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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 would just add a little more utensils in the kitchen.
I can't even start to explain the great experience we had. I booked this but with no expectation of great facilities considering it's a hostel and the ones I've stayed in are worn out. This place has greatly exceeded our expectations. The staff... AMAZING, the facilities are literally new. No water marks on taps, no mould, no hairs, nothing is worn out other than the kitchen, that seems to be the oldest part of it. I am told that this has been there since 2018 but considering the years and influx of people, the staff do an amazing job to keep the place spotless. The smell and facilities are those of a good hotel, not in line with hostel. I believe that it's probably related to the public attending, it seems to be more of the outdoor type and not so much on staying long holidays, like with the other ones I've been too. There was a lady that helped us with the laundry, she was really helpful, proactive and friendly. There was another member of staff that was a cover as she's from the Liverpool branch, her name is Helen and me and my girls were amazed with her, she was sooo sweet with my daughters, hard worker (one could tell as she was working nonstop), proactive and she's a really valuable asset to any job. I have to recommend this place, hands down, but I do hope that this is still a hidden gem as otherwise it will be ruined. We had 3 nights there and the people that stopped there seemed to be just for the night, the second night we almost had the whole place for ourselves, which was an added bonus. You have a brewery behind it and a pub, the pub books astronomy/planetarium experiences, we had an amazing time. The hostel is within walking distance to Hadrian's wall, and the Sycamore gap. They're in the grounds of the Sill and there's an exhibition with part of the Sycamore tree that was cut down.

United KingdomWe had a private room. It was clean and comfortable but a little warm on the night time with no fan or air con available. The breakfast was good and the staff were very informative and helpful. There were areas to relax, play pool, a bar to have a drink or 3, and just a general nice atmosphere.

United KingdomDon't honestly think I can think of anything!!
Location, amazing! Staff really helpful, friendly, and hard working. We ate at the canteen one evening, tasty value for money food. Kitchen very clean, neat, lots of space to store food and cook with other guests. The hostel is super clean, spacious, light, and really well designed to sit comfortably in the landscape which is so present. The best hostel I have stayed in, and I've stayed in a few over the years!!!
