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 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 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 KingdomBathroom was smelly, the flush button on the toilet wasn’t even there, the room was on the second floor and had to climb 4 flights of stairs as there is no lift.
Secure building, room had a private bathroom which we were very thankful for, and conveniently only a 2 minute walk from a tube station.

PortugalAmazing location, with a Tesco and metro station nearby. The dorms are hostel dorms, nothing special. Three beds can be a bit much tho. The curtains give you a little privacy and the usb port right beside the bed is wonderful (so you don't need the uk adapter).

SpainThe bunk beds have three levels. Mine was the top one and even when the price is so low, you expect at least seat straight in the bed. I´m not tall and I couldnt seat straight because my head was touching the cealing... The toilets and showers were very worn out. Old facilities.
The price and the location. The staff was nice and helpful. When you pay this price for a bed you have to know what to expect. They haver a big kitchen and dinning room. Also lockers for a price.

I enjoyed staying here due to the privacy because it included a curtain to cover the bed. Don't forget adapter for charging. You can buy it at the hostel or at any store.

United KingdomBreakfast wasn't really worth paying for
Central location close to bus stop and tube to get around easily. Staff were really kind and super helpful. Storage under bed was big enough to accommodate a larger medium suitcase. Showers were warm and water pressure was good. Beds were comfy and had everything needed. Room temp was almost too warm so lovely in winter.

All night my legs were hurting because there was no space for me to relax.. the kitchen and bathrooms are nice, but I didnt come here to eat, I came here to sleep, that is the most important thint in a hostel and it was quite bad. During the night it was very hot snd there was no air in the room.

PhilippinesI booked for a bed months before and requested for a lower bunk bed due to my height. They acknowledged it but when I arrived at the property, the staff said he can't grant my request. Also, the cleaning staff took away my shampoo/conditioner in the bathroom. Just found out it's gone when I came back at the property (they shouldn't just dispose valuables without asking the guests).
Good location, just minutes away from Russel Square station

United KingdomThe bathroom is incredibly small, and so are the beds. The storage lockers are incredibly difficult to fit all your belongings into and are truly noisy. You will need a proper padlock to lock your belongings. Moreover, in the morning, it was quite challenging to take a shower, as there are 6 people in a bedroom, hence, wait times can be long if you don't get up sufficiently early. Changing in the bathroom is challenging, as everything becomes incredibly wet.
The location is superb, with ease of access to central London and Russel Square underground station, which connects you anywhere. With regards to noise, there are no complaints on this front, the neighbourhood is silent; my bed was close to the window, and I slept incredibly well. The heating was also working very well at times even a bit too hot. The shower was nice and warm too.

Australia3 flights of stairs lugging a suitcase is not easy! The kitchen strangely closed between 7pm and 7.30pm, right when we were trying to cook dinner for our kids. The beds were short, OK for me (170cm) and the kids, but my 185cm tall hubby was a little squashed. There was a good looking breakfast available each morning (I think it was 7 pound?) but we just did our own.
Great location, very close to Russell Sq tube station and a Tesco local supermarket. The Hop-on-hop-off-bus had a stop at the end of the street. Typical backpackers decor and facilities. Rooms are small, and private ensuite in the 4 bed room was absolutely tiny, but did the job and the shower was hot and strong. Room was warm and clean, and surprisingly quiet. Earplugs are provided for free from reception. Communal kitchen well equipped, and tables to eat at.
