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.).

NetherlandsMaybe two bathrooms for 12+ people are a bit too few and there is no much space in the room to pack and unpack but overall it was amazing.
Very cute and equipped hostel. I really appreciated the body and hair soap in the dispenser in the shower and the little soaps on the sink provided and the giant locker in the room -- I could fit my two backpack and there was also a lot space left. The locker works with a 4 digit password so no need for your own lock. It is very clean, with comfortable beds, privacy guaranteed by the curtains, USB charging station in each bed, towels provided and also a blanket -- in case of cold weather.

SpainIf you are a light sleeper - this is located right in the middle of a busy Street full of pubs, clubs, etc, so expect to hear music until 2-3am. Also, at least one of the rooms doesn't have a window. The male dorm seems to be accessible from the street - literally, you open the door of the dorm and you're outside the building. None of these was a problem for me but in case it is for you!
Staff (David, Carla...) were really nice, helpful and polite. Beds are comfy and the curtains give you privacy if needed. Plugs and lights in every bed. The place is extraordinarily clean. Has a small kitchen. 2-3 supermarkets at a walking distance and literally in front of the beach.

United KingdomLocation is sub-par, its right next to a bar that gets very loud on weekends (not the best for a good night's sleep), and lots of street dealers hanging around the street outside made things a little uncomfortable
Very clean and secure hostel, right on the main strip, great little back garden area to relax in. Staff were very friendly and showed me around the place way before check in time which was really nice!

United StatesTourist street outside is pretty tacky. Hostel lacks a room to relax and kitchen is small, but in fairness there is not any extra rooms. Hostel is divided to males downstairs and women upstairs with separate entry, kitchen, dorms and showers.
Location very close to great beach. Hostel is newly remodeled with new beds and mattresses. Clara the owner cleans the place herself and is very helpful/extra towels if needed.

GermanyHowever, on weekend evenings there can be some unpleasant music vibrations
The beds are very comfortable, the curtain guaranteed really full privacy, the 2 bed lights are great atmospheric and the air conditioner is quiet and effective. All doors and private lockers are secured and locked with the newest technology. Everything is very precious, especially the bathroom, even if it is a bit small. The kitchen is fully equipped and offers many options, and the nearby porch is very welcoming. And most notably: The welcome and continuous support from the hostess give the stay a very warm touch.

United StatesThere isn’t much I disliked about the property, but the butter knifes kept breaking in half😆 also If it was peak season I personally would avoid staying here since the space is so small, at full capacity I would imagine it could get really cramped.
Really nice “homey” space I went during November when not many people were their so I had a whole room to myself. Everything was super clean, Carla was amazing helpful really went out of her way to make guest feel welcomed! Also had my own air conditioning. Carla speaks French, English & Portugese

United KingdomThe location was perfect although maybe a lot noisier in the summer months. The bed was comfy for a hostel and no charge for the locker to keep things safe during the day when I was out. Staff were lovely, you need to go into the hotel next door to check into the hostel. The hostel had recently had an update and everything seemed reasonably new, shower was excellent plenty of power and hot water.

United KingdomThe hostel is right next to two pubs and two clubs. The walls are thin and the music is extremely loud. The clubs did not shut until 3am. The bed did not have a power socket but instead a place for USB making charging anything electronic quite slow.
The check-in was smooth and pleasant. The staff was amazing and helpful. Easy to get into the hostel. Storage is big enough to put a backpack and extra things. The bed was comfortable.

ArgentinaIt's basically an apartment where they fitted a lot of beds. No common areas. Only 2 plugs for electricity (Beds have 1.0 USB charger which are super slow to charge a device and not USB-C available). Very noisy as it's 30 mts away from a night club. The door of the bedroom which goes straight to the main street was always open and you have people smoking weed all the time downstairs so the smell was all around the bedroom and you have very dodgy people at the entrance selling drugs and trying to snitch in at night. There is 1 tiny bathroom shared with 12 beds so if someone was taking a shower you had to go to a public WC a few streets away. The kitchen is also very small and if someone cooks anything all the smell goes to the bedroom. No hostel vibe at all, there was a guest drinking wine all day (drunk) and they wouldn't say anything. It's ok for 1 night I don't recommend it more than that. Don't be fooled with their 8+ review as Booking won't help you once you are there
It's close to the beach
