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.).

LebanonThe staff was not friendly. Early check in was revised although it was clear there were dorm beds available.
The location is amazing but the place is not well managed. No towels, no padlocks and the bathrooms got clogged all the time. The staff can try to smile at least a little bit :)

Fantastic location, right near the beach. You can see from window while eating or chilling on the sofa inside. Lots of delicious street food in front. about 5 minute walk to nearby lighthouse for sunset, not to be missed. Safer location than city center. Had no problems walking around at night. Wifi worked well. Small, but well stocked kitchen. Would definitely come back here next time in Salvador.:D

NetherlandsI thought the attitudes from the volunteers were quite odd. They did not make any effort at all to make you feel welcome or create a nice social atmosphere. It really feels like they are just there for a free accommodation and just do the bare minimum. It happened a few times where I asked them a question or needed something and I felt like an annoyance.
The location is amazing! You can see and hear the ocean from all the spaces. The kitchen is great and I loved the common area downstairs, it feels very lovely. There is a lovely lady who is cleaning the place constantly so it's always super clean and organised! Barra is a great and safe neighbourhood to stay in.

BrazilThe showers are not comfortable. There is nowhere to put clothes, and it's time to renovate them. The owner says the issue is being addressed.
This is the perfect location you could ask for. Also a minute's walk from the lighthouse. And also the first house on the seaside promenade. From the windows you can see, hear and feel the sea, which is simply perfect. The staff is kind and friendly, there is no breakfast, but there is a time when coffee is served.

Wonderful hostel. Best I have stayed at in Brazil. Honestly, I wish I wasn't leaving. It is right next to the beach, restaurants and a lighthouse with a wonderful view of the sunset. You can see the water from the dormitory and lounge area. Wifi is fast, people are super nice, rooms are comfortable, food amazing (moqueca, acaraje, etc). Will definitely come back on my visit to Salvador :D :D

United KingdomMattresses were little thin and the kitchen could be better equipped. Are kettles not a thing? Or toasters? Haven't seen one anywhere I've visited yet.
Great location sitting on the beach near tons of places to eat/drink and a great language school (Brazil Link).
