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.).

BrazilThere could be more cleaning done in the rooms (especially on the windows which seem to be accumulating dust for a long time). The rooms are a bit dark and some of them only have natural light. Also, depending on which bed you get to sleep on, it's going to be hard to sleep as they don't turn the AC on and the fan can't reach all beds. The area is quite noisy all day long ( night time too!).
Good cheap hostel close to the metro station, supermarket and restaurants. The staff is very friendly and eager to help with any questions. Digital nomad friendly: The WiFi is great and it's possible to work from certain areas of the hostel with some level of comfort.

United StatesDespite the daily cleaning it was still a bit dirty throughout our stay. Additionally the door locks if closed fully. Without a full time staff it can be difficult to just come and go as you please. We regularly had to go searching through the villa to find someone that could open the door for us to get into our uber in the morning.
The price was great for everything Hostal Villa offered. We stayed in a dorm bed and they were able to put us all in the same room. It has a nice seating area with couches and a TV as well as a balcony that guests can sit on to get some fresh air. Each room and communal space was cleaned every day.

Czech RepublicThe hostel was a bit stinky, there was lack of ventilation, especially in the dorm. The personal didn’t know much about tourist places - had no idea that the canal was closed on Monday and said it was opened for 100%. Rather ask on the street.
The location is great, it’s just one block from the metro station and two stops from Albrook which is very convenient. The price was good.

SwitzerlandThey offer a 4 bed room but it's actually a 10 bed room. They said "booking doesn't allow us to change it" There is no hostel atmosphere. Forget about meeting people there. I left a Tupperware in the fridge at night and in a couple of hours it was already stolen.

NetherlandsI booked a 4 bed room, but stayed in an 8 bed room, was not too busy so it was okay, but still a bit weird. Shower was nice, but only cold. Not much of a social vibe in the hostel to meet new people.
The people working at the hostel were nice and available for questions. The bed was comfortable too and air conditioning in the room via fans was nice.

United KingdomI arrived late at night and was told they were full and didn’t have a bed available even though I had a booking. I was left at reception for a long time and eventually they found a free bed. The bathroom hasn’t got a window or extraction fan so you come out sweating.
