Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

Morocco"The breakfast was quite ordinary, but the organization leaves something to be desired. The location far from the city center is a drawback. The shower is a bit small."
""I had a pleasant stay in this beautiful hostel. The hostel staff is very friendly and attentive. They require a £10 security deposit at check-in, to be refunded at check-out when returning the keys. The beds are extremely comfortable, as are the rooms. The toilets are clean. The hostel offers all necessary amenities and is close to supermarkets. There is even a television with PlayStation and others for watching matches and movies in the lounge area. I highly recommend it to solo travelers and those looking to spend less than three days in London."

RomaniaTiny bathroom Pretty cold in the room (maybe because the window does not close perfectly) A little bit noisy - but it is a hostel!
Close to metro station and close to a market Small bathroom but i have to say it is a hostel not a hotel There is a luggage room - 2 pounds per luggage It is a good place to crash after a long day od visiting Breakfast (not the best but not the worst) consists of fried eggs, beans, sausage and pancake, bread, milk, peanut butter -something to eat before leaving to visit the city

FranceBathrooms were always dirty, toilets filled and quite unpleasant. But I'm guessing it is more to do with the behaviour of guests than with the lack of cleaning, since the rest of the facilities were quite clean.
People were quite friendly and the breakfast made before you was quite nice. The location and value for money are just great, so I will be coming back next time I'm in London, maybe with the family.

GermanyCould be better if cleaner pillow case and duvet and less dusty in the sleeping room. The basin tap is so hard to be push for each use. Occasionally water came out super hot on the second floor. Need more hook in shower cabin.
Value for money and good location. Breakfast tea coffee included in the morning, the 2 ladies who make us eggs, and pancake , are very kind and friendly. Last time there was no electrical socket for top bed, but this time there are sockets everywhere where . So they do listen to us and this place keeps improving.

United KingdomGood location close to the tube. Breakfast pancakes are always welcome! Nice bright rooms and staff that recognise a (semi) regular face are a pleasant plus. Staying in a women only room, I'm not made to feel like an inconvenience, which is not a feature of every hostel I've stayed at!
