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.).

TurkeyMy bunk bed was not really comfortable. It was old or broken, needed a change.
Location was perfect, very close to subway but you could also walk to some of touristic attractions,which was an advantage. Staff was very friendly. Room was good but I would prefer to have curtains with my bunk bed.

GermanyJust a couple of suggestions: Lockers that can fit a backpack and that don't require an own lock would be helpful. Curtains on the beds would be great for privacy. Bathroom doors were very loud to open and close.
Wonderful staff. I loved the cafe and the 24 hour reception and all round service. Bed was comfortable. I was in the all female dorm and the atmosphere was very relaxed, respectful and comfortable. Location is fantastic for an early Eurostar. It was great, that there was hand soap in the bathrooms.

United KingdomI often travel through London and have to stay the night before I can get the next train, so I've tried many hostels close to King's Cross/St Pancras. This really is the best hostel I've stayed at. Other hostels tend to give you the bare minimum, and I really like that Kabannas is making things more comfortable. • The rooms are relatively spacious (for a hostel), with quite a big window and plenty of storage space. There is no awkward "we tried to squeeze in as many bunk beds as possible into one tiny room" that you often see at other hostels. • The beds had their own outlets and a small light, so you're not being kept awake by the big light when other people are still up. • There were also signs in the hallways that there was a quiet time after 11 pm, and it was actually quiet after 11 pm, which I really appreciate. • There are common areas both downstairs and on the first floor, where you can eat your food and do other stuff, and I believe you can also buy drinks there. • In general, Kabannas had a really good atmosphere, there were lots of beautiful murals and overall everything looked nice, modern and clean. • The staff was friendly and helpful, too. • A big pro is also that it's only five minutes from the train station. This is definitely the hostel I'll stay at in the future when I'll be in London again.

United KingdomI really wish bunks had curtains on the beds for privacy more often, but this is something that is more a wish than a not liking.
The staff was able to accommodate me finding me a bottom bunk. Check-in was fast and easy, and they have a a nice lounging area. The room was clean and while there was eight beds, there was space and the bathroom was clean as well.

IsraelIf you opt for a room facing the main road, be prepared for constant noise throughout the day and night. Despite the double glazing to mitigate the noise, keeping the windows closed may result in poor ventilation, especially if the room is fully occupied. Additionally, there is a lack of self-catering facilities.
The location boasts excellent cleanliness and well-maintained facilities, complemented by a friendly staff.

GermanyIt was probably just bad luck, but the room intensely smelt of sweat throughout my entire stay – since the window couldn't be opened properly for safety reasons, it was impossible to get rid of the smell.
The café downstairs was fabulous; you could also stay there after checking out if you needed to. also, there's a drinking water dispenser down there.

United KingdomThere were no croissants at the breakfast buffet. When I mentioned this to the staff member in the morning at the check-in desk (a different staff member to the accommodating ones to the night before who checked me in) he said, “Sometimes we run out, and when we do that’s it.” There were croissants available at the cafe-bar area, but he refused to give me one saying, “You can either eat at the buffet or the bar, not both.” I thought this was harsh over one croissant, even though this was promised to me at the breakfast buffet in the morning.
Upon arrival, the convenience of Kabannas’ location immediately struck me. Nestled right across fromSt Pancras International station, it was a breeze to get there after my train journey. The hostel’s exterior was unassuming, but stepping inside, I was greeted by a warm, quiet atmosphere that promised a comfortable stay. The check-in process was smooth, with friendly staff who were quick to provide information about the hostel’s amenities. The staff member did all he could to make my stay as comfortable as possible, even allowing me to pick a top or bottom bunk preference. My room was clean. The bed was comfortable enough, and I had a good night’s sleep. The shower facilities were maintained to a high standard, a refreshing way to start the day. While the lack of a self-catering kitchen was noted, the cafe-bar on the premises offered a variety of meals and snacks that were both convenient and tasty. The pizza I ordered was cooked in a stone oven and tasted incredible. The breakfast the following morning was tasty.
