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 KingdomThe lift is slightly ridiculous. I'd pressed the down button got in the lift and it took me to the top floor, no one there, went down and stopped at each floor, no one there. Needs tweaking.
Comfortable, safe, nice touch with the air-conditioning. Really nice to have a hostel that offers some privacy.

GermanyA little bit of storage room would be wonderful, there is no extra locker for the bags or suitcases, during the day these can be stored in the capsule, but you should be prepared to either sleep with your luggage in bed or leave it out. There are hooks for bags. Otherwise there was a lot of under construction. It would be helpful to mark the halls how to get where, as the elevators were very slow, but you could easily get lost in staircases which were mostly still under construction.
The location is perfect for a short trip to London. The concept of the capsule hotel is also brilliant, the beds offer a lot more privacy than a typical dorm.

GermanyThere is a construction site that runs all day from 8 am… not ideal if you want to sleep a bit more. Some showers are very uncomfortable directing water in another diré , water doesn’t last and other showers are quite good. Toilets don’t have a brush so is common to find all toilets at the end of the day in unpleasant conditions. Also, around the capsules there is no room for big luggage
You get everything you need and the privacy you get with the capsules is remarkable

United KingdomThe duration of the shower being on felt short, which made showering feel pressured and awkward.
Very easy to access and peaceful, it made travelling around London feel simple but also felt relaxing to come back to.

United KingdomThe place still isn't finished. Uneven floors, scaffolding inside and out. My pod couldn't be locked from the outside despite bringing my own padlock. There were no lockers and no communal space - so you could only sleep/shower there. The signage inside isn't very well designed. Showers give you 10 seconds of water for each press of the button (I counted, bit tedious). Quite a long walk to the toilet in the night from your pod.
The location is excellent and I had a great night's sleep in the pod. The warmth, dimmable lighting, mattress and duvet all made for a good sleep. The pod felt clean and well ventilated and could easily be locked from the inside - which felt fairly secure. There were loads of toilets, sinks and showers. Staff were friendly and helpful. Price was unbeatable for central London.

United KingdomMinor niggles. Noisy extractor fan in capsule means earplugs are necessary, the fan provides ventilation, so while it is possible to turn it off I would not recommend it. The stairs to the upper capsules are narrow and awkward. Bizarrely there was no cold water available in the bathroom.
Location and easy check-in and well organised.

GermanyThe bathrooms were super nasty, honestly. Like, hair stuck everywhere, toilet paper on the floor... and the soap wasn't refilled on the last day I was there. Both times I showered I was so grossed out by the shower stall. I took plastic bags for my things so they wouldn't get wet and that worked but the second time I showered the shower would only stay on for literally two seconds after pressing it. There's also no temperature regulation. The pods got quite warm over night and while the fan worked, it gave me a cold immediately 😔 the line for checkout was very long but I think this was a user error with the other people not getting the tablets.
The pod itself was quite cozy and comfortable and I liked the size of the towel! The staff at the tiny reception was very nice even when it was quite busy! Everyone was quite mindful to be quiet and respectful!

United KingdomPrice and location.
My capsule was clean but the locks didn’t work. I was very comfortable. A good price for the heart of central London. Not everyone enjoyed the cosy aspect of the pods but they were perfect for my purpose. I enjoyed my time. I wish the locks were secure. That’s the only negative. There was a man in our showers and toilets but I was told the dorms were gender segregated for safety. I don’t know how he managed to get in.

TurkeyI couldn’t take a proper shower because the water automatically shut off after 3 seconds. They prefer this system for saving water, but it makes it hard to wash quickly and get out of the shower. Also, the mirrors are placed too high, so shorter people can’t see themselves comfortably. And there’s no hairdryer available at the facility.. definitely a minus
The central location was excellent in terms of price-performance balance. It felt clean and reliable. The staff were friendly and tried to be helpful

If you want a cheap place to crash for a night in the most central of locations, then you can't do too much better. Capsules are big enough to sit up in and comfy. Soundproofing is better than you'd expect, especially compared to a usual hostel dorm.
