Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 StatesTiny bathroom & toilet (for cosmonauts, apparently), water on the floor (instaling a sliding door would make a huge difference). Bed bug found on the sliding curtain. No towels and toilet paper provided by default. No chairs in the room.
Location: very good. 15-20 minutes' walk to Euston station, Regents park, etc. Room: entrance by passcode, light is switched off automatically at 23:00. Lockers are present. Bed: Clean bed and linen (make the bed yourself, though). Soft bed, pillow is firm enough. Local light, sliding curtain. Spacious common area inside and outside.

United KingdomBit awkward trying to make your own bed on arrival as it was quite late at night and I was top bunk. The amount of noise you could hear with people walking past your door and in the corridor.
The location, the amount of space inside the room. It was reasonably clean minus the bathroom which had now been used several times before I'd arrived. . Friendly staff

United KingdomThe dorm room felt a bit small but they serve the purpose well. Even the addition of a foldable chair would have been really helpful in the room.
The common space is nicely decorated and gives a spacious vibe. The kitchen area is functional and having separate toilets outside of the shower space is a great use of space. Great Camden location close to the action.

FranceBathroom is very small and gets easily damp everywhere - also cause the shower is not properly enclosed. Probably a bath mat outside the room would be a good idea. - USB ports near beds charge very slowly (but there are sockets in the room)

United KingdomIf you're looking for a budget hotel this is really the one for you. The space was quite constricted but not too bad for a private room. it was for two straight days that the fire alarmed around 1am. Everytime it was a false alarm.
The room was pretty clean. We stayed for 2 days and the room service was excellent. The bed is comfortable and we got extra pillow each so thats on the plus side! Location wise its accessible near Euston and there's a bus station in front. 9/10 for me. Ps on a hot day in London, the AC was excellent!

United KingdomI had an issue with bed bugs in the second room I was in, this is obviously because of people bringing them not the hostels fault at all. But I have had a bad experience with this in the past but was put at ease by the staff. It would have been nice to be refunded my last day as I was a little close to booking elsewhere but as this is the season for bed bugs didn’t want to risk worse tbh. Overall they handled this very well as once again it was not their fault
Amazing kitchen facilities and beautiful outdoor terrace. I was only staying here while my flat was renovated and I’m glad I chose here!

SwedenNo chairs in the rooms, which are very small. The area to do the dishes in is small and gets crowded during breakfast.
Very affordable. 3 min walk to Underground. 24 h open reception. Lots of restaurants nearby. The hostel and the street below were quiet at night, despite the 'thin walls'. We had a 6-bed room to ourselves (family of 5).

PortugalThe beds are very small and uncomfortable. Mine was also missing part of the curtains. Its ok for 1/2 days but for longer I would say get a more comfortable place even if it has worse location.
The location is great! The female room has a bathroom inside the room which is also nice. Someone came to clean room and bathroom right after I arrived and in the day after.
