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 bedroom was horrible, and the beds need some maintenance. A little WD40 and tightening of the screws would do the trick. The long-term need to remember where they live. Some act like they own the place.
The living room area was big, with lots of space to chill out.

GermanyIt was pretty dirty because of the people who stayed there. The rubbish was piling up and no one cleaned their dishes in the sink. One lady did her laundry in the shower for over an hour?! It smelled terrible.
The person who cleaned the place was nice.

United StatesMy sheets had stains on them, maybe blood or red wine. The shower temperature could not be controlled, it would change from hot to cold without touching anything. Also, the people in the room were not traveling, but rather working. They were much much older than me and sometimes I was intimidated.
Location was decent, only 30-40 minutes from the main attractions in London. It was in a nice residential area, and I felt safe.

PolandKitchen was a nightmare. It was so dirty and so disgusting I couldn't imagine preparing tea and not even thinking about cooking something. We were not able to go there without thinking about vomiting. Bathrooms has slightly better standard, but still it wasn't perfect however we could live with it. Kitchen was unacceptable.
The room was not so big, but in general it was clean and bed was comfortable. WiFi was working okay. Localization was great, Underground is not so far from the Hostel and it is connected with all important places in London. If you think just about a sleeping place and you know you will eat somewhere in the city and spend most of the time outside it is okay I guess.

SwitzerlandThere were some tenants who were intimidating, especially for female guests and those Tenants were long time tenants, therefore they Behave like if the hostel is their own property.
It was clean, but the rooms had a lot of beds in which I am not quite sure whether it complies with the UK Law. However, the care taker and the cleaning staff were great.

United KingdomThe building is overcrowded.
Mapesbury hostel is an unsanitary unsafe operation. Please reconsider before booking this hostel if you have any other option at all. It might be better to access homelessness relief if applicable, such as a Salvation Army refuge. Good luck to anyone who suffers enough hardship to consider this business an option. For my partner I will report my experience to the local municipality the moment I get the chance.

NigeriaThe Manager isn't responsive to messages. He has an assistant that is helpful. I couldn't change the dates despite the opportunity provided at booking. When I got there, my name was not on the expected guests list and I was taken to another property without keys to access the place. Though booked for two nights but just passed a night there.
