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 StatesIt’s not posted anywhere when booking or at reception but they lock the doors at 22:00 They have a buzzer and they’ll come unlock the doors - but it’s a bad feeling to wake them up to let you in. Our bedroom ( 2 beds ) only had 2 outlets which the fans were always plugged into. To charge anything , you’d have to sacrifice being in a hot room.
It’s close by the beach, quick walk to the grocery store. Great hangout spots all over the hostel Breakfast is a nice thing to have included, clean, nice staff, have playing cards :>

IndiaThe hostel is value for money. The dorms are spacious, clean, beds comfortable. They have a fan for each bed, so it is great for when it gets hot. Breakfast is included which is amazing for the price. Location is super close to everywhere you would want to go to in San Juan Del Sur. There are many common areas to relax with comfortable hammocks and chairs. Recommend !

United KingdomExceptional Value. WiFi is excellent given the large number of people in this hostel and the included breakfast is very good for a freebie. You may also eat other meals there should you wish for reasonable prices. The room prices are exact too, so you won't be charged a penny over your booking rate - they're very precise with this which is always appreciated. Location is excellent too, with only a 1 minute walk to the beach, supermarket and centre. Hammocks galore :)

HungaryI got very angry because when I arrived there was no internet and didnt know if it will come back or not. I needed to book my next accommodation so this was a huge deal at that time. Luckily internet came back in the evening.
Bed was comfortable. We had our own bathroom for the room. The personal was also quite nice.
