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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 StatesThe facilities need a bit of repair. It seemed their pipes were leaking and they had towels sopping up the water. Overall no complaints though for the price.
The staff were lovely. They were kind and very willing to help with any questions we had. The social events were a great way to meet the other ladies, and the terrace was a nice place to sit and enjoy the outdoor air. The underground is nearby, and there are a few nice little restaurants around as well.

AustraliaThe room storage was poor. Baskets under the beds were difficult to get to in some situations almost impossible. Not everyone had a locker. A stool in the room (I was in a 6 bed) would have been handy along with hooks on the walls for hanging coats, towels etc. The bunks moved alot and were noisy.
Convenience if location. Only female hostel. Friendly staff. Great kitchen and shared common area.

GermanyThe shower and toilet stalls were next to each other so the water from the showers would flow into the toilet and made the floor wet and inconvenient to navigate. The stairs are pretty narrow and there is no elevator so keep that in mind when bringing in a big luggage. In my room, my bed was positioned in a way that there wasn't enough space for me to open the storage trunk properly to keep my things so I had to mostly keep it outside.
I really appreciated the location - it was right across the bus stop where the National Express dropped me off (from Stanstead airport) which was great since I arrived late at night. The nearest tube station was 2 min walk away so well connected to the rest of the city. Brick Lane and Shoreditch are an easy walk away. Many supermarkets and coffee shops within walking distance as well. The kitchen was very well equipped which was helpful. The fridge also had a shelf for free food which I was grateful for. The reception staff is warm, friendly, and super helpful. The desk is open 24x7 so also never a problem to check-in late.

United KingdomThe night time receptionist guy was pretty unnecessarily blunt and not particularly helpful, instead of giving wrong info he should just say that ask the daytime staff if needed. If you are noise sensitive (I am not), note that the location of the hostel is along a main road, next to a pub and the tube, you will hear noise from them, but then again that is London. Common area is fairly small, but its an old building, and nothing major.
Good location next to Bethnal green, direct bus from Stansted available throughout the night. Friendly daytime staff. Overall a very good stay in a hostel. I recommend the six bed room for space. Ask for a bottom bunk if you are mobility impaired. Good privacy with a curtain. Comfortable bed, would go back if needed.

GermanyI had some snorring people in the room. Sometimes I wish there was a room reserved for snorrers only... But I guess it's unlikely that they would tell in advance... Nothing what the hostel could change
the accommodation is well located, not too far from the park areas, so you can always go for a nice morning run and not too far from the center. Even bike stations are to be found close by. They have a piano and daily dinners/ activities =)

United KingdomI was surprised by the size of the room which was to me quite small and not enough space to move around especially if you want to pull out the storage box which is under the bed. The bathroom doesn't have a fan or some sort of ventilation so it was often very humid and hot and left quite untidy. The fridge in the kitchen should have more shelves, because it looks a mess with lots of food just pushed in it.
I liked the position of the hostel and the proximity to public transport and other useful facilities like shops, pharmacy, park,.. Although the position of the hostel is right on the street, I didn't find too noisy during the night and I'm a light sleeper.

ItalyThe common area was not that big so not a lot of people could hang out. On my floor there were just 2 toilets for all the rooms so I had to cue at night, but it wasn’t a big problem as you could check the other ones on other floors.
Felt safe and comfortable, the kitchen was always clean as well as for the common areas. The stuff was super friendly and gave me a lot of advice for my vacation.

FranceToo crowded and noisy in the common area, but also in the corridors at night. I would have liked to have a quiet place to rest. Almost no room to store food in the fridge unfortunately. Ambiance perfume was regularly sprayed by the cleaning team in common areas, and in particular the kitchen, but also (not purposely I think) on plates & cutlery on the drainer, which, I think, isn't very good for health.
Good location, close to the underground, and many grocery stores. Good concept, only for women.

FranceThe room gets quite hot in the afternoon, especially since I had no curtains and was close to the window The room was a bit smaller than expected but it wasn’t a problem since I only stayed for the night
The staff was lovely, very welcoming! Plenty of products available in the showers (shampoo, conditioner, etc.) The other people I was sharing the room with were very quiet, which is great for a hostel! Very close to tube station (1 station away from liverpool station) Overall I was impressed by this hostel and its quality (finding a good and affordable accommodation in London is not easy!)

GermanyThe 4-bed room was quite small. When one person got up, it was difficult for others to move around, which was a bit inconvenient. Despite this, the common area was comfortable with sofas, chairs, tables, and plenty of power outlets. On top of that, there was some dirt on the blanket, so I only used the bedsheet. It was warm though.
The proximity to the Tube station was fantastic, making it easy to explore the city. The hostel is well-equipped with amenities, including a leisure area and a well-stocked kitchen.

GreeceI stayed at this hostel for 5 nights. A very nice experience. The beds were comfortable and cozy, the place was pretty and the stuff were really kind and helpful. There was hot water every time I wanted to shower. The movie night was awesome! Also, Bethnal green is a very interesting neighborhood and the hostel is near the tube station which makes it accessible. I also liked the fact that it's a women only hostel. Feels like a safe place. A very good value for money. I would stay again.
