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.).

I like that it is very close to the train station and that the toilets were relatively clean

United KingdomBlocked toilets, a maintenance guy going round opening doors and propositioning my daughter, the cold the heating broke. My daughter described it as a bail house. It's like the Fawty Towers of hostels, you have been warned. Drunk people, cannabis smell in the corridors, skid mark on toilet floor, doors slamming.
Making friends and going to the shop with a guys from Pennyvania and one from Melbourne, cheapest place I could find in the time scale, noisy through the night.

United KingdomThe shower was in the middle of the room, not even separate. Whenever someone took a hot shower the entire room steamed up. Not too mention the lack of privacy caused by this. The toilets were yuck aswell. The lock of the room was broken. And the lounge and tv room were functional but not comfortable.
Not much honestly. The beds seemed clean atleast.

United KingdomThe shower is in the same room where you sleep. Thus it is not nice hearing someone having a shower whilst you are trying to sleep. Also, from my room the toilet were in the other wing. Lastly, the bed fit a person of max 1.85cm.
The facility were clean. The staff willing to help. Very close to the overground station.

United KingdomToilet inside the room instead of at end of corridor would have improved things
Location is perfect, Londons famous and beautiful cemetry directly behind the property, and literally 20 second walk to the Underground station (almost opposite entrance!). Bus 18 from just outside takes you into central London (Euston, a stones throw from Kings Cross/St Pancras) For anyone looking for a longer stay (get a job etc) the owner has a second hostel for long-stay workers not too far from this one.

United KingdomPlug sockets too far away, could have done with some chairs in the room, no toilet in the room so had to go downstairs quite often.
Location was the strongest part, the tube station literally across the road. Peaceful and quiet, got good sleep, staff were able to accomodate me which was good. Also the shower worked well.

United KingdomThe shared toilets were constantly blocked and the wifi didn't work.
Room was clean and comfortable, basic cooking facilities are available (hob and kettle, no fridges or microwaves). Staff were very friendly and helpful. It's exactly what you'd expect for the price in London.
