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.).

CanadaThe bathrooms were not clean, perhaps they clean them after people have to check out but by the time we were allowed to check in they were not clean and remained that way until we had to check out. They would also benefit from having a couple toasters for breakfast. It's a popular hostel and there was one waffle maker that people were using to toast their bread.
Good location and price. The room was clean. Great staff. Breakfast was ok.

SpainHot showers definitely.
Everything was just fine. According to the price it was very good quality. Those who expect a five star hotel, it's not your place. For the ones who only want a bed to sleep and a shower, it's more than fine. A little bad thing was that when I was there, the water of showers, no matter what you use cold or hot, were hot, too hot I would say. I think it was a failure or something.

SpainThe rooms could have a little more space and the chance to have a key/card for putting away your things and some shelves or a small bedside table to be able to leave your things near the bed. The shared toilets and showers are spacious but they need better cleaning and the showers could also have something similar to a shelf for leaving your things that you can't hang up and don't want to leave on the floor.
I enjoyed the swimming pool in the mornings and the variety of food available for breakfast. The staff was nice and the place has a lot to offer even though there are many things that could be improved to make the stay a lot more pleasant.

PortugalSome of the other guests treated the hostel like it was their own home and not as a place to be shared with others, so parents allowed their kids to run wild, misbehave and go about their lives without supervision. Other guests didn't clean up after themselves, so the bathroom and the kitchen were no man's land.
Facilities were clean, bright, well-equipped. Staff was polite.

PortugalThe rooms were very hot. There is a large quantity of guests and the bathrooms need to be cleaned more frequently to make up for this.
Breakfast was great - there was cereal, yoghurt, bread, cheese and ham We came for a festival and it was perfect for this. Great to hang by the pool during the day and meeting new people. Price was also reasonable.

GermanyIt doesn’t have a classic hostel vibe, because it’s very big. But for a short stay, totally fine. The kitchen isn’t that clean and it’s a 20-25min walk to the city center
The dorm was okay. Beds were good and everything in the room was clean. The house is very big and it has a big living room. Breakfast was okay too :)
