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 Statesa lot of spaces are uncovered, so if it is raining and need to go to the kitchen, you will get wet. staff was nice, but didn’t seem the most knowledgeable about some things, but they tried their best to help. AC/fan use only at night, so rooms get hot unless you open the windows/door (but you compromise sound and privacy)
Safe neighborhood, daily room cleanings, multiple bathrooms/showers, full kitchen, upstairs lounge area for working if necessary, water station, common workout studio (but not a “gym”), locked gate + upper level + ~20hr security

NetherlandsThe hostel doesn't have breakfast. Nevertheless a very good place called Padó is only 2 minutes away by foot.
Very good hostel with much personal attention to guarantee a high standard of quality. I've been travelling to Salvador for 10 years and this place is absolutely one of the best accommodations. Had a private room which was well priced (about 150 reaís per night), good bed & airconditioned. Daily activities are organized and the hostel has good places (inside and outside) to relax. Beach only 10 minutes away by foot. Fresh filtered water available.

SpainThere was nothing that I disliked, except for the fact that my travel plans didn't allow me to stay longer. If you MUST find something to improve... maybe the coworking space could use some fresh air once in a while, but apart from that... absolutely great! <3 Note, that there's no breakfast buffet or coffee, but this is covered by a really sweet café 200m down the road.
I was surprised of the size of the hostel, they have looooaaaaads of room and it's really beautiful there. I can also recommend their library of books, found some real treasures. Staff was absolutely great, not to speak of the guests who were exclusively awesome! Location really centered, shops, etc. all in walking distance. Especially suited for digital nomads.

The staff was really helpful, understanding, they lend you a towel for free, the rooms and bathrooms were really clean, they had extracurricular experiences, it is close to a great beach and not that far from the city centre.

New ZealandIt can get very busy but that's what helps create the atmosphere so isn't really a negative. You can still find a quiet space
The staff are amazing and really create a community atmosphere so it's really easy to meet people and organise stuff together. I came back to stay again a week later for several more nights and it felt like coming home. Everyone is so welcoming. The studio for dance / exercise/ yoga and the big outdoor spaces are also great. I'm already looking forward to going back

NetherlandsThere are so many volunteers and sometimes it felt like there were more volunteers hanging around than actual guests, at times feeling quite cliquey. When it rains there is not a lot of areas to chill.
It's a very fun and chill hostel. I stayed in the female dorm and it was nice and comfy with the private dorm. Shared kitchen is great. There's a WhatsApp group that's very active so if you're into joining activities it's a good hostel for you.
