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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

IndiaIt is the only hostel in bada Aceh, the capital city of Aceh province, and it's a very nice hostel to stay in. The beds are very comfortable, the hosts are very nice, and location is very close to the attractions in the city. It is a nice place to stay before heading to sabang, and they can help you with your planning for sabang, and give you good tips for food in bada Aceh.

FranceLala Hostel is maybe the best Hostel I have seen in all South Asia. This is by far the most clean that I have been. I stayed 20 days there and never seen any dirt !! The staff working there is so welcoming and helping everyone to get the best experience there. Ilham will give you a lot of different tips if you are looking to visit the region, planning to go to sabang… I would definitely recommend it

AustraliaSuggest some basic hostel rules particularly around noise at night in the dormitories. My roommate was on the phone at 1.30am and receiving calls around 4am - her volume on full. Hopefully simple rules will stop this behaviour! Also hooks in the bathroom, there are shelves but for the taller people.
Ilham was great, knowledgeable and helpful. Hostel was a 30min walk to the main centre and sights of Aceh.

United KingdomThere is nothing to dislike - I think Ache is less travelled so I didn’t meet any other backpackers while I was there but all the locals that I met were so welcoming and ready to show me around Ache!
The staff are the highlight, so lovely and helpful! I learnt a lot about Ache because of them and they gave me a lot of advise. Facilities are clean and bed was comfortable! Tea and coffee available is always lush! I stayed 4 nights over all and I left my backpack for a few days when I visited Sabang. I would stay there again :)

SerbiaPoor owner doesn't get to take a break, everyone wants to stay here (this review probably won't help, sorry in advance) :)
I always put my faith in good reviews - and they didn't disappoint once again. This hostel is everything you want in a hostel - good location, clean rooms, everything's working properly (from AC to Wifi), good price, and probably the coolest people you'll find in this city, from the owner to the guests.
