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.).

Great location and great facility. Spacious common area and very helpful staff. Free coffee, tea and water for the guests. Close to the central market where you can get a huge plate of food for under $4.

United KingdomThe top floor had a pool table but after 7pm you couldn't use it as people were sleeping on that floor , maybe put the table somewhere else if possible.
Really good hostel, meet other amazing travellers and the facilities are very good. The toilet/shower are clean and the place itself was regularly cleaned. They also provide advice and help if you're looking to do activities and they also have deals of their own. The wifi was never an issue.

The room itself was good (bathroom located inside each dorm) and the beds have curtains and individual powerpoints next to the bed.

DenmarkThe only minor thing was that the rooms are not soundproof- at least not the one we stayed in, you can hear the conversations from kitchen and reception.
The location is great. What we liked the most, was that the hostel had thought about everything- there was a full equipped kitchen, free tea/coffee, good information about activities in the area and even caps for the hot springs that you could borrow for free.

PanamaThe staff guy was quite helpful about the tours. On the other side, the staff girl was not that helpful (she send me outside to look for tours). The difference was noticeable in the shift.
If you stay in this hostel, they will help you with the tours around baños, this was the best for me.

Netherlands-Around 23:00 the lights are turned off in the common space, even if you’re still sitting there. Of course I understand quiet hours, but sitting there silently with a little light should be possible from my point of view -Nothing to blame the hostel for but a more general remark: There was no social vibe
Price/quality wise = 10+! -8 bed dorm was not spacious, but if everyone makes a little effort keeping stuff together it’s doable -(small) lockers for valuables -Comfortable bed with a curtain, light + socket close to the bed -Ensuite bathroom in the dorm with toilet & good+warm shower -Another toilet downstairs in the hostel too -WiFi worked well (in the dorm as well) -Just a few steps from the Bus terminal -Main square, shops and restaurants very closeby and it felt safe to walk around there alone at night -Helpful staff and they can arrange tours and activities for good prices -Free coffee, tea and drinking water
