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.).

GermanySometimes a bit loud at night because of a local bar right in front of the hostel, but I think you can't avoid it if you stay in ther center of bocas town. :)
Very nice and cozy hostel right in the center of bocas town, all you need is in a 1 minute walk around. Friendly welcome even that we arrived very late (10 p.m., unusual time to arrive on Isla Colón). The kitchen ist well equipped, rooms are clean, and big enough.

SwitzerlandNothing :-) only tipp: a floormat for the shower would be nice
We had a cozy double room on the first floor, which was well equipped with everything you need, nice warm shower with enough pressure (unlike other places). Shared kitchen also well equipped, every room has their space in the fridge, kitchen the cleanest we‘ve seen so far. Entire hostel and room very clean, best we‘ve had. Perfect location close to boat taxi/excursions, supermarket and restaurants, and surprisingly quiet for the central location. Would definitely stay here again.

United KingdomLocation: Town location, stores and restaurants in walking distance. Noise: Private room with balcony. Bar across the street from my room (other rooms at the back of property), but it was okay- local music not duff duff. Problem was truck drivers use that side street for lay up and leave their engines running for ages, one night a refrigerated truck left engine running all night-very annoying, but not every night. Light: Lot of outside light, had to cover windows with towels. Mattress: Too soft for me! Other: Weak ceiling fan for this baking room, had to buy a little standing fan for $15, if youre lucky its still there. Room cooled by about midnight. Nice manager.

United StatesThere was nothing wrong with the hostel, but the area around the hotel can get somewhat noisy at night just because it is in Bocas Town, so keep that in mind.
The location was right in town near all of the restaurants and water taxis! And although the hostel was near night life, there was no partying at the hostel and it was quiet at night, which was awesome! They clean your room every day and give you fresh towels. And the kitchen was very clean. Felt more like a hotel than a hostel!
