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.).

Costa RicaThe dorm room with 10 beds got very stuffy. The AC in my room was barely working and the old ceiling fan is very loud. Also, there isn't much extra space to store bags so the room got a little crowded at times. The area under/around my bed had not been cleaned in a while (visible crumbs/dust).
The beds are comfortable, the staff are helpful, and the other guests were super friendly. I really appreciated the welcome drink and bonfire, which was a great way to start meeting people. The hostel is well-decorated and fun!

Selina La Fortuna is a proper quintessential Selina. Is a very good representative of the Selina brand. Very clean, and social. Easy to meet people and make friends. Staff was super helpful, especially with logistics, transportation and tours, Had a great time there, would definitely recommend.

Nice "upper class" hostel with very nice common areas. It's easy to meet new people. For example the welcome drink is one of these organized opportunities to meet new people.

GermanyMy 6 mix dorm was minuscule, and no curtains on the bunks. Since I had those at different Selina locations, it was expected. The ventilation of the room wasn’t great so it was smelly often time.
The hostel is very nice, with common kitchen, pool area, a co-work. Very central. Overall clean even if mosquitos tend to end their life in the bathroom sinks! The hostel organize many activities during the day, yoga, welcome drinks. The bar/restaurant is good! Pricey, but good and with a Happy hour.

United Kingdomthere was no curtain across beds even though there was a rail for them. the room was over packed with beds, it was like a game of jenga you could even use some of the bed draws because of how beds were laid out. it never really felt clean even though I’m sure it was cleaned.
there was definitely a good vibe there and people were friendly, it close enough to town. staff are friendly are really helpful! the people make this place

AustraliaThe extra activities are at an additional cost that I felt was too expensive ($15 USD for yoga for example), and the tours offered also had a considerable mark up (you can get the tours for $20USD from external operators). The 10 bed dorm too was very crowded, they should not have squeezed so many beds in there. There was no space for big backpacks (except the floor) and no where to hang damp clothes so the room smelled and couldn’t really be cleaned properly. The aircon and toilet leaked too. Not what I’d expect for a more expensive hostel.
Great location, very helpful and friendly staff and good facilities

United StatesThe rooms were very small. If you opened one cabin suitcase, there would be no place on the side of the bed. The room is meant for 2 people but felt extremely tight even for one person. Also, the place felt pricey compared to places in the area with the size of the room and no attached bathroom.
The facilities were awesome - outside sitting areas, library etc. Staff was friendly and helpful. The rooms and bathrooms were very clean.
