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.).

AustraliaWas very noisy and is located above a pub. Was aware that it was a party hostel and would be a bit noisey, but the windows in the room weren’t able to close. Rooms could’ve been a bit cleaner, but we’re not bad.
It was typical hostel and well priced. Convenient location. Clean bathrooms.

AustraliaThere’s no shared facilities like a regular backpackers would have - so not great for saving money on food while you’re there. Obviously the pub is open quite late and patrons make lots of noise, it’s easy enough to tune out with headphones.
The location is fantastic, a very short walk from London Bridge tube station and the Borough Markets. Pub food is good and the discount on drinks is great too.

United KingdomThe overall service and experience was satisfactory. Therefore, no complaints whatsoever!
Couldn't fault the location if I tried... Room and shower were clean enough and staff were very friendly, courteous, helpful never mind professional and polite. Noise pollution from music coming from the bar downstairs was minimal and bearable as well as can be expected in any establishment of a similar nature, therefore wasn't an issue for me the least bit. I was also impressed by the ovedrall cleanliness of the room, common areas and facilities. Would definitely recommend to anyone out there looking for good value for money.

United KingdomExtremely loud music playing past 12 o o’clock during the week. Understandable during the weekend days but impacted my sleep and thought it should be quiet during the week.
The breakfast was good value for money as it was a buffet and there were eggs, bananas, orange juice and coffee included which is a good set up for the day. Thanks.

CyprusI very well knew what a hostel is, but i was the only woman in a room full of men. (4 people room) the room smelled awfull (but i dont think its a mistake of the hostel..but the people in the room), so i ended up spending the whole night on the hostels corridor outside, slept on a sitting position on the stairs, as i was feeling super sick in the room from how horrible the smell was. My personal opinion is, if a booking comes of a woman, it will be nice to suggest putting her with other women, even on a bigger room than what was requested, as it is possible she will feel safer and more accomodate!
Very Helpful Staff, right on top of a Pub (actually the Hostel IS the Pub) which was very nice and a pint with live music was an excellent idea before sleep. The access system to the Hostel is very modern and makes you feel super safe. I was there only for 6 hours for a quick sleep between travelling flights.

FinlandIn the evening there was too much noises and I guess people had drinks and having fun ,well I was completely tired and I slept well
It was a walking distance from the train station and to where I went to do my examination everything was near reach. I like the fact that the room was clean and bedsheets was white and the wall was white so it was perfect for me, I will still visit next time and will definitely book here, I will recommend to a friend. Thank you 😊

GermanyBecause of the bar on the ground floor, it is noisy when you sleep. The door can be open by bluetooth. It is nice in terms of safety, but it would be really bad if you can not use your phone properly. For example my phone was broken, so I have to ask to the maneger every time and they were too busy because they also work at the bar.
The location was nice, and I can enjoy the bar on ground floor anytime I want. And comparing to other dormitory rooms, the shower booth was clean. I guess the breakfast would be nice because you can eat as much as you want.
