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.).

ChileI think the breakfast could have been a bit more substantial.
It was a delight to stay in this Palafito. Right from the initial whatsapp received from Vero asking about my arrival plans. She left everything ready for me to simply walk into my lovely room on arrival in the early evening, plus reserved me a table at Terraza 1326, an amazing restaurant 3 doors down from the Palafito which I was able to just walk to after an 8 hour bus journey to Castro. In the end my plans changed and I decided to stay an extra night and Vero was able to accomodate my changes with no issues. Sleeping with the curtains open and being woken by the sun in the morning as it shines on the Palafitos and lights up the bay was one of the highlights of my trip.

The interior of the hostel is designed very tastefully, picking up traditional elements of the Island. Furniture and facilities are pretty new and clean, the kitchen is inviting.

AustriaThe house is very pretty and everything clean! Communication was uncomplicated and the hosts helped us with every question we had. We could use the kitchen. Just down the hill from the city and therefore very peaceful.

United StatesThe climb to get to the center was a bit much. May not be suitable for everyone.
The room was very comfortable, and the view great. Only 6 rooms, so not too many other guests using the shared spaces.

ChileWe were quite disappointed about the breakfast, as one would have expected a nicer meal when the breakfast was included in the accommodation price. It was a bit of a lacking point to take into consideration as room for improvement.
The room was beautiful, well-decorated, and cozy. The fact of being by the sea with a nice view of the canal and bird watching was certainly a nice plus to the place.

United KingdomMy small simple room was upstairs, shared bathroom was downstairs near the kitchen Breakfast was really mean & not worth having Worst was that host sent messages to everyone else in the hostel to tell me to leave the money (cash)in a drawer by the entrance rather than direct with me - which was embarrassing as it sounded as if she didn’t trust me & yet trusted everyone else knowing where I was leaving the money - but became funny when different people continued to give me messages - 5 in total!One message would have done,,meeting me at the hostel would have done, contacting me direct would have been perfect! She said it was because I didn’t speak very good Spanish. Also I messaged her many times via booking.com using Google translate but never got any replies. I also seemed to be charged more than the others for staying - $65 for just me, 1 person, downstairs bathroom, otherwise $50 -$55 for 2 people
Super comfortable bed Nice open place with tables, sofas & nice outside decking - tho doesn’t get evening sun
