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 KingdomThe bed sheets were a little too small for the beds, meaning they pinged off in the night. Could have done with a box grater as only a Parmesan one could be found.
The over all feel was great. Beautifully decorated with interesting artworks and theatrical props displays. Free silent disco headphones were brill. Lots of wood, felt like a ski lodge. Very comfy sofas in the snug. Kitchen great. Loved the free fridge and breakfast bits. Mezzanine family room was delightful and kids loved having their own section. Better than a hotel.

United KingdomIf you are arriving by train with luggage, there is a very steep hill to walk up in order to get to the hostel.
Fantastic hostel. Well equipped kitchen, v clean rooms, wonderful staff, lovely “snug” room to sit in and chat, large dining room/lounge. Excellent value for money.

AustraliaI've stayed in quite a number of hostels and I'm not a fan of the toilet and shower being in the room like the room I stayed in. Good for me as a single person, but be aware of this if using as a hostel in peak time. Personal preference. Received a long email that was exhaustive about all the facilities, but it would be nice if the first thing it said was the room I was in, instead of having to deduce where to go. If you are staying in as a hostel then I'm sure the long email will be useful.
I booked a room for myself for one night in down season so I could meet ex colleagues that night. I can very much appreciate that this would be a good hostel. It seems well put together. Clean and organised. Good location in town but quiet, and has carparking. Not common in Hebden Bridge.

United KingdomThis was our second stay at the hostel. Overall easy and comfortable experience,however it lack a bit of atmosphere with it not being staffed all the time and people keeping themselves to themselves and no music playing. Some of the bedding’s did not match the mattress size and duvet. Some very late comers were also noisy and the doors between dorms were open (up and downstairs). Location is brilliant,kitchen well equipped and with free breakfast items. I guess the option of a cooked breakfast would be a nice addition to ass that extra atmosphere. Overall we had a good time.

United KingdomThe rooms have a mezzanine which is a delight for children. It allows them to feel that this is their own area. Accessed by a pine ladder it creates a fort! Also there is a very calm, very friendly dog who likes meeting people. As it's at the back of an historic building, it has a characterful approach. For those who require it, there's a bus stop outside the gate which affords easy access to other walking areas. ( Within Hebden Bridge itself, the public transport system is excellent...train and bus). The fact that, although it's a vegetarian hostel, it welcomes others but obviously you stick to the ethos (eating out, easily done where necessary. Not a problem for most people particularly with breakfast items. ) The silent disco is a charming idea.
