How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewNice location & clear instructions how to enter the building
I had a private room with bathroom. The bed was a paper thin mattress no bed frame on top of some kids foam alphabet cushions . You may as well sleep on the floor as it’s just the same. If you are hoping for a comfortable good night sleep, choose somewhere else. Room also smelt a bit musty

Verified reviewThe location was great. The property was not nice.
The entrance to the building and the stairwell was a bit grubby. The actual hostel was not good at all. I realise it is cheap but I still expected a higher standard than what is offered here. The room was very dated and dirty looking. There was a chair that had a lot of staining on it which I would not sit on.I had 2 hand towels and no bath towel. It's the first time I have seen a shower room with no tiles, just painted walls. The main issue I have with this place is the stairs to the loft area. I could guarantee that they would never pass any building standards in the U.K or meet any health and safety standards. I didn't feel safe on them so I left and booked accommodation elsewhere. I messaged the property to tell them about the situation and in the reply they stated that the stairs are clearly depicted in the photographs, however you can't tell what they are like until you see them in real life and as I said I feel they are dangerous. I was booked for 2 nights but I wouldn't even stay for 1 night.

Verified reviewThe location is excellent right next to public transport so easy to get around. The communications for getting into the property were excellent and there is a washing machine that can be used included in the rate. This was brilliant. The common kitchen was good. The room was basic but nice, no air con but a great fan. Lots of hangers to use for drying clothes and I love there was doors to open to the outside v small balcony.
No hooks or anywhere to hang thing's in the bathroom, the mattress could be on a bed base rather than just on the floor.

Verified reviewThe hostel is very close to the metro and has a fully private room with its own bathroom, so it was just right for a simple solo stay.
Since it's facing a main road, you can hear traffic noise at all times. It's common in big cities, but sensitive people might find it bothersome.

The steps to the bed were steep, and I had to think twice before starting the journey.

Verified reviewLocation easy to find if you are arriving very tired straight from the airport. I liked that a fully equipped kitchen is available - except for a clothes dryer. There are supermarkets and eating places on the doorstep. Transport links are very good, and on the doorstep.
Black mould in the bathroom and also on the kitchen wall. I was cold at night. The small heater helped but I really needed more bedding. The soundproofing is non-existent and the walls are paper-thin. The guys in the room next door kept me awake on the second night - there's no one on site and it was too late to call anybody about it. The sound of the traffic is almost constant and very loud!
