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.).

GermanyI got lucky to be alone in 4 bed room as the hostel was not that full. I could imagine when it’s too full it would be too tight with the bags and everything, as the room is not that big.
It’s clean, and the staff are nice, bed is wide and comfortable. Breakfast is real, with cheese, ham and one egg (Not only toast and jam like in many others breakfast-included-hostels )

United KingdomIt was quite pricey for what it was, small room for 3 people and it was disheartening that they charge 10% to pay by card for our stay (it would have been a lot to be carrying cash to pay for this), most expensive charge in South America. We were also nearly overcharged. We were looking forward to the pool especially in the heat of the desert but it was way too cold to fully swim in.
It was a comfortable and clean room. As you were a 5 minute walk from the main square it was quite at night. The breakfast in the morning was good. Able to cook in the kitchen ( there is a supermarket as you enter the makn street and further down there is a fruit & veg market - both not informed of when asked). The rooftop was great to chill.

GermanyIt's getting cold at night, there is no heating. Depending on the room, the bathrooms are far away, so you'lm have to go out in the cold at night.
The hostel is good, a lot of open space, I loved the sun terrace. Great kitchen, good breakfast, good shower... But the water needs some time to warm up again, after somebody else showered. Beds are warm and comfy, staff very helpful and I'd totally recommend to use the bike/car rental option of the hostel to explore the area!!

CanadaIn the de description of the hostal, it is mention that they are also a tourism information and that they can provid maps and information about tours. I reserve this hostal because of that but when I arrive they inform me that they dont do that. Also they charge 5% more if you pay by foreign credit card. That is something they should specified at the time of the reservation. The door bell in middle of the night.
I like the staff, the location and the place is secure. The size of the room was good.

ItalyThe room was too small for 4 people, and there were no windows!! Only one but it overlooked an internal corridor so there was no air circulation AT ALL. No sockets next to bed, no hanger for clothes and overall too little room to keep bags and personal belongings of 4 people. Packed breakfast was a joke, literally one bag of crackers and a juice
The bed was comfy and the place was generally clean (except for the swimming pool which didn't look very clean)

United KingdomThe toilet is a bit far away from the room we stayed in which was slightly annoying when needing to go in the middle of the night but not a big deal. It's worth knowing that although it's covered it's still sort of an outdoor area you need to cross to get to the toilet, so can be a cold walk. Didn't bother us though. Our room had about 5 lights but only 2 bulbs were working.
Rooms were clean, beds were comfortable. Staff were really friendly - they didn't speak English, but used Google translate or slow Spanish and miming to communicate effectively. Breakfast was nice, included scrambled eggs. The kitchen area was really good, well stocked and clean. There is a small swimming pool with deck chair area that was nice to sit at. There is a shared bathroom (which has shower and toilet) which is good, and there are also two other shower cubicles and another toilet. All clean. Decent WiFi.
