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 KingdomWe were a bit concerned when we arrived as the address takes you to a derelict building, but the hostel itself was tucked just behind this. It is important to note that the hostel is home to many local farm workers who while just minding their own business do take away from the hostel feel. It does somewhat feel like you are intruding on their housing as they also use the shared kitchen and living room space. I find it strange that this is not mentioned anywhere, as we would’ve liked to have known. However, the hostel is great value for money and did provide everything we were looking for.
The hostel is just outside of mission beach town, (you would need to drive there) but is a stones through away from a beautiful beach. The host was lovely, he was very welcoming and informative about facilities (fantastic pool) and the local area. The room itself was everything you’d want for what you are paying, clean, cosy and nice bathroom.

AustraliaTruthful reports on this property would be better. After hearing the whistling later in the night I understand why this is an Adults only property.
Paid for private kitchen. Was advised after 1 day that the kitchen outside our hut/room was for everyone. Just loved the smell of curries in my unit/room? Paid extra for a private kitchen and received nothing resembling such. Not even a private fridge big or little. This is at the lowest end of hostel and should not be allowed on the bookings site as accommodation stayed 2 days, paid for a week. DISGUSTING. private email to Bookings .com has been sent!

AustraliaEverything about the room and place. The room and beddings were Stinky and smelly, like not washed and changed.
Nothing to like about the place. Very unwelcoming place - doesn't look like an Aussie holiday place The beddings look like they had bed bugs and very dirty. Wouldn't recommend this place.

United KingdomThe pictures online were not what the place looked like at all. There was permanent residents living there who made us feel extremely uncomfortable when we left our room. We felt unwelcome to use any of the facilities. The bedding was miss matched and looked like it had bed bugs. Black mold in the bathroom. And nowhere near any shops or restaurants. Although low price would not recommend at all!

United KingdomOne worker made us feel really uncomfortable there, would not recommend to any female travellers to go here, especially if you’re going solo Would also add that if you’re a backpacker, it’s probably not the best choice to come here as it’s a workers hostel so a lot of farmers in the property, who tend to keep to themselves meaning you’re very isolated and don’t get to meet that many people. Cooking facilities were not clean at all.

United KingdomWe let them know we were checking in at 7pm, when we arrived, no one was there to check us in. There was a phone number but it wouldn’t connect through We spoke to various people who also tried to phone and didn’t work. Luckily someone noticed there was an empty room and a key so we just slept in there. The guy on site the next morning said he was out for dinner.. it is advertised as a hostel but there are just workers living there. There are signs for bus shuttles but the owner said it was old. It was over a hour to walk to the beach and no public transport
Fairly clean room. Owner was okay and apologetic about the situation

AustraliaThough close to the beach, the closest restaurant and/or shop is roughly 25mins walk. If you’d like to visit the main mission beach area then you can get a taxi for around $20 which is under 10 mins. Recommend a car here.
Scotty was so helpful and accommodating - he was able to help with dinner suggestions, transport and where the closest supermarket was and made sure we had everything we needed. Amenities were great and we had a kettle, toaster, fridge, microwave and cutlery/plates. The bedroom was very tidy and clean, as was the bathroom. Scottys was right by the beautiful beach. Great value for money!
