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...).

United KingdomForgot that Youth Hostels can be over taken by exuberant youngsters who don't realise there are other guests. No late evening staff to help implement rules.
The location was excellent once we realised there was a good bus service.

United KingdomBathroom didn't have a window and the fan was switched off for some reason (we figured how to tun it on, but didn't help much) so the water on the floor from the shower never dried up. Under the beds was really dirty (kid dropped a toy so we had to get it from there). Breakfast and check out was a bit of a disaster - we waited around 10 minutes to be checked out and paid for cooked breakfast but then it turned out there were no eggs left and the staff seemed resulctat to cook more because it was close to the breakfast finish time.
Clean beds, check-in was efficient, great price, it felt safe.

United KingdomYouth hostel prices are on par with b and b's hotels especially with no breakfast included. Prices penalise single parents. No cooking facilities. Especially when 2 of the combine ovens are being used for over 40 minutes for 1 dinner it holds everyone up. Room was cold as heating seemed to not work well. , Access to room was tricky especially at night for the bathroom for someone with fibromyalgia on very narrow spiral staircase. Access was not discussed. Considerable noise beyond midnight from room above. Could have done with more facility to hang belongings.
Room was clean, large with handy sink. Beds were comfy dining room and building is impressive and handy to join bath skyline walk and walk into bath centre. .

United KingdomSome of the guests are pretty inconsiderate, i.e. make noise, use a lot of perfume, leave a mess in the kitchen, let their kids play in the kitchen. Some of the male guests also act like they are on Tinder. I really liked the fact that the hostel was warm and dry even when there was a storm however one of the ladies in my dorm was really unhappy about it. I think she was going through the menopause and was getting hot flushes, I am about the same age she was and I am going through the menopause myself but I'm pretty much symptom free. One evening I got so wet climbing up the hill (with a stream of water rolling down the street) that my clothes and my bag had not finished drying the next morning so I think heating the place was necessary to avoid getting mould.
There is a beautiful view from the hostel and I met some very nice ladies at breakfast and ended up staying in touch with them. The hostel was dry and warm even though there was a storm when I was staying there: some of the trees around the hostel had to be pruned!

United KingdomFood service was a bit slow especially for full english breakfast. They don’t refill the foods on the tray so once consumed then you can no longer have it unless you are willing to wait.
The property and overall stay was good. Many toilets available so no need to queue. Property was clean as well and on prime location if you like walking on the skyline.

United Kingdomthe position is perhaps not great, but this is the compromise with the price. I went with two friends and we arrived late-ish, so the walk up hill was very very dark, barely any light, I think this should be something to look into. the walk down in the morning tough was very nice as you could have the view of the city in front of you.
the room, bathrooms and all of the rest was very clean. the property in general is very nice, in the lobby there are some tables, board games.
