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.).

Cayman IslandsThe Hostel is very central and cozy. The mixed dorm is spacious, cool and the bunk bed curtains give welcomed sense of privacy. The staff are exceptionally helpful in guiding you on how to get around the island with both local & convenient travel options. They are so warm. Plus the Cafe' next door is pretty convenient too. Love the dream bowls and nyam n scramble wraps. Such a great place to stay and meet like-minded travelers.

GermanyI didnt like the dorms so much...since you have to stay with around 20 people (20beds) and you still have to pay over 25 Dollars. Thats a high price for a station full of beds and people. Its also a little much because you have a constant coming in and out....so I was really afraid I couldn´t sleep or rest at all....but in the end...everything was good...I slept great and I met great people ;)
Raggamuffin- The hostel is located perfectly - just around the corner of Bob Marley museum, next to a herb shop and bar in the middle of the city. The personal working there are more than helpful. They are beautiful people who help you out whereever you can. They also offer special things...like a drive to the Bob Marley Beach or a cooking class for free, they order you a taxi as cheap as possible, and they give you good advices and help if you have a problem. I also met great people from all over the world - I loved to talk to and exchange experiences. I loved my stay there and would always stay there again ....thanks to this wonderful people working there.

United KingdomThe aircon didn't quite travel to the whole of the room but it wasn't sweltering hot at least. It would be good to have aircon in the common area too.
Curtains at your bed so a bit of privacy. I was in the 20 person dorm during carnival and it didn't feel like 20 people were there at all. The people who worked there were really helpful. It wasn't too hard to meet people at the hostel.

NorwayI am looking forward to the new chairs for outside that should be coming soon
This is the third time I stay here. The staff are like extended family at this point. They are amazing and kind and have looked after me and looked out for me in more then one way. They are currently doing a few renovations extending the space which will only add to an already awesome city hostel. I love the space. Super social. Always meet great people here. I love Kaya herb house and all of the music and vegan options in the back yard there. I will always recommend this place!

SerbiaThey charge for everything. Almost. Towel 1 usd per night. Washing machine $7 per wash. 12 usd for drying?!! I won't say it's a bad place, because Jamaica is expensive, and the money you pay is ok. But I still think that towel and washing should not be charged or at least cheaper. I would also add that it is ugly that the staff allows guests to put their dusty feet on the table! And someone is eating on that table!
Location near Bob Marley Museum. Free filtered drinking water.

NorwayWould have loved if there were more comfortable seating outside.
The staff were incredible. Kind, thoughtful and helpful. They went to the pharmacy to get me pain medication and gave me of their food when I was sick. Beds were clean. Room cool. Privacy curtains, reading light and sockets. The common areas isn't large which results in a very social atmosphere. Restaurants and bars on the same street. Felt safe even at night. Highly recommend this as your Kingston stay.
