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.).

United StatesThe location is it bit of a far walk for someone to get to town but it was no problem for me having a car.
Beautiful view of the bay and the city, staff was very nice and accommodating even with a bit of language barrier. I felt like family, and the dinners were amazing.

AustraliaIt’s a steep walk up the hill, but that’s how you get the view and I hitched a ride half way up. The tent flapped a bit in the wind but hey that’s what tents do and by night 3 I didn’t notice it.😂 Booked for 1 night stayed 3 that’s how good it is😉
This place is great. Amazing view, good food, helpful staff and not too fancy so it’s good value for money. It’s still a hostel so you have shared rooms or in our case a shared tent and shared bathrooms, basic but clean. But it has a great vibe resulting in people connecting, chatting and getting to know each other. Do yourself a favour, take the dinner option and join a table, you’ll be glad you did.

PortugalIt was far from the city center and there was no transport. When we booked the place it said dinner was included in the fee, but this was not true, and we were charged extra 12€ for dinner, without previous warning.
The sense of community inside the Albergue. The beautiful view from the terrace, and the simpathy from the staff.

SpainNothing I can think of !
I came by boat to Calvi and they kindly picked me up at the port. Stayed two nights but wished I had stayed longer. Best dinners and breakfasts I have had in a while (amazing cook!!). And the spirit of the volunteers in the hostel makes you feel like home (or even better). They even helped me to make it to my 8am flight on a Sunday morning even though there were no taxis. 100% recommended!! I will be back soon!

FranceThere is a good distance from the beach and centre but the walk is worth the night life and stunning beach.with a bit of a uphill walk to return to the hostel
The staff are amazing, so splendidly kind and willing to joke around. Whenever I needed help or had a question the staff were happy to help or try their best to get me an answer. Along with that the meals are amazing and the ambiance spectacular. Meals are eaten family style providing the perfect opportunity to meet other people staying at the hostel. The meals price is very affordable for a hot meal and filling. Along with a sense of community cleaning your dishes and playing cards after dinner.
