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.).

AustraliaNo movies to watch on that big fantastic TV when your chilling in your room late at night. Not a complaint, just a suggestion. I loved everything about this place.
The location is just perfect, the beach is super close, the shops and restaurants are at your door. Parking is cheap and undercover in a secure car park, elevator access to reception and your room. I received a free upgrade to a king room with private bathroom, it was just so cute, clean and had everything needed. Did I mention CLEAN💯 For a hostel/hotel I was so impressed. I loved it and I will definitely stay there again. Has a huge TV to. This place would be just perfect for a group of friends, or for 2 or 4 couples to stay in the share rooms. It’s such a cute, cosy, clean and awesome location. PET FRIENDLY ❤️❤️❤️

FranceThe price was really expensive. And the hostel is not really social. The kitchen is too small and there are only 3 hotplates. So you can’t cook at normal hours or you have to wait a really long time.
The hostel was real cosy and well decorated. It felt like home and it was a relief after having been in dirty and poor hostels. The location is perfect, 5min from the beach, 1min from the piano bar etc… Always clean, that was really appreciated . The room of 6 people was big enough, there was also a balcony and a small fridge.

United KingdomHonestly, it was probably the best hostel I've ever stayed at. Nothing bad at all.
The location was perfect - 5 mins from coach stop and in the centre of just about everything. The reception was open and friendly and the staff were exceptional. The kitchens and bathrooms were kept really clean and even had shampoo. Conditioner, body wash, hand wash and lotion in the bathroom. The beds were really comfy and the bedrooms really clean. The addition activities - yoga, boxing, movie night were all fabulous. 10/10- would highly recommend!

AustraliaNot too sound proof as you can hear people coming. It was a Friday night so expectedly people were coming from parties. It has a backpacker vibe but generally still very nice and pleasant.
Excellent staff, went above and beyond to show us the parking and also when we left our security cards inside our room. Location is very handy to eveything. Bed was very comfortable. Also nice touch with treats and bowls and bed for our puppy.

AustraliaThere could be some more stoves in the kitchen, sometimes you would have to wait a while until you could cook.
I liked the free BBQ and that everything was really clean. Also the showers were really spacious, as same as the bedrooms itself.

AustraliaDouble charged for the room and charged more than when booked. However lady at desk refunded money, although it shouldn’t never have happened in the first place. Bed sheets were wrinkled and had stains when we uncovered the bedding, called reception, cleaners came promptly, but questioned it??? The sheets did get changed, but again it should not of have happened.

IsraelThe experience was absolutely fantastic! The staff's hospitality was outstanding, and the decor was spot-on. The location couldn't be better, just a quick stroll to the main beach, and the added touch of shower amenities, including soaps, was much appreciated. Thank you very much, and I'm eagerly anticipating my next visit! Special thanks to Damien for his exceptional service!
