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.).

Canadathe staff here has been extremely helpful! I broke my fibula just above the ankle and they have gone above and beyond for me - they changed rooms so I had less stairs to deal with, brought my bags to my new room, helped me get to the right medical facility, helped me get around, brought me my food delivery and are always asking if I need any help

ChileIt was a bit light in the women's room. Maybe darker curtains would be good. And some stairs to the high bed.
I loved this place. The volunteers make it very special. In the evening the hostel jammed together, real hostel experience. Maybe not ideal for people who want a more silent place, but great to connect and meet new people.

GermanyI had a very nice time in the Wild Monkey Hostel. The beds are very comfortable and it’s a nice atmosphere. Everything is clean and you can wash 1 Kg of cloth for free. They have a fireplace where we did a fire on some evenings. The people working in the Hostel are very nice. I can recommend this hostel to everyone:))

CanadaIt's a great hostel. The volunteers and staff are absolutely lovely and will go above and beyond to help you out (shout out Sam!) and the location is perfect in Cuenca. If you're looking for a budget option I highly recommend Wild Monkeys. It's not luxury but it's nice given the price.

(not the hostel‘s fault but still annoying) > dirty bathrooms and mirrors > shelves in the bathroom are missing > kind of smelly in the rooms too… > could be cleaner (kitchen, bathrooms,…)
> the location of the hostel is great - good sunset spot right across the street and the river is just down the stairs (good for chilling, walking and runs) > free laundry service!! > free towels > nicely equipped kitchen (spices) > social space is only outside but nice

United StatesKeep in mind that the hostel is simple. I don't think it's an issue, but I want to manage your expectations. You'll see, you'll love it anyway
The staff and people in this hostel are absolutely lovely! They always have a smile and take care of you. It almost doesn't feel you're in a hostel, rather in the house of somebody you know

United KingdomThis was a lovely little guest house, a bit out of town but very easy to access by bus or taxi (20 min bus for $1 or a taxi). If youre only here for a few days, visit the tortoise sactuary on the way from the airport. The family were very welcoming, and I had a lovely room to myself. I didn't get the opportunity to try but they also do home cooked meals here too. Just an FYI, bring ear plugs as there's a few roosters who haven't made it to Sunday lunch yet...
