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 KingdomI was very comfortable staying there and have no negative comments.
The hosts are amazing, kind people. Fatima comes round every day to clean and help the guests. She really cares about the guests a lot. The hostel is spacious, bright, clean and well equipped. There is a large common area with a kitchen and seating area. Such a great place to stay and meet other travelers. The hostel deserves it high rating.

The host is the sweetest, most warm and welcoming person. You can tell she really cares about her guests, and she comes by every day to clean or check on things. Beds are very comfortable, and bathrooms are clean and large with plenty of hot water.

CroatiaThe room is pretty small and it doesn't have air conditioning, but a ventilator, so especially if you're on the top bed, barely any fresh air gets there, so it was extremely hot. If an air conditioning doesn't fit in the room it would be good at least to put it in the hallway so some cold air could flow into the room.
It was very clean, the bed was comfortable, there were two separate showers, the staff was very kind and wanted to help with our stay as much as they could, they had a good hair dryer which is a rarity. There was also a small balcony that had a hanger for wet laundry and I never saw that in a hostel so it is a big bonus for me.

United KingdomThe check-in was bad, because I had to wait for more than 30 minutes to be let into the hostel to check-in. The hostel was relatively expensive, although the coastal area along Albufeira is generally expensive.
The hostel owners are friendly and gave some good advice and recommendations. The hostel is more like an apartment because it's for 6 people only, and there are 3 bathrooms in total. Also there is a kitchen area, and a fridge, freezer and cupboard to store any food that you have. The hostel was very clean and well kept. The location is also very good as it's within walking distance of the city centre, and some beaches like Praia dos Alemães.

ItalyCurtains could be added for more privacy. Some people snoring which ruined a bit my sleep, but it was not the fault of the accommodation. If you snore, it is usually better to book your own room to not disturb others
Very lovely accommodation, everything is well ordered and kept clean! The staff is super friendly and fun! Also close to the beach and in the middle of everything so it is possible to reach the main areas by foot :)

AustriaFatima is by far the most wonderful and lovely host to exist! The moment I arrived it felt like home. It’s the most familial hostel I have ever been too. On top of that is the location super nice! The old town and the famous „Strip“ (party, going out) are easily accessible by foot. If you come to Albufeira and need a stay - don’t miss out on Fatima and Boas-Vindas. Thank you so much Fatima!

United KingdomI think the price was a little too high but then again, August is a popular time to go to Albufeira so I can’t complain too much
Location is good. 5 minute walk from the beach. 1 minute walk to the bus stop to go to the main Albufeira bus station. 10-15 minute walk to Albufeira old town. Staff were very friendly, warm and welcoming. Bathrooms were clean and good quality.

PortugalWhat's not to like there when you have some super human beings running the show.
Boas-Vindas & especially Tiago & Fatima will hold a very special place in my heart. They are always smiling and not the extra mile, but many many miles more to do whatever it takes to make the guest smile. They are extremely empathetic to solve all your troubles. May God Bless Them At All Times, till Eternity, AMEN
