How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

It’s not too far from the Center and beach but about 20 minutes walking to take in consideration. Showers get dirty very easily. The hostel is in the nature which I liked but can have sometimes small animals or dirt.
Most social hostel you will find. This is the place to meet new people from all over the world, different activities every night, yoga every morning, good dinners for only 20 reais, cheap drinks at night and everyone going out together. The stuff are so nice and helpful.

The vibe of the hostel was awesome, super social crowd full of great people from all over the world, and staff/ volunteers were amazing. Optional activities every day were an awesome opportunity to meet people and do something different and fun. Phenomenal dinner for R$20 every night is a steal. Can't go wrong with this place! Hope to be back soon!

Some mosquitos due to the location, but nothing too bad, I got used to it!
The best hostel I saw in 4 months in Brazil. Unique signature, in the forest, close to the center, big outdoor space with many facilities (ping pong, small fitness area, yoga/meditation, swimming pool). Dorms are 4 beds maximum which is very cool. Good mix between local travellers, south Americans and Europeans. The place is made to connecting people with free activities everyday, amazing vegetarian dinner every night. This place has a unique spirit. The staff is super friendly and available, the volunteers work hard to make the place nice and living! I did not leave yet but I'm pretty sure already that I will come back ❤️❤️

Nothing - only thing I can think of is having AC in rooms but the rooms never got too hot anyway
The people & facilities of the hostel really made it! The chill areas, pool, tree house etc etc made the actual hostel so special! Activities & dinner every night really helped everyone socialise too :)

Having sockets on every bed would be nice
I absolutely love my staying there, was my second time. This is one of the best vibes that you will get, people are really friendly, lot's of activities and fun things to do together. Breakfast is good and dinner is always incredibly tasty! It's a bit far from praia do amor and city center, but I assure that you won't mind in the end :)

It wouldnt be fair to look for things that dissapointed me (:
The community that Effi and his group of volunteers built, is amazing. All warm people, and they put a lot of effort in making the best of your time. They made my three weeks in Pipa very special and I would love to come back! Also a huge plus: the vegetarian, or even vegan food made by Juan and Claudinho is terrific. Definitely a reason to come back to the hostel every night.

Some rooms are better than others. My favorite room was Brazil.
There’s a lot of common space to hang out and lounge about with other travelers. There is a small workout station next to a swimming pool (which is kept very clean). The property is like being at a campground, lots of trees providing cool shade. My favorite thing about the hostel was the staff and the ambience. It is very easy to make friends here and if you stay a while, the hostel begins to feel like a family and home. The family dinners every night are delicious. The bar is great, with cheap drinks and a bartender coming up with new cocktails every day (muito obrigado Gabi)! Every one parties together, hits the beach together, and you might even make new travel buddies.
