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 KingdomAs it's a busy (thriving and popular) hostel, you will encounter noise from neighbouring bedrooms/dorms as well as people's comings and goings, and the trains. This didn't bother us at all, despite us being oldies compared to the other young people staying! We us d the provided earplugs and slept really well. The convenience and the other pros more than make up for it, and it's value for money and location are hard to match. We stayed two nights and on the second night it was significantly more quiet, so I guess it depends. You'll be out enjoying yourselves anyway!
Friendly staff, easy check in, safe and secure premises. We booked a bedroom for two people, which was very clean and comfortable with towels provided, a kettle, drinking water and a fan. The beds were comfortable. We found the showers to be clean and hot. We enjoyed the breakfast served in the bar in the morning - toast, cereal, fruit, juice, tea and coffee. Really nice pub downstairs. Extremely handy for Waterloo trains and tube, as well as local buses, easily walkable to the South Bank, London Eye and Westminster. Fun neighbourhood in Lower Marsh, with eateries, shops, cafés etc on the doorstep is a bonus.

AustraliaAs stated it is super loud, we weren't expecting this loud. The trains run from 6am-12pm and are incredibly loud and squeaky. Ambulance sounds are loudest I've heard in any country. We we're on the top floor so WiFi had a poor connection and some days didn't work at all. Stairs are very narrow and steep if you have a lot of luggage and need to lug it up 4 flights. Similar to a lot of European countries but I wasn't aware of this on booking
Hostel was centralled located in London. We had a private room which was nice. Bathrooms facilites were clean. Free breakfast was a bonus. Pad lock codes were a bonus for security. For price, is okay.

FranceRight next to the train line, and the walls/floors are paper thin so can be quite noisy. It was ok for us in the end as we are good sleepers, but might be too much for some.
Great location close to central London, 10 min walk to Big Ben. Friendly staff and facilities generally good.

Bosnia and HerzegovinaThere is no dedicated space to put your accessories and overall there is no storage space near beds. The toilet is small but it does provide soap, toilet paper and a hand dryer.
All of the staff were amazingly friendly and welcoming. The location couldn't be more perfect and the price is unbelievably low for London.

IrelandThe facilities are very much the bare essentials. One toilet per floor and very few plug sockets in the shared rooms. The only place to chill out is at the bar which is a great environment when feeling social but it's often busy and loud so not great if you want somewhere to relax
Staff were very friendly and helpful. The location is great, very central, and close to a tube and train station.
