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.).

GermanyI would be careful leaving opened food in the rooms as there are ants coming through the window and they will be all over the food.
Our stay was quite pleasant. We had a private room with one queen size bed and one small bed, both were very comfortable. They also provided towels for us. The shared bathroom was quite clean. The hostel is close to the beach and not too far from most restaurants, cafés and supermarkets in the area. It was surprisingly quiet and the pool area was also nice.

United KingdomWasn’t sociable at first, a weird mixture of people working/trying to find work who didn’t want to talk, and people travelling. Kitchen got quite gross and relied on guests cleaning plates etc so I always felt the need to re wash before I used anything. At times almost too much social space so people were spread out and that made it feel a little less social I guess.
Yoga for the extra $5 was so worth it, really enjoyed it. Massive kitchen and all utensils you’d need, lots of cupboard and fridge space too. Comfy beds, never had to wait for a shower or toilet. So much social space! And really nearby everything you need.

IrelandThere wasn’t a lot of sun beds by pool so it was generally full all day and we didn’t get to avail of the pool as much as we would have liked - of course the beach is close by so it’s not a major complaint! There is no elevator so it was a bit tricky getting large suitcases up the stairs - maybe request a ground floor room if you have big bags!
The staff were very helpful and friendly allowing us to store our luggage and giving us access to showers and pool before check in time as we arrived early in the morning. The kitchen was large enough to allow many people to cook and wash up at the same time. The room was clean and comfortable with good AC. The location is ideal - so close to the beach and the supermarkets, bars and restaurants - yet still quiet at night time.

United KingdomShowers/toilets could’ve been cleaned abit more frequently! Another microwave would’ve been nice to prevent waiting in busy times. Would’ve perhaps liked more activities on during days and evenings too? Can be hard to mix as a solo traveller so any activities that help with that are awesome! Other nearby hostels also give free drink voucher to nearby bars, which would be nice!
Yoga class was so good!! Only $5 but make sure you pre book day before as gets booked out quick! Bed was surprisingly comfy, nice showers, so much social space, and huge kitchen with all appliances you’d need! Became more social the longer I was there too! And although it was annoying some evenings being pushed out of social areas at 10pm for noise, I’d respect that as someone who enjoys an earlier night sometimes. Rooms seemed pretty sound and light proof which meant I slept super well and air con was really good (one of only Yha hostels I’ve stayed at that actually has Aircon!!)

GermanyThe beds were not comfy, as it was used so much that you got forced in the middle of the mattress. Were not the only one that said this. The kitchen was sometimes a bit to small for all the ppl. But not that of a problem. Surfboards hire is a bit expense, as we got it for free in Newcastle YHA, here it was 15$ for "half of day" which is only 4 hours?! 12÷2 is 6 not 4.
The rooms were clean, amenities were licked. I loved the pool, it was great, but not nice that it was closed in the morning hours for some divers. Kitchen was good and clean. Workers really cared about it
