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.).

SwitzerlandLots of smokers on top terrace at table where people were trying to eat. Lots of ups and downs in the building. 2 day wait for laundry one time. Second time it was all day. Internet varied depending on your room. Downstairs room had no ventilation, but had nightly ac. Bug bites. Decent pillows for wire furnishings.
Breakfast of nice pancakes and later paid omelette and fruit. Laundry cleaned and folded (the second time). Helped with luggage upon arrival. Bottom large bunk was ok. The workaways tried their best, but could have used a bit more training. Their English fluency was terrific. Other people were mostly very nice and helpful.

CanadaNo paper towels or hand dryers to dry your hands after using the bathroom. The community fridge was not the cleanest which is everyone's responsibility. Guests need to do better. The lack of planned activities for hostel guests. The gym mirror facing our open bedroom window. I believe we were told the place had AC but this was not the case. Some staff members were not as friendly as others and just kept to themselves rather than making all people feel welcome.
I enjoyed the roof top the most and the consistency that the staff cleaned on daily basis. ex. power washing bathrooms, roof top. There were many spaces to hang out in. Compared to other hostels we stayed in Mexico, this was our favorite. It was a short walk to the ocean. I liked how they had cold drinks for purchase and beach towels to rent.

PortugalThe room was a bit loud (from the street noise) and bright. The breakfast is included but its always pancakes, which can get tiring if you stay for a long time.
The bed was conformable and I was lucky to have a private bathroom in the room. The hostel has activities everyday organized by volunteers which is great if you are travelling alone and want to meet people and have company to explore Puerto Vallarta. The location is great, really close to downtown and next to bus stops.

CanadaCan get really noisy in the early AM. Can’t complain too much about that considering it’s literally right in the city centre and it’s too hot to work in the PM. Also no shower curtain, so every time anyone would have a shower the floor would be very very wet.
Location, not 2 minutes to the beach and boardwalk (if you don’t get distracted on the way), outfitted kitchen, security, ocean view from rooftop. great people (can’t stress this enough), large scope of different peoples. A really laid back atmosphere. Rooms cleaned every day (aside from your bunk, thankfully). List goes on.

CanadaThe bathroom situation, even though there’s 3 (which is also not great) it felt like there was only one because the other two were on the 3rd floor where everyone is having breakfast, lots of time wasted to shower or use the toilet, there’s no activities like it’s mentioned on other reviews.

United StatesThe bathroom/shower was upstairs from my room, and not situation in a private place (right outside from where one prepares meals) but since it was my first experience at a Hostel in a foreign country, it was much appreciated by me.
The location was exceptional, only one block from the ocean, and the room was more than adequate.

United Arab EmiratesThere is only 2 toilets and 1 shower for all the occupants of the hostel on the upper level the balcony area. The sink is outside so I guess in winter can get a bit cold to wash your teeth face or in summer can be too hot.
As central as it gets. The balcony is nice.

LithuaniaBathroom weren't exactly clean in a way, one time I just saw women throw a bucket of chlorine water thrown into the washroom so not entirely sure how if that's the end of cleaning. Bathroom is literally next to the kitchen on the patio (at least that's the only one we've been shown) which is not great when someone is eating there or having a party or smth. Wifi was down several times during a week long stay.
Place is beautiful, colourful, have lovely patio where you can chill and enjoy sunset. A/C is available in the rooms but only from 6 or 7 PM until I think 10 AM in the morning. Friendly and helpful staff, majority of them volunteers yet still super nice. Location is great.
