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.).

AustraliaBeautiful view and I got a free upgrade! Loved it and would definitely go back. Dorm was big with lots of space and a nice big patio too. The staff were so friendly and helpful, helped me with my suitcase. There are some steps to get up but it was okay. Only thing is that it’s a fair walk down to the port/main area, my legs are so sore from the steps

GermanyPersonally we didn’t mind the climb at all as it’s a very good trade off for the great views, but for some, it might be a nuisance.
Amazing people, we got a plenty of tips about our stay. Greatest views ever from a hostel. Attention to details design-wise and regarding technicalities. We visited the double room with a balcony available beside the dormitory rooms and had a great hotel-like private experience with the benefits of more fun hostel vibes.

AustraliaNot really a dislike as such just a note to follow travellers. This accommodation has remarkable views over Positano. Those views come at a price, either a internal bus ride for a very small fee or your daily exercise after that gelato up the hill, personally I enjoyed the walk.
The hostel is more like a hotel, exceptional, the owner has really thought about what a traveller needs to make their stay memorable. There are even detailed directions for local attractions in the area and the buses to catch. It’s evident these owners have their fingers on the pulse for a successful business. Staff are warm, friendly and super helpful. Really enjoyed my stay here. Big thanks to everyone there.

AustraliaGreat stay, about 10-15 minute walk (downhill) to the centre! The views here are lovely, the staffs are kind and the space in this hostel was lovely! The common space was especially beautiful, with loads of seatings available on the balcony too. Although the room and toilets were smaller, it was cleaned regularly, which is much appreciated. Breakfast was extra, and I opted for scrambled eggs one morning and it was cooked beautifully. No complaints!

PolandAs for a hostel, it was a little expensive. But it is Positano.
THE MOST AMAZING VIEW I HAVE EVER HAD FROM MY BALCONY!! Hostel also offered breakfast (a little expensive but it is Positano), didn't try it myself but it looked and smelled amazing. Very nice bathrooms in the rooms, you get your own towel, it is located close to the centre and the beach - basically everything about this place is amazing.

United StatesThe location is a pain to get to... It's not really walkable as it's high up. You have to catch the local bus (often crowded), and ride 10 minutes or so. It's possible to walk downhill into town in about 20-30 minutes or so, or to walk to a few restaurants if you are good with stairs. There are also no sidewalks so you're walking on the edge of the street and people drive pretty crazy. Learn to use the bus system and you'll be fine.
Stunning views, friendly chill vibes, overall clean.

United StatesThe staff were helpful and friendly. They suggested a porter for my luggage if coming by ferry. That information was very valuable. I didn’t ride the bus but instead chose to walk and it was only 35 minutes and the views were worth it every time. The bus stop is very close to the Hostel if you chose to use it.

IrelandOnly point down is the coffe / drink in the morning, I didn’t get the breakfast, food only coffe and hot chocolate. They don’t provide kitchen or kettle , fridge etc what I understand as they offer breakfast, it’s a little bit expensive , so I think the quality should be better , the coffee and hot chocolate I had wasn’t good , very small and watery . I think an improvement on the breakfast quality would be amazing !!!
