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...).

IsraelVery small, uncomfortable bed. Very rigid and unhelpful rules - I wanted to leave my bag for two days, and though I did it several times in different hostels before with no problems, this time they refused to do it (though I wanted to pay for that!)

RomaniaNo heating, with -2 outside during the night! Bed at ground level was actually a mattress directly on the floor!!!! Very small and suffocating room with 3 bunk beds each side, really difficult to access. Dirty blankets, smelling like mold.
The only good thing was the private bathroom of the 6 bedded dormitory.

I added to the blacklist for falsely accusation that I was rude to the receptionist and when I asked to see the CC TV videos as I am sure 100% it was not me. They refuse to show me the video and saying its private property and we do what we like!

NorwayMy recent stay at Smart Hyde Park View Hostel was nothing short of fantastic. The staff's friendliness and helpfulness stood out right from the start. A massive thank you to George, who went above and beyond by relocating me to a 6-bed all-female room without any additional cost when I had initially booked an 8-bed mixed room (which coincidentally turned out to be all male). His proactive and considerate approach was greatly appreciated! Other things worth mentioning are spacious lockers ensuring the security of personal items, and the cleanliness of both the room and the private bathroom within the shared 6-bed space. And curtains to close around your bed. 10/10! The hostel's location was another winning factor, making it convenient to explore the city. I highly recommend Smart Hyde Park View Hostel for budget-conscious travellers seeking a clean, secure, and welcoming stay. Will definitely come back! Thank you once again to George and the entire staff for their outstanding hospitality!

NetherlandsThe mattrass was not very comfortable - I could feel the springs and every time I moved a little, the bed made a loud, squeeky sound. My bed was next to the central heating, which was very hot but it could not be turned off. I slept with the window open which was fine - but I was lucky it was not super cold outside. A bin in the room would have been nice.
Great location in the centre of London, a 1 minute stroll from Hyde Park and near other major attractions. The hostel is cozy, super affordable and the staff was incredibly friendly. They were so helpful and I felt really welcome. The price for breakfast was £6.50, which is less than usual.
