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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 KingdomI liked everything!
I was very, very pleasantly surprised by this hostel. In the past when staying in other hostels I have struggled to find a power outlet to charge my items, which when travelling is a real worry as you never want your devices to be out of battery. Smart Hyde Park View completely removed this worry for me as each bed has its own power socket, as well as a USB charger slot. Beds were comfortable and there was plenty of space to move around between the beds which was great! I also loved the cleanliness of the bathroom, the fact that there was a bathtub in the bathroom and the lovely colourful hallways! Staff were also very friendly, and the location is excellent, just a few minutes walk from Queensway Station and lots of wonderful restaurants (I recommend Uzbek Corner in Queensway Market!) and it was easy to walk to the Victoria and Albert Museum across Hyde Park. I would definitely choose this hostel again next time I am in London!

ItalyNoisy from the street, the room was a bit small. A man insulted me from the door when I left ( I was a fxxing bxxh ) he said, "CONGRATULATIONS for this place that at the receptions "looked like so professional", just look like. Was so annoyed having to carry my linen back to the reception when I checked out. THEY WROTE NOT IN ENGLISH.
Only 20 minutes from the museum and apparently a safe side of the city. Close to Hyde Park (but not in view). The shower in the room was good to be a hostel.

United KingdomIt was hot summer and the provided dan was broken.Heat was unbearable to the top of the bunk beds . Staff had provided a fan with a stand and it worked only for bottom of the bunk bed. Staff was not ready to provide any solution.it’s great if the staff of the reception can be supportive and pleasant.
Location is perfect for travellers and it is easy to access metro. Luggages can be secured early before checking.

AustraliaI asked very far in advance to be paired with my friends and I got told I could but then upon arrival we got split up. My locker did not work at all which was kind of annoying.
Breakfast was good! Location was good. I liked how there were curtains and the bed set ups were pretty good. I also loved the colouring of the rooms.

United KingdomThe layout as it got congested at times. People were loud when coming in and not being considerate of others sleeping despite there being signs in the corridor. I kept being woken up multiple times by people turning on and off the light and talking loud. Banging things constantly when going past
I like the fact that they had a space where you could chill out before going back to room

United KingdomThe lift was a bit questionable in terms of speed and shakiness. Guests in room next door arriving at 3am sounded super loud and that's when I discovered the walls are incredibly thin. I could hear them open their suitcase, talking (at quite loud volume) and put their stuff away in the wardrobe against the wall. Also the breakfast was a lot more basic than I expected for it being at extra charge, it was really just toast with toppings, boiled eggs and 3 types of cereal.
Clean room, comfy bed and bathroom toiletries being in refillable containers was nice to avoid plastic waste. Staff were nice and willing to help with any requests

United StatesThe fan was falling off the wall and couldn't be run because it was placed too close to the TV. The bathtub was rotting. The toilet seat didn't fit the toilet, and the toilet didn't flush well. The cups left in the room hadn't been cleaned and had lipstick stains on them. I also woke up to find a giant bug in the bathtub. Would not recommend.
