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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

United StatesLike other reviews mentioned, there is lot of noise from bars late at night. This wasn’t an issue for me but if you’re a light sleeper it could be a problem.
I had the supreme king room. It was spacious and comfortable. The common areas are great and the upper outdoor level has beautiful views of the ocean. The owners are very friendly and helpful.

FranceThe Bathrooms are a bit old. A little refreshing will be great.
Nice place If you are looking for a quiet hostel, look for something else. They is a bar in the hostel. So it can be noisy late at night. There is a beach near the hostel. The hostel is far from the center but 15min walking from the bus terminal.

CroatiaI saw a cockroach the first night in the bathroom. The floor in the room was not cleaned for a long time.
The staff is very polite and helpful. The hostal is near a big mall, less than 10 minutes walking distance. It is a great thing that the facility has a bar on the terrace above.

SwitzerlandThin walls featuring excessively loud car noises, badly sung karaoke songs from the local next to the hostel and parties close to the beach. If you can't sleep in a noisy environment, it probably won't be the most restful stay

BrazilThe hostel is located in a very vibrant and alive party of the city, so eventually the noise from outside will bother you. Much more a problem of the location than the hostel itself, however soundproof walls could help too.

BelgiumThe walls are pretty thin so you hear everything and everyone. It is located near a few clubs with loud music, so don´t forget the earplugs for a good night sleep.
The atmosphere is really relaxed. It is mostely run by volunteers which do a really good job. They have a weekly bbq. The owner took as to the airport at 5:30 am. Outside is plenty space to relax.

Amazing location just adjacent from the beach and a short walk from a well stocked mall, grocery store, hardware store etc. Nice kitchen and indoor/outdoor seating. Lounge area with big TV and sofas, and storage for bicycles/surf boards etc. Upstairs bar and terrace. Nice staff. We stayed in deluxe room and it had everything including mini fridge, kettle, bathroom, ample storage, TV and drinking water.
