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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 KingdomNothing was wrong as far as hostels go but I should have paid heed to a review I read about mosquitoes. Do take insect repellent for the night.
It’s a good hostel and very well run. We weren’t expecting fabulous facilities and we were not disappointed. Everything thing is clean, however, and both staff and other customers were friendly and helpful.

United KingdomCould improve Wi-Fi
Like my memory of youth hostels when I was a child. A feeling of community and a relaxed holiday vibe in a space right next to centre of town. We only stayed one night - brought our own towels and had a quiet sleep. My kids who have only known paces like Premier Inn were horrified at first at sharing communal showers and wash facilities but admitted by the time we left it was a cool place.

United StatesFamily next door was loud and had children running back and forth late into the night. Not the fault of the property at all, but noise carries well at this location, so you may want to bring earplugs.

AustriaSomehow I misread that there were no bathrooms in the rooms when I made the booking. The beds were incredibly uncomfortable. Internet didn't work at all. Thin walls, you can hear people in neighbouring rooms snoring all night. Also garbage under the beds from previous people. And very hot at night. But hey, it's cheap.
Parking was easy and the location is very convenient. The staff were very nice and helpful.

United KingdomIt was advertised as having parking when this wasn't actually the case. Plenty of local car parks, but not always easy to tell is you needed to pay or how long you could stay.
Lovely atmospheric building. Friendly and helpful staff. Easy to find your way around and meet others staying. Fantastic breakfast. Easy walking distance to town centre. Our room had ensuite facilities and a separate room for the double bed from the single beds. Also good outdoor space for our son to run off some energy!

United KingdomThe gate was locked when we arrived, we called but no answer, we messaged but no one came to let us in, in the end we had to take the kids for food before checking in 3 hours later. The room was fine buy the bathroom didnt have a toilet. And we were eaten by mosquitoes very badly due to having to have the windows open as it was so hot.
