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...).

PortugalNo kitchen - there's a kettle and microwave in the TV room. Showers are not too comfy - one shower in the dorm room of 12, and there's no window or place to put your clothes, so you basically have to come out damp and change in the room. Lack of kitchen is a little annoying - the hostel is above a pub and I think they want you to get your food and drinks there. But, on the other hand, you're in Camden, so there are late night takeaways everywhere and a choice of supermarkets so you can get a selection of microwave food..
24 hour access, good location. Friendly guests you can hang out with.

NetherlandsThe biggest issue was that the rooms just were not clean. The trash was taken out and the bathroom got cleaned everyday, but the shower smelled bad and I think there was mold in the bathroom as well. There was hair and stains on the bedsheets and linens when I arrived. I asked if I could get new bedding, which the staff was really nice and helpful about(!), but the new bedding also had stains. I’m sure they were washed, but it didn’t feel like you were in a clean room.
The Inn has a fun pub and a pretty good “hanging out” space. The staff is super nice and helpful. I felt safe in this hostel, the security is good (you get keycards to access the room and the hostel).

FranceThe bar under is noisy, lights are automatic so there are often on during the night, shower is small and aggressive. There is no real kitchen, just microwave.
The location is perfect, there is a bar under and a lot of food shop in the street. The reception is open 24/24 and there is a breakfast. Others people were nice and events are planned for the evenings.

BelgiumNo privacy curtains. The ladies in the room were not thoughtful, especially in the morning. Lots of street noise (lots of sirens) coming in. I slept so poorly that towards the end of the trip I was a zombie. The staff is not the friendliest, except for housekeeping, they were nice. Not sure why early check in is not done at this hostel...
The bed was quite okay. The room size too (6 bed female dorm). The water pressure in the shower was good. The room was cleanish. The lockers under the bed were spacious. The location is quite good, definitely go check out Camden market. There is a bar downstairs if you want to go for a drink. Good connection to west end.

United StatesI paid a bit more money under the assumption I was to get a double bed, as in the description. Instead I got two single bunk beds. There was another option for a private room that was cheaper and I believe I would have received the same room. Not sure why I paid ~$20 more a night for the bunk bed room. The breakfast was pretty weak. Overall solid experience though.
The location is fantastic. Right in Camden near two tune stops, plenty of busses. The staff did a great job of cleaning my room everyday. For a hostel I thought it was very quiet and respectful at night, greatly appreciated.

AustraliaI think if all the beds were full it might be a bit cramped but again that is to be expected.
The room was quite spacious considering how many beds were in there, but thats to be expected really with the shared hostel room like I had. Great location in the heart of Camden and perfect for a short stay!

United Kingdomthe showers were too powerful for the cubicles? or the head was at a weird angle so you basically had to be in the curtain to have a shower (in the room I was staying in)?
The location was perfect and basic facilities as expected. The chill out space downstairs was great and never too busy. Love a hostel with curtains on the beds!
