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 StatesThe guy at the front desk when I arrived was not very helpful and assumed I already knew everything about the hostel as he made it seem like I was asking ridiculous questions just to clarify where I should go to find my room or where the breakfast would be in the morning. Another annoyance were the other people in the room, which I know is not the fault of the hostel and this is what you get when sharing rooms. However, maybe some more clear rules on keeping lights out after certain times as people were coming into the room all through the night and turning on and then leaving the main room lights on for hours at a time. Using a flashlight is to be expected and is what I have experienced people to do at all the other hostels I have stayed at. But I found these guests quite inconsiderate and it seemed like they were not accustomed to hostel etiquette.
Great location, safe to walk around after dark to the nearby restaurants. The room felt secure with individual codes for each one. The beds were comfortable and had good privacy being pods. Airconditioning worked well, but was not too cold which I was concerned about having read previous reviews and being someone who gets cold easily.

BrazilThe breakfast is really very basic, for me who don't eat breakfast it's ok, another thing I didn't like was that one of the attendants who checked me in wasn't very patient with my language difficulties, and whenever I saw I was in a bad mood...
The location is incredible, the hostel is clean and big, I loved the beds, I felt good in them, the rooms are also big and that's great, leisure area and pool, I recommend it and I want to stay again. Most of the staff working there are great and friendly.

GermanyThe kitchen could need some more of everything really (cutlery, plates, pots, bowls). The breakfast was really basic but at least there is breakfast and I easily pimped it when I bought my own cheese.
The beds are Pods and therefore somewhat private, the AC works and there is a comfy lounge area. The staff was also very nice.

ColombiaAs this is a hostel, more tourist information might be useful and it could add some internal activities for a more pleasant stay of solo travelers. . The front desk staff isn't very helpful, they don't care about the people, and the receptionists are immersed in their laptops. The bathroom of my bedroom has a problem It flooded when someone bathed, the hostel must find a solution. Breakfast was every day the same coffee, a fruit and bread. More variety and quantity required
The property is starting as a hostel because it is a hotel. I really like the bed and pillow, it was very comfortable. The Internet connection works in all the hostel. The property has a pool very nice to enjoy the free time. Check in and check out was very easy and they accept to keep my bags previous and after my stay, it was very useful!! The location is perfect, near old San Juan, near some beaches, near a very known place for nightlife and near the airport. The bedroom is cleaned everyday, this is so good!
