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.).

NorwayKitchen and bathroom cleanliness may be improved. (simply cleaning more often, fixing not working elements).
The major advantage of the hostel is the location. Best possible - from the 2nd-floor balcony you have the same view as on surfline camera. The staff is very friendly and speaks English. You can pay with a card (but the provision is 10%) so cash is more economical option. The hostel has very particular architecture - there is a corridor between ocean ocean-view front and rooms- I discovered that the ocean-view room is available and I moved tho that room. The hostel can do laundry for you, they have board rental and you can order food on place (breakfast/dinner type). They also have drinking water in bottles - that's very convenient. Its a surfing hostel - so easy to mingle with surfers.

UkraineThe single room advertised is way smaller than it appears,
The location is great. At first I was put in a very small place and it didn't feel comfortable, then I spoke with the manager and he was nice enough to put me in a better room. The whole place is really good if you like to surf. The rooms are nice and there are facilities like kitchen and lounge. They have boards and wet suits for hire. You may want to haggle a bit to get a good price for things. It's actually best not to use booking apps, if you do, don't sweat it too much cause you get a complementary breakfast and it usually it works out similar.

PeruReally helpful owners, on site resturant and shop for water and beers was really convinient and very fairly priced. Great location for surfing, can’t get much closer to the point and had storage for boards and drying wetsuits. Great vibe with other surfers staying there and they had contacts for organising a boat and rental kit. Nice room, very happy with double bed for the price. Shared kitchen upstairs that looked good although I didn’t use it.

SwitzerlandThere is no warm water and the air circulation in the rooms is not the best. Ok in wintertime but still, the nights were really hot.
Location is absolutely perfect. Nice view over the beach and this beautiful wave. Good food, juices and coffee also available during the day.

CanadaCleanliness in general could be better. I also didn’t expect that there would not be cleaning service in my room like the floors and bed routinely. New bedsheets and towels were fine but must be asked for.
Fantastic location and views! Super chill ambience and easy going. Met good people at the hostel, too, always in good company! I utilized the kitchen a lot, and the views to the beach were amazing each morning before the surf.

GermanyI thought I booked the tripple room as a private but when I arrived they said it’s a dorm. Booking didn’t show me clearly that it’s dorm. the staff said someone is coming for one night but no one came. so it didn’t really effect me in the end. but it could be better marked on here that the tripe room is not private!
really good located! if you surf the best place to stay. it’s front row and offers you a nice view over the whole beach like no other! the staff was nice and really helpful. they also offer to cook for you!
