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.).

PolandWhen I arrived I was very disappointed, as the room was tiny and awfully dirty, with guest's stuff and clothes everywhere, dirty floor. Bathroom was flooded and the toilet stinky and unflushed. There were 2 bunk beds, for 3 ppl each and there was so little space I couldn't sit on a bed (and I'm only 160cm tall...). Everything is dusty, with old hair stick to the mattress, the blankets were definitely not fresh. Loud at night, young guests were screaming and laughing in the corridor and I could hear everything. Very uncomfortable:(
Well located, there are shops and bars nearby, next to the park. There were two super friendly and helpful guys at the reception desk.

PolandNot much. The bunk beds need to be fixed a little bit , but if you don't have much expectations -its perfect. No view at all- a basement. Do not mistake the diffference between a hotel and a hostel:)
We took two rooms for two families (private). Both with ensuite bathroom. One was in the basement the other one on the ground floor. I stayed in the basement with my wife and two kids (8 and 13). Breakfasts included in the price. Buffet- good enough (toast, boiled eggs,butter, jam, cheese, nutella, coffee, tea, orange and apple juice). Perfect spot for travellers. We stayed for 4 full days and used the tube 3 times. From and to Liverpool station and to tower hill( we came back on foot). Pub 7 metres from the entrance:):):). Restaurants in about 10 minutr distance. Room cleaned every day. Staff more than friendly.

United KingdomI came to the hostel at 9am. My check in was from 2pm. I arrived earlier for my stay than expected due to the strikes had to travel earlier. I was more than happy to wait in bar area. Did not expect to be checked in that early Tiffany (staff member) quite arrogant. Mo was great. I asked if I could wait around in bar area until it was time to check in… Tiffany said hmmm so I asked should i be standing until 2pm then ? That’s when she allowed me to sit down. Paid for breakfast at 0930. Breakfast area was cramped with everyone. Long queues. Cutlery fell onto the fall and I saw the domestic staff giving it quick wash only. The same staff that were cleaning the water spillage in bar / reception area were the ones serving breakfast. There was no hot water on arrival due to the big splash that came from the ceiling. Check in for 2pm… room still not ready. I was checked in and then went to room and housekeepers had only just started to clean it Manager at this place has no people skills. Not once did she apologise for any inconveniences caused
I was transferred to the Russel square location which exceeded my expections. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean. Storage was safe.

Argentinathe last night when I come back from my day at midnight, when I went to the room all my staff that was on the bed, including valuable items, were on the floor mix with the blankets. I went to reception and the man there said that was my fault cause I was in the wrong bed (after 8 nights), that my bed was another one (in which several different people sleep during my stay) and I have to sleep in other bed. not even said sorry for throw your staff or at least said that could be a mistake of your part and not directly mine. the rest of the people in the reception were great but the night man who receive me was very rude.
the location, really close to all the public transport, and close to Paddington station. the option of the breakfast it’s short but very useful

United KingdomWell where to start the two staff were quite rude, disrespectful and all together was a very strange experience plus they almost refused our room because we had one extra even tho we paid £263 for one night in a "supreme double bedroom" which looked nice in the photos but fell way short. the bed and pillows are crap quality worse night in along while and the bathroom is like those cheap nasty caravan plastic style units with a shower that barely functions. dodgy almost home made elevator that knocks into shaft walls when in use Plus cleaners just walking into rooms without knocking even with a do not disturb sign. Avoid this place unless you are really stuck
Location to Hyde Park is the best thing about this place

BelgiumThe bathroom was a bit strange - not very conveniently constructed (you have to step into the shower to access/get to the toilet and sink), but acceptable for a short stay. The cleanliness could have also been a bit better. The breakfast in the hostel was a bit basic.
I stayed in a private room with a friend for 3 nights. The main advantage of this hostel is the location, which is very good - max. 10 minutes walking to the underground station Queensway from where you have many useful tube lines. It's also just a minute away from Hyde park which is a wonderful park. The room was ok, Wi-Fi worked well.
