos, but totally fine.
The beds and bedding was extremely comfy and better than I usually find in this type of hotel. Location is great, in the middle of town and it was great to get a private room for the 4 of us. Prove was exceptionally good value for location and comfort, I don’t remember when I’ve had such a good offer. Lovely bar downstairs with gorgeous bowling lanes open until 12.
