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.).

IndiaLocation is very far from the centre, public transport is nearby but very less frequency and not proper timing. . Public transport is costly and time consuming. Room cleaning not done regularly may be once in a week.

CanadaBunk beds could have been a bit more substantial. This is a common issue in hostels.
The location was excellent. It is within a reasonable walking distance of the main bus terminal in Albufeira and has a major grocery store (with outside laundry kiosk) close by.

SpainI asked for a lower bunk due to a disability and was given an upper bunk even though the place wasn’t full. They have a cat that sneaks in and sleeps in the beds who is super cute and friendly but as someone with an allergy I was happy to have a sleeping bag with me. The receptionist didn’t speak enough English to understand my request to change. As others have said, no locks on the room doors. Also, the location is fine with a car but without one would be completely inaccessible.
Cool building with good common spaces if there had been more people staying during my trip. The place was clean and comfortable. The cat that sneaks in is adorable.

IrelandOften no toilet paper in the bathrooms, very limited kitchen facilities with only 2 bowls and blunt/broken utensils available. The staff were very sourly and often rude to guests, not explaining things clearly and seemed annoyed if you had questions. Outside space covered in ants and flies.
The beds were comfortable and linen changed daily.

United KingdomLocation is not great at all. Quite far from the city centre and any beach. But I guess you can see that from the description of the place. Buses are rather infrequent, so I ended up either walking or getting a Bolt. I felt like there were not enough bathrooms and showers for the number of people in the hostel
Was able to store my belongings in a locker before check in. Lockers are available for all guests - can either use one with your own lock or you can use a locker with key (5 euro deposit in case you lose it). There was a cat around the hostel most of the time which was great. There is a big supermarket nearby - 5mins walk. Swimming pool, but quite small
