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.).

AustraliaGotta keep the cat out of the dormitories.
Helpful staff - they adjusted my stay as I was held up by one day with travel issues before I could arrive as originally planned. I let them know in advance. Close to 24 hour super market. Good kitchen. Lockers in rooms. Close to train station. Not too far to walk to the seaside and walk along the bayside boulevard. A very pleasant place to stay.

South AfricaYou only have access to Aircon between 9pm and 9am so the rooms can be a little hot during the day but you are usually out exploring the city. The location is close to a supermarket but to get to attractions in the city you will need to take an Uber/bus which is very cheap.
This hostel is big, clean and the shared kitchen is well equipped. There are many social areas and a pool, although the pool was closed during our visit. Our room was simple, clean and comfortable.

AustraliaAs stated in other reviews, the area feels a bit rough, especially at night. But it's close to metro and good value for money. Was an odd vibe with some solo older guys hanging around the hostel all day.
Large and well stocked kitchen, will hold bags during San Blas. Private room was comfortable and good AC. Small but nice pool and outdoor areas are good for chilling.

GermanyThe hostel itself was nice but I didn't felt comfortable in the area where the hostel is located which is why I wouldn't book there again. Also I stayed for two nights and my bed was changed after one night without notifying me and all my stuff was put away (I don't know for which reason because my "old" bed was empty the other night too).
Clean hostel, nice chillout areas, big rooms and bathrooms. Good price. Cute animals included. :)

PanamaNothing I can think of, maybe rehinge a few bathroom doors?
Everything is kept tidy. The animals are friendly and the staff excellent. There is no alcohol coming in with guests as before so the evenings are quieter and one can sleep early if desired, although drinks are available from the bar. Guests are always a pleasure to meet and share stories with, too.

United KingdomThe hostel needs some TLC, pool doesn't look very clean and the sofas are very old and worn. The air con is turned on late at 9pm and there are no fans in the room so in the evenings it is very hot in the hot. Same in the morning because the air con is turned off at 9am. The vibe also feels a little weird, it's not very social if you need that.
Nice Kitchen and garden area.
