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.).

CanadaThe room I stayed in did not have a good shower. It was clean and spacious, which truly, cleanliness is the most important part. There was no water pressure and the shower head didn't flow correctly. Clearly the head itself could use a proper deep clean or a completely new one.
Unfortunately for me, the one morning I tried to get breakfast, they had none available. Which was a real disappointment because the only thing on the cafe menu was bagels cream cheese or butter. So, the one item advertised was not available. Fail.

United StatesMy bed was very uncomfortable. It was a bunk bed. It made a lot of noise every time I slightly moved, disturbing the person below me. It made me very anxious because this person made it very clear I was bothering. I asked for a different bed but was told there was not one available? It didn't make sense because there were 10 beds, and only 4 were used the whole time I was there. I would still return. I loved it otherwise.
I loved how clean it was. The staff was professional and courteous. A big thank you to Henry and Sara for their kindness ❤️ the pool was very nice. There were so many areas to hang out, depending on what you were looking for. There are bathrooms outside and a changing room which helps a lot. The kitchen was big, modern, had everything, and was very clean. My visit was almost perfect.

EgyptShortage in staff .. sometimes I have to go look for someone .. especially for changing towel or something Also, I understand there is no breakfast included but it would have been nice just having a coffee or its filters ! “Stayed in other hostels before that didn’t have breakfast but coffee was always available “
This hostel is well maintained .. very clean! I tried the mixed dorm for the first night .. beds were comfortably distributed with spaces so you don’t feel crammed.. there are bed curtains so great privacy while in a shared dorm! The rest of the nights I spent in a private room .. it exceeded my expectations.. spacious .. AC & a desk .. a couch .. mini bar.. main lightening and side beds with smart touch & USB sockets were 2 ppl can comfortably charge their phones … Even though bathroom is shared but I never felt waiting for being shared .. toilet stalls separate from showers and a huge 3 sinks area with 2 hairdryers .. I even saw an iron with its table avail 😃 And most important it’s safe .. all code access and super clean

United StatesStaff works hard to keep it clean so if the GUESTS did a better job of putting their paper towels and waste INTO the garbage can (not the floor), labeling food in the refrigerator and cleaning the dishes better.
The location is great. It is very close to the airport so you can arrive and depart easily. It's very close to the beach with a pedestrian bridge nearby that makes crossing the road easy. The staff is great...very friendly and helpful. The hostel itself is kept clean and welcoming.

United StatesThe location is great because it is close to the airport but farther from most other things in the city. Sometimes an Uber is $5 but other times it is $20+ so you need to time things right to get around easily that way.
The space and pool were very nice. A very easy walk to the beach. I stayed in the female dorm and found the curtains on the bed to be nice for privacy. The beds were comfortable. All facilities were clean and well maintained. I wish the lockers were a little larger so I could fit my whole travel pack inside but everyone staying was respectful of others belongings.

United StatesIt would have been nice to have shampoo/conditioner readily available! I ended up going to Walgreens down the street to get some.
Nomada was a great place to stay for a quick getaway to Puerto Rico. We stayed in the voyager room - private queen bed with attached bath. The value was unbelievable! A quick 5 minute walk to the beach (so long as you are able to climb the stairs of the pedestrian bridge over the highway), clean bedding, and accessible to bus stops and Ubers. I felt safe and comfortable at Nomada and LOVED that there is a restaurant right next door (Nomada guests receive a 15% discount)!

United StatesIt seemed odd that the hostel didn’t have the ability to book from the front desk. We were walk ins and the nighttime receptionist (who wasn’t friendly at all) directed us to book online as we sat in the lobby. After booking, the receptionist didn’t really direct us or welcome us at all. However, once inside we were greeted by one more employee who was much warmer and welcoming. Seeming how the receptionist is the first impression, I’d suggest training a friendlier individual rather than someone who seems annoyed by your presence.
Hostel was set up well with comfortable and relaxing public spaces. We had a private room in a quiet section of the hostel which was very nice. The attached bar was super cool.

United StatesSteps off the highway, throughout the day you would hear horns and truck air horns. No activities at the hostel, seemed more intent to have people go offsite. One staff member, long braided hair, very unhelpful. Always treated guests like they were bothering her.
Other guests were great. People in mixed dorms were respectful and tried to adhere to quiet times. Almost all the staff were very accommodating and tried to resolve any issues.

Czech RepublicThe hostel is located in a busy area and therefore the surrounding noise corresponds to this. But we didn't mind. But we were a little surprised how much you can hear, for example, talking by the pool in the room (and probably vice versa).
This accommodation exceeded our expectations. The common areas are clean, the kitchen is functional, the pool is great. We were a little worried before arriving, but the communication regarding the entry codes worked well. The hostel looks much better from the outside than it does on google.
