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.).

GibraltarSome confusion regarding the double room. I had asked for a twin bedded room not matrimonial. But we sorted it and were given single beds.
The location was very good within the walls of the Old Town. Very reasonable rates. Good view from roof terrace and good information of activities in the area.

United StatesI booked this accommodation for its proximity to the beach and to the ferry to Tangier. Both reasons for booking were fulfilled in addition to finding lovely areas for strolls and for a superb dining experience at El Chiringuita. I must add that the restaurant was recommended by the host at the Hostal Africa.

PortugalThe common place in the ground floor felt a bit too quiet for a hostel perhaps. However this was in line with the wellness focus of the hostel.
The terrace and the yoga classes hosted here were excellent. the staff were a delight. The hostel has beautiful décor and is right at the heart of old town tarifa.

GermanyWe had a great stay at hostal Afrika. It is located in the beautiful old town of tarifa surrounded by little shops and great restaurants/cafes. The roof top terrace is simply amazing, the view breathtaking. The interior of the Hostel is very colorful and well thought out. The owners of the Hostal are so welcoming, friendly and very helpful. Thanks for everything.

GermanyThe shared bathroom was really tiny and so was my room - but being a really affordable deal there is now way you can complain about that! ...and also being a old house in a lively town it can get a bit noisy from time to time - but loved the complimentary earplugs in the room!
Loved my 1 week stay at Hostal Africa! The location is superb, close to all the restaurants, bars and shops of beautiful Tarifa Old Town, the staff is extraordinarily friendly and attentive, the interior is cozy, the view from the roof top terrace really nice and the room and shared bathroom really clean! Can only recommend and will be back if I am making my way back to Tarifa. Thanks!!!

Woow, what a dream hostal. Its just a heaven of serenity in old town tarifa. There are 3 yoga sessions a day, the owner and especially the manager Lilla are super nice. You really feel relaxed from the moment you enter the door till its time to go. Definitely would come back here. The terras is also super nice and has space to store/dry kite gear.
