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.).

Canada1 shower is out of order leaving only 1 for the rooms without a bathroom, but it wasn't busy when i was there so wasn't a problem.
Loved the kitchen its a decent size with decent pots and pans it even has a coffee machine. The hostel is really cute and has a lot of different areas available to work in or just socialize in the kitchen area or lounge. Its downtown and only a short walk away from La Placita the main nightlife area or a 30 minute walk from a good part of the beach.

United StatesThe private bath didn't have hot water in the morning, but I don't mind a cool shower once in a while. My travel companion had a hot shower in a the shared bath.
We found a fun spot for breakfast, 10 minutes walk. Lots of restaurants nearby. The hostel was clean and had great amenities including rooftop to enjoy the evening air. Our private room with bath was cozy and comfortable, with great a/c.

United StatesThe only down side is that there were no outlets at each bed, and not enough outlets in a 16 bed room. There were no personal lights either. The AC was on full time, cold for PR. I got sick upon leaving.
The staff were wonderful. The place was very clean. Over it was clean and most importantly, clean bathrooms! I would stay here again.

United StatesEverything was nice. The self check in is easy. Just that I had a problem because they forgot to send me the code and I had to wait outside until they had my call. Since it was Sunday night it took a long time for them to answer the phone but after that they sent me the code right away. Everything in nice and clean and it feels cozy. I really recommend this place. The staff should double check they send all the information if the guest is going to make self check in, but I understand that can happen to everyone.

United StatesAll the back & forth emails prior to my very late arrival since the hostel required photo of Driver's License, etc. They had to send me an instructional video with code to access the front door & my room.
The kitchen was right across the hall from the room with 4 beds (i.e. 2 bunks) and although I arrived past 1:00a.m. there were people in the kitchen talking loudly, so I told them we were trying to sleep. Eventually I slept and I was the last to leave the room. I had to buy my own breakfast at a cafe opposite the hostel. The gal in the office kindly ordered an Uber for me as I don;t have an App. I gave her a hot coffee as thanks. I really liked the quaintness of the hostel but I am an older lady and feel it is more suited for the younger travellers.

Overall is great! It is a great location, hostel is very clean. Lots of place where to eat right there.

Dominican RepublicReally the only issue was having an outlet for each person close to your bed. If you were on a top bunk, you were out of luck and had to leave your phone down below. Sometimes there was not enough outlets for everyone in the dorm room.
A hostel experience is greatly impacted by the other guests which can be hit or miss. This go around, I stayed in the smaller room and some evenings, there were guests open to socializing while others it was not. The staff was friendly and helpful. The location is real close to a 24 hour supermarket and a central location in San Juan.

AustriaThe streets of San Juan are noisy at night, and even here you hear some of that, but it wasn't too bad.
The hostel was nicely decorated and felt very homey. It was about a 10 min walk to get to restaurants/shops. The AC in the room was great, and the beds and pillows in the private room were very comfy. They were super friendly and happy to hold our luggage for us after check out. We didn't use the kitchen facilities but they looked very nice! Nice common areas to sit & do computer work or read, too.

United Statesthe shower in the 16-bed dorm only has two settings-burn your skin off hot or cold. lol … the other showers don’t get hot at all. but it’s not a big deal. the 16-bed room can be a little loud on the weekend cuz it’s right next to the street, but earplugs usually work well enough to sleep. the other rooms are much quieter though.
the staff are absolutely amazing. the kitchen is expansive and well-stocked for cooking. the bed is quite comfortable! there are several lovely common areas to chill, work, read, etc. the rooftop is awesome!

CanadaThe shared bathroom was lockable but one never knew if it was occupied. Recommend the hotel install another lock( which shows red or green when the person slides that lock) or indicator to show when the bathroom is occupied. Have hostels stopped supplying a body wash/ shampoo dispenser in the shower? This one didn’t have one.
We had the double bed with 2 extra beds. Good size room. Not enough outlets to charge devices. There was an AC control. Roof top was available though we never saw anyone up there. Super clean.

United Statesflight of stairs with a big bag was not convenient. space was great but these sugestión will improve: •charging port in the bunk beds •lighting: -soft runway lighting in the corridor of the bunk beds so you know where to walk when the room is dark. - two light switches, one just when you walk in the room and another to light up the bunk bed section. -bathroom, more bathrooms would be nice. they seem to fill up quickly. but a least a sign that says vacant or occupied so you don’t have to knock or pull on the door to know if someone is inside it.
property is very charming, and designed so nice. what your see in the pics is EXACTLY what you get. it’s not a catfish. close to EVERYTHING

United StatesI thought there was a bar on rooftop and there wasn’t. It was a sign that said text us if you want a beer. Also I had a very loud roommate who would wake up and make loud noises every morning from 6-7am. Obviously that isn’t the hostels fault. What they could change is making the room brighter. It is very dark and there’s only one warm light.
The staff were lovely and very helpful. I loved meeting new people and the place was very clean.
