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 only thing is that it’s right next to the busy high way, which if you rented a car would be a bit annoying with limited parking but I didn’t have an issue as I was not driving this time
the set up is beautiful and chill. one of the few hostels with a Pool. everyone there was super nice and chill. The room I was in was full of great people who were friendly, also not noisy at night. I like that the bunks have privacy curtains especially! everything was super clean & convenient separate bathrooms and separate showers. The dog there is the sweetest 😍 she makes it feel like home. Recommend for alone travel! will come back!

United StatesNomada Beach Hostel is like a little oasis near the beach. Behind the doors is a wonderful, funky hostel with a nice pool, kitchen and grilling facilities, and plenty of seating in common areas. Despite being near a major road, the noise is somehow diminished when you are inside. A great place to stay.

United StatesA very busy, and well-used highway is right in front of the hostel. This is why you need to use the pedestrian bridge to get to the beach or shops or restaurants on the other side. So when you're in the common areas or even in the room, you hear the highway noise. I also couldn't help but think about all of the pollutants I was breathing in 24/7. On one of the mornings there, I think the generator near the room turned on because a very loud and sustained noise woke me. It stayed that way for a few hours before stopping.
This hostel is by far the most well-designed hostel I've stayed at-beating some 4 star hotels! Bonus: it is also well-maintained and the staff put in a lot of effort to keep every part of it clean!! Room: I was in the 8 all-female dorm room and never felt cramped for space. Each bed had a strip of outlet including 2 usb plugs, plus a small reading light. All beds had curtains so you could have privacy. There were hooks and hangers by the beds. A door separates the bedroom from the common areas. Common Areas: There are 3 shower rooms with a multi-level plastic stand in each. The door had a hook on the inside and there were larger hooks outside between the rooms. Water pressure on the shower was ok. There are 2 separate toilet rooms that have a very entertaining sign that I'll leave you to discover. And 3 sinks with a full wall mirror for other general clean up. The kitchen was very well-kept. Black dishes and mugs came from Ikea. The utensils were not grungy or old. I loved that there was an air fryer instead of 2-slice bread toaster! Microwave, flat-top stove, and fridge rounds up the kitchen. The fridge was full while the freezer was barely used when I was there. Plenty of varied seating around the property. Swimming pool was fun and a good mix up after the beach. The locks are all electronic so no need to worry about lost keys...but it does mean you have to remember a code for the main door and the one to your room. Location: Isla Verde beach is minutes away across the pedestrian bridge and was not as crowded as the one in Ocean Park. There are a few car rental companies along the main drag. It's about 5 mins from the airport, but not at all walk-able, so you're stuck with uber or chancing it with extremely limited public transportation. You can walk to Old San Juan from the hostel. It takes 2+ hours and the neighborhoods progress in wealth along the way. Or take the T5 or 53 bus for $0.75/ride.

United Statesthe front staff neglected to guide me to the property . another guest showed me the bathrooms and showers. the staff shared to be new at the job. she showed me the outside bathroom and showers, so I thought I had to go outside to use these facilities. instead , each room has door access to the shared showers and bathrooms without going outside
loved the property . their business concept works and it shows their effort to provide a positive experience

United StatesIts near a busy road, so if you decide to drive just be mindful when backing out. I wish the lights near the community sinks was brighter (makeup purposes) :)
Location was perfect. Close to the Isla Verde beach and airport. Depending on Uber peak times, I literally spent less than $5 bucks getting to the airport.
