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 KingdomI booked for two nights and ended up staying two weeks. It is such a beautiful space - fact it’s a converted house means it has a perfect layout for meeting people - and then the massive garden leading onto Barra da Lagoa beach (which itself is stunning & untouched) has so many different spaces for drinking, sunbathing, co-working etc. & hammocks/rollerblading ramp. It manages to be expansive and intimate all at once; where the party’s at but also where you can chill by yourself. Also incredibly clean, with shelves to organise your things. With all that, you wouldn’t need great staff - but there’s not a single person who is not genuinely kind. When I hurt my back they helped me with all kinds of things; Bia literally packed up every single one of my things and carried my bags to a different room. When another girl staying had a birthday the chef baked her a delish cake. The breakfast/dinner etc is also brill if you’re missing your home comforts/ they’re thoughtful about dietary requirements but there’s also a really well-equipped kitchen which is fun to cook in.

CanadaInternet went down one day - it wasn't hostel fault - basically half of the island was without internet.
Steps away from the beach and friendly staff. The fact that they have a restaurant inside is really helpful for remote works that don't have to search food outside the hostel. The food is really good with amazing vegetarian options.

Australia- our private room was great but there was something dripping in the bathroom that it made most of the toilet and sink floor soaking wet
- located right on the beach - option to hire surf boards - the tower restaurant was delicious loved the poke bowl and tacos - there was a bar which served drinks and breakfast which was very good too - the Hostel had a great vibe, and staff were all super lovely - great pool table and table tennis - spacious kitchen - loved the trees and greenery on the property

GermanyThat I could only stay for two nights because I was running out of time in my travel. If you can, you should stay at least one week!
This hostel really offers everything that you wish from a hostel, especially when you are traveling alone. They offer a lot of activities and know how to help the guests get connected. The beach right behind the hostel is SO beautiful 😍

United KingdomThe room felt quite humid/damp so nothing ever seemed to dry. Not easy to get up and down from the bunk beds and there wasn’t really anywhere to put your things either.
Hostel is really nice with access directly to the beach at the back. Staff are super friendly and helpful. There is a restaurant at the back which does really good food. Easy to meet other people and do activities.
