Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomThe signpost with the name of the hostel at the entrance was filled with cobwebs and had me worried about how the inside of the hostel will be (not good for a first impression). The room was not soundproof. I could hear every sound - (people talking, walking, click of computers etc). The room heater did not work but I was given one when I complained. The hot water in the shower also did not work and I had started to have my bath in the morning (this was very upsetting). The bedsheet was clean but it was worn out with stains (they need to be thrown away).
The location and friendliness of the staff (thanks to Phil and Angela). The room was bigger than I expected it to be. The property was cleaned every morning and food items refilled. The WiFi worked perfectly and I could have my work meetings.

United KingdomNo towels! Beds weren’t overly comfortable, but fine for two nights. The place is a bit dated, but still fit for purpose.
Was great to have a private room which was very spacious. Breakfast provided was a great addition with the option to have food throughout the day too. Phil was very welcoming and always happy to have a chat. Very close to centre of Leeds and reasonably priced.

QatarThe positive and negative reviews here both make some valid points. Yes, there are some weird odors, some things (e.g. floor) could be cleaner, the wifi is iffy, and the staff behavior seems a bit, um, eccentric. However, the location isn't bad, the kitchen access is nice, and the provisions of food (even outside normal breakfast hours) seem pretty generous. Speaking for myself, a long stay here would be fatiguing, but for a night it was ok.

United KingdomNo curtains in the AFAB (female) dorms- The combination and light and sound pollution into the room made for a few restless night.
I've never stayed in a hostel before and the idea came for a friend- When I booked my expectations were mis-conceptive for sure. But the host Phill was very genuine and welcoming from the onset. The room I stayed in was the female dorms with bunk beds. The rooms and kitchen were clean and the kitchen was exceptional stocked with variety of bread, spreads and breakfast items available 24/7- giving that homely feel. The guests there were also very respectful during the late and early hours.

United KingdomOne of the bedroom guests were rude and inconsiderate, particularly one muslim woman who prayed on the floor without asking permission and blocked me from getting to my bed and when I asked her to move she was aggressive and very rude. I am always in favour of freedom of thought, speech and belief but when people in public conditions like shared rooms impose these thoughts and beliefs on others of dissimilar beliefs it is insulting and discriminative. Perhaps the hostel should inform residents that no religious ceremonies are performed in shared spaces.
Room clean, free tea, milk, toast, cereal all day, staff friendly and helpful, secure locking system.

TaiwanThe room is on the ground floor, but the toilet and shower are on the first floor. This is quite convenient. Also, there are only one toilet and one shower on the first floor.
The hostel is quite close to the train station and the price is low, which makes it good for travellers, especially those who have to take early trains. The room is clean and the staffs are friendly, but the counter isn't available at night (which is different from the information they provide on the site).
