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.).

NorwayWe ate dinner in the restaurant the first night, and the food was really disappointing compared to what we paid. Maybe we were unlucky, I don’t know. The location is in the end of the main road but if you enjoy walking (15-20min to town) I would recommend this place! And the noise from the main road isn’t noticeable in the bedroom.
For what we paid, a perfect stay! Comfortable rooms, great pool and really friendly people working here. An okay breakfast as well!

United StatesThe only negative thing I can say is that they could be making better use of some of the common spaces on the property. They have this awesome lounge area that isn’t comfortable to hang out at because the cushions are full of tree droppings and there’s no shade. A lot of potential there. The hammocks they have are great but only located by the dining area. Where soft music is played all day. With a little work they would have some awesome hangout spots. For now they are slightly below average. Except at the pool. Pool area is awesome. And everything else was awesome.
Awesome owner and staff. Fantastic breakfast. Clean and wonderful feeling pool. Dorm was cleaned every day! Ended up staying a week and eating most of my meals here because the food was so good and the vibe so relaxing.

IrelandWe loved staying here. It is on the main road but it is still peaceful and relaxing. It is more like a hotel than a hostal. The room was big and comfortable. There were hangers and space to hang your clothes. The food in the restaurant was amazing and the staff were so nice. The owner was very kind and did everything she could to make our stay more enjoyable.

CanadaThe hostel is a little far out (but we generally didn't mind to get the walk in) There was a bit of noise from traffic in the common areas but it really didn't bother us much.
We had a lovely stay here! The pool was wonderful and we spent a lot of time lounging on the chairs and hammocks. The room was exceptionally clean and we were so grateful to have AC! Breakfast was delish every morning and the staff were kind. The food at the restaurant was really good and affordable. Overall great value for money.

IrelandIt’s a very relaxed place, boutique hotel vibes more than a hostel so you’ll probably need to go to the Main Street to meet other travellers. The price and quality is so worth it though!
Really friendly staff, nice big rooms cleaned daily and with a private patio area to relax on. The pool was refreshing and restaurant was great and very reasonably priced. And the free breakfast was delicious with a different dish every day! Honestly the best place we’ve stayed in our 4 months travelling, wish we were here longer it feels like home!

IrelandA little bit outside the town but we didn't mind the walk and peacefulness.
Outstanding hostel. We were very happy with our stay and extended in addition to what we planned. Very friendly staff who were extremely helpful and friendly. Great breakfast which is different each day. Spotlessly clean rooms which were very comfortable. We spent most of our time in the hostel only to venture out a couple times a day. It has everything you would need and also a fantastic restaurant for lunch and dinner. Thanks to them for our staff.

United StatesThe travel down to the beach gets a bit long after the first few days of going back and forth in the heat. I'd recommend walking to the first turn then getting a moto taxi, they're very affordable.
The pool, food, and relaxed ambiance were great. Claudia is a gem. And so is the rest of the staff including Max! Christmas dinner was gourmet and all the meals were excellent. Be sure to order food!

IrelandWe had the best time here and wished we could stay longer. The staff are amazing and go above and beyond for their guests. They let us check in early which was great after travelling. The breakfast is delicious and different every morning. The rooms are spotless and so comfortable with loads of space. You really feel like you can relax here, there is also your own little patio outside your room which we loved. The pool and communal areas are stunning and super clean. We also ate at the restaurant and would definitely recommend. They have a really cute dog too. We hope we can visit again!

United KingdomWe loved everything, the only (tiny) things we would change would be shade over the pool as the water gets very warm, and the use of warm water in the shower (they do have the option for this in some of their rooms but you have to pay an additional charge), still a 10/10 hostel!
This hostel really was as good as all the other reviews said it would be! Hostel looks more like a hotel and has the service to match. The food at their restaurant was really good, the free breakfast changes everyday and was always delicious. The staff are very friendly and attentive and always happy to help. The rooms are nice and pool area was lovely. We extended our stay and would definitely stay again in future.

IrelandWhen we paid our bill at the end, which included all of our restaurant bills they had added their own tip after we signed each bill. We would have happily added a tip but just that it was added without asking was a little unusual.
We had a lovely stay here, rooms were clean and comfortable with a private bathroom and private outdoor patio/seating area. The pool was clean and great to have to cool down, as well as other covered outdoor seating areas and a pool table for evenings. The free breakfast was amazing and varied each day. The other restaurant food was alas amazing and would highly recommend eating here! All of the staff were super friendly and helpful.

BelgiumWe booked for 3 nights and ended up extending our stay another 3 nights because we loved it so much. This place is great if you just want to relax. There's a lovely outdoor area with hammocks and places to sit, and a great pool area. The breakfast is delicious and something different every day. The personnel was also very helpful and kind. If you are a solo traveller looking to socialize, it's not the best fit, but for us, a couple looking to relax after some busy weeks, it was perfect, away from the louder commotion in the center. It's a couple of minutes walk to the center in case you mind that.

United StatesThe bed was a bit hard.
This is a tranquil gem in Palomino. It is about a ten minute walk up the road from the main drag of all the restaurants and shops leading down to the beach but it is nice that the place is away from the parties when you want to relax. The pool and terrace are nice. The room was clean and spacious with a little terrace right off the room. The wifi was good and consistent. I liked the breakfast and it was a different option each day. The staff were all really kind and eager to help and make your stay the best experience.

Our room was spacious, clean (cleaned daily), and the outside areas were gorgeous. Even though you’re on the main road you don’t feel it when you’re sitting around the lovely pool, surrounded by nature. The restaurant is so gorgeous - and the food is outstanding. The best food we’ve had in Colombia for sure. Absolutely loved our whole experience - Thankyou Claudia and team.

Slovakia- Breakfast was okay (7.5/10), but I am not a fan of fried stuff in the morning (but that is a personal preference) - The hostel was a bit far from the Carrera 6, so a bit of walking is needed to get to the centre (but it was calm in the evening for that very reason) - wifi wasn't very stable
- Even with the location by the main road, the rooms were very quiet - We didn't need to use the AC, the ceiling fan was sufficient to keep the temperature within reasonable range for sleeping - Great value for money
