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 KingdomI do not mind triple bunks, but for those of you who loathe them - don't say you weren't warned! I would've also wanted to see an extra toilet per floor - one person nine people was mostly okay as everyone had vastly different schedules, but it would be been a nice backup anyway.
This is a great location, and the hostel doesn't really claim to be more than a cheap place to stay, which it is. There's nothing really special about it as far as hostels go - but it is clean, safe and not too noisy, which is all you really need! I stayed in a ladies only room, and there was a private bathroom and shower attached.

GermanyI stayed in 6 persons womens only room. The room was very small and some of the beds were really badly organized, one just next to the door and the toilet, and with no space to move. While sleeping in this bed it was no way for not to wake up when someone goes or comes, or uses the toilet. Also the shower was very bad. Some nights it was also bit noisy with the bar outside of the window but that was expected because of the location, and didn't bother me.
The location was awesome with very good public transport. The staff was super friendly and the bar downstairs very nice. Generally good stay for the money. Breakfast was simple but alright.

SwitzerlandThe mattress was really worn out and uncomfortable. Since it was a room of 8 people, the cleaning could have been done on a more regular basis, especially the in room shower. The window was right next to my head and could not be closed which led to me catching a cold after the third night there. But since there was no air-conditioning, the air in the room was quite bad all the time and closed windows would have made that even worse.
Very well accessible with the northern line, Camden Town is a cool, blossoming neighborhood with many cool coffees and restaurants, and the Camden Markets are very close. Every bed has its own locker in the room where you can lock away your valuables (with your own lock). There was a toilet and shower in the room, which is really cool for a hostel.

PortugalNo kitchen - there is a kettle and microwave in the living room but they obviously want you to pay for the breakfast in the bar.. You have to go to the bar (it's a pub) to ask for things like forks, plates, cups. They say it's because people 'steal' them but I'm sure that happens in all hostels - I reckon they just want to make it less convenient to use your own food while still being able to advertise that they have a 'kitchen'.
Travellers to meet Location is great - you just leave the hostel and you're on Camden High St.

NetherlandsDuring breakfast, all seven television screens were on, but the speakers were blasting some crappy Club House. Luckily, I had my ear plugs with me, so I didn have to listen to the same beat drone on for half an hour.
This was my third stay here, and the first time the bed had curtains, which is preferable in a privacy kind of way. Okay, one might say, if you value privacy so much, why do you book a bed in a dormitory? Valid point, but still. Also, this room had actual lockers, instead of the lockable cages underneath the beds.

NetherlandsThis was my second time staying there. Different room, different floor. This room was right above the pub, which is noisy. I can pretty much sleep through anything, but if you are a light sleeper, I can imagine it might keep you awake.
Excellent location. If Camden is where you need to be, I dare you to find a better place, as you are dead smack in the middle of Camden High Street. Continental breakfast (or, as we continentals call it, breakfast) was good.

United KingdomThe rooms appeared crowded due to the number of bunk beds and people, as the rooms aren't very spacious. However, this is economically understandable."
St Christopher's Inn in Camden boasts a central location with easy access to essential facilities. The rooms are neatly arranged, and the friendly and accommodating staff contribute to making the hostel a great place to spend the night.

PortugalNo kitchen - there's a kettle and microwave in the TV room. Showers are not too comfy - one shower in the dorm room of 12, and there's no window or place to put your clothes, so you basically have to come out damp and change in the room. Lack of kitchen is a little annoying - the hostel is above a pub and I think they want you to get your food and drinks there. But, on the other hand, you're in Camden, so there are late night takeaways everywhere and a choice of supermarkets so you can get a selection of microwave food..
24 hour access, good location. Friendly guests you can hang out with.
