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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

NetherlandsBut being a basement without airco the windows were open and people outside were noisy for the best part of the night and morning. Only two toilets means a good wait time in the morning. The 100 euros deposit, I understand it but I haven't seen it in 20 years of hotels and hostels.
Love the cubes to sleep in a hostel, much better than the usual stacked beds. Nice common area and plenty of showers. Quick reception and great to be able to enter with codes at night. Amazing location being so close to the train station...

United KingdomThis could be the time of the year (August). There were many mosquitoes in the dormitory room and no repellents around. I was bitten all night. Perhaps I should have researched better re conditions in Lille.
Staff were polite and helpful. Bathrooms were clean.

BelgiumIt is not that I disliked it, but the fact that there were only three toilets for men (two in the basement and one near the reception) was somewhat surprising. In most of the hostels I have stayed at throughout Europe, there were typically more toilets available. However, given the structure of the building, there is likely little that can be done to improve this.
I would say that this hostel offers good value for money. I was specifically looking for a clean place near the city centre, and it met my expectations. I stayed in a large dormitory with 18 beds, most of which remained unoccupied during my stay, which was ideal. Contrary to other reviews suggesting that street noise made it difficult to sleep, I did not find it particularly disruptive. While it was somewhat noisy, this is to be expected in the city centre, especially with numerous restaurants, bars, and snack shops within 10 metres on both sides of the hostel. The two receptionists, both young and very helpful, were exceptionally friendly and kind. After checking out, I left my luggage earlier in the day and returned later after the conclusion of the conference I was attending. The young lady at the reception kindly allowed me to store my backpack alongside my other belongings. Additionally, the cleaning lady were diligent and maintained a high standard of cleanliness throughout the premises.

United KingdomThe kitchen is pretty small and can get easily crowded. Also other than the tap in the kitchen, there isn't anywhere to fill up your water which is a bit tricky.
This hostel is right outside the train station, so ideal for a quick stop. I am also a fan of pod hostels, so the room situation was ideal. Quite spacious and secure lockers (bring your own locks). If you book through booking.com you also get your towel in the price! A nice and upscale hostel in a good location. Will store your bags in a conference room as well on request! Ventilated rooms are great in this heat as well.

AustraliaHostel was in the basement so it got hot at times. The area near the station didn’t feel safe as a solo traveller (not the hostels fault, just something to note). No lift so lugging heaving suitcases up and down the stairs was not fun
Close to station. Spacious pod with room on the side of your mattress for personal items. Helpful with onsite laundry option - 9.50e

United KingdomThe only thing with my room was the bathroom floor was a bit needing a refurb, it could do with a bit of love. A small thing to fix for much better reviews!
The hotel is a brilliant location, accross the road from Flandres station, it was so easy to get to - a 5 minute walk from Lille Europe as well. There are plenty of bars and shops nearby and it seems a pretty safe area. The room itself was very big, spacious, had utensils and everything worked fine! Id recommend the room for a short to mid long stay in Lille

United StatesThis didn't bother me at all, but if you're into the really social, boozy hostels, this place is NOT the hostel you're looking for.
The bed was very comfy and the storage locker was very large. A nice gentleman working there kept the kitchen area very clean and tidy, which is unusual for hostel. Location was very convenient to Lille-Flandres.

United KingdomThis is our 3rd stay but now the rooms, especially the bathrooms need complete refurbs. Booked a superior room but did not want a room with a dormer window and only being able to see a roof. Was given another room which was a standard but was very tatty. Finally got a superior room but was far from ‘superior’. They are refurbishing the common areas and bathrooms according to the notices dotted around but didn’t see any sign of work being done. It’s a shame as I like the position of the hotel (even with people hanging around shouting and drinking!) I have to say even though I was not happy, the staff did their best to accommodate me. Hopefully will stay again, if the rooms are refurbished.

United KingdomThe bathroom was very basic. The shower had what looked like it should be a 'rainfall' attachment, except the overhead part had a cap screwed over the end of the pipe so your only two options were to use the (leaky) handheld nozzle or open the cap and essentially have an open pipe drop water on you. We did ask reception if we could get a new shower head but they didn't help us - there might have been a language barrier issue (despite me showing them the attached pic). On the plus side, there was a bath as well, so I just used that instead.
The room was lovely and spacious, it looked as it did in the photos. There was a mini kitchen with a fairly big fridge. The sofa, desk and dining table were a nice touch. The location is superb - ten mins walk to all the major sights and fun areas of Lille. Also super close to the Eurostar and metro stations.
