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 KingdomI would have liked separate wash facilities outside of the room because when I arrived at 6pm other guests were sleeping in the room, so I couldn't put the light on to get changed and the only mirror didn't have it's own light so I had to go without makeup.

United KingdomNothig at all really
Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. I'd had my phone stolen in Camden Town, and one of the receptionists/bar staff was very supportive, being kind enough to allow me to use her phone to contact my mother about what happened, and to contact my bank to freeze my online account. Nice communal area downstairs to chat with others who were staying the night, and the bar itself had a warm atmosphere.

United KingdomHowever, distance between the middle bed and the upper was so small that I couldn’t sit on the bed without having to bend my head. I had to sleep as I was experiencing pain in my neck. The bathroom too was so small that you couldn’t stretch your hand while bathing without hitting it against the wall. Looks like they were so stingy with space. The bar was also too noisy with loud music till around 12am
Amazing and friendly staff. Quiet room and not crowded

United KingdomThe bathrooms had wet towels on floor which smelled across the room , probably been there for couple days. Paid deposit 2£ when checked in, then check out and checked to other room and was requested to pay deposit again! I didnt because i didnt get deposit back from first check out, and when i checked out again , i been told i didnt pay anything and they dont take responsibility for that. So guys are smiley, welcomming but dont expect more from them. - Area is popular for yung people but also dodgy with rude vulgar violent people. Very different from Sw London.

United KingdomThe shower, only a push button, so couldn't adjust temperature (which was warm but not a lovely hot shower) and only two hooks on top of each other. So for towels, clothes you're taking off, clothes you're putting on after extra hooks would make life easier. Toilets, the seats were loose and no mirrors, except for one in the dorm. The lockers in room seem safe but even after you locked it, it can be reopened, I tried all the ones with locks on and I could have taken anything from anyone. The fridge in common room is only an under the counter fridge, so it's jammed pack with stuff, you def. need a bigger fridge for the size of hostel.
Fantastic Staff, food (breakfast) and drinks with discount, beds amazing, duvet thick, all super clean, private light and plug in bed, curtains around the bed. Space in dorm to change or pack, you're not on top of each other. Very close to underground, super markets, restaurants, etc.

United KingdomWhile there was very little disturbance from other guests or noise within the hostel, there was a lot of noise outside. The windows were very old framed and did not shut very well or easily, and were left wide open meaning I had to climb into the window frame to shut them. After that the room stayed warm thankfully. But the noise remained an issue when at 6am we got woken up by what sounded like a beer delivery? Not much that can be done about this I suppose, but just to let others be aware.
Friendly staff, easy check-in, excellent location for visiting Camden and attending a concert at KOKO. The bar was welcoming, good food with discounts for staying there, and a music act on in the evening. Seemed very secure, room was basic but suitable beds, towels, and a small but clean bathroom.

FinlandThe beds were a bit squeaky and the lockers under the bed were a little infuriating because they made so much noise, were kind of hard to get to if you forgot something there and were really the only place to put your stuff in. But it was a pretty minor issue at the end of the day, I'd probably stay here again
Staff was really nice and you get sales to the bar as a hostel guest! Everything was clean and comfy and I feel like other guests made friends easily at the hostel, I wasn't there for long so can't say for myself! 24hr reception always makes me feel safe :)

United KingdomWish there were better facilities for preparing your own food, or even your own hot drinks. No cutlery, plates, bowls or mugs. No sink. Microwave and fridge in a very poor state
Staff are great. Stayed there a few times now and it has always been pretty calm and peaceful, despite being over a pub (which is a decent pub btw). Like the individual lights and power points with each bunk. Location has been great for me personally, but it is very handy anyway for transport and for everything Camden has to offer.
