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 KingdomThere was an incessant rumbling throughout the building, which I can only assume was the underground, but it made me a little worried as my drinks were rattling on the table. The room was incredibly hot, and the beds were a little cramped as they were three bunk beds in one. The lockers are a great touch, but mine didn't lock properly.
There was a worker at the bar who was very helpful, I don't want to assume their gender but I think they were male with long hair (just above his shoulders). He was very helpful and friendly. The chill out room was brilliant; very comfortable, and it provided a fridge, kettle, and microwave facilities with a TV and great selection of DVDs. The drinks and food were reasonably priced. I felt safe in the all female dormitory, and I was able to borrow a towel from the reception (as I had forgotten mine).

AustraliaI initially stayed in the 9 bed female dorm and it wa super cramped, the room heated up like a sauna, the tap in the bathroom only poured boiling hot water and the shower was not not great. There’s obviously no kitchen and also no social / community elements either. Really not an ideal stay.
The area was close to Camden markets and to the Northern line which was good. The 6 bed female dorm was spacious.

United KingdomMy keycard didn't work on day two - luckily it was daytime and this was rectified quickly. I hadn't brought a towel. it would be great if a small / medium-sized towel could be provided to guests either free or at a small charge. same with hairdryer.
I found my dorm room at St Christophers to be a decent size for the number of beds. The bed linen was clean and there were no bad smells. lots of windows onto Camden High Street meant it was airy and bright. A toilet, a basin and a shower were en-suite which was great. Staff in the bar were helpful even when busy.

United KingdomMaybe brown bread for toast would have been a nice addition. Coffee basic but again I wouldn't really expect artisan coffee when paying a fiver for brekkie.
The breakfast is basic but for a fiver you cannot knock it. Fresh, nicely laid out and plenty food to set you up for a day in London.

United KingdomWell the beds aren’t very private in the shared room so if you want to have sex unless you wanted everyone to see it would have been a bit public in the room and just thinking I could have booked a double or maybe as a hostels general rule you could have a curtain or net curtain maybe around the beds or those surf beaded ones?
I loved the friendly staff member Scott and I loved the friendly meeting area with tvs and formula 1 racing on. I like how Belushis has a big bar area and a bar going sorta tourism interested crowd of people and I liked the underground food area and the drinks area!!

United Kingdom-Quite noisy (but it is in the middle of Camden!) and you can hear/feel the tube passing under you ^^ I was able to sleep though without ear plugs. -Beds are shorter than 6ft so if you're tall take this into consideration! -Lights don't turn off in the shower/toilet meaning you have to make sure the doors are closed so you can sleep!
+Great location +Reasonably comfy beds +Charging ports and lights next to bed +Easy to check in and get set up +Friendly staff

CanadaThere was a problem during my stay that wasn't fixed - there was only steaming hot water in the sink in my room, it was impossible to use it because of the temperature. I had to use the communal toilets to brush my teeth. Also, despite the daily cleaning, there was a pig in my room who created impressive mess in the bathroom every day - this is NOT the hostel's fault, just worth mentioning as you never know who could share the room with you. Breakfasts were okay, just your regular continental breakfast, got the job done but nothing fancy.
The staff were amazing! Very friendly and helpful! The bed, mattress, and pillows were very comfortable. The food at the bar was good. The location is superb! Easy to get to all the London essentials (the British Museum is only a 30-minute WALK away! And even faster by transit/taxi). Water in the shower was good temperature and high pressure.
