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.).

Czech RepublicWe were lucky with the weather and had almost no rain through the stay, but having a couple of more hangers in the room would be good in case if more rain or just casual use.
The hostel is situated in the old town, which was great for us as we were travelling by bus. All of them were 5 min walk away. The staff is very friendly and ready both help you or just chat any time. The breakfast was nice, but having a few veggies with it would make it even better :).

PortugalNOTHING, I've stayed in a 5-star hotel once, and honestly, I would prefer this hostel.
The staff were incredibly gentle and supportive, always dedicated to providing the best care for the guests. When I fell ill during my stay, they went above and beyond to support my wife in ensuring I was comfortable and well taken care of. The rooms were exceptionally spacious and peaceful. The breakfast offered an excellent variety, just the right amount to satisfy. Additionally, the kitchen was fully equipped, allowing us the convenience to cook and dine in. Detailed instructions regarding access codes, complimentary parking, and staff availability were provided in advance, ensuring a seamless experience. Overall, everything flowed smoothly.

HungaryThe only thing was the opportunity to wash my clothes there. They have a washing machine but only to wash the towels and sheets. If you need to wash clothes you can find a laundry place called UOCH! 5 min walk from the hostel where 4.5€ 8kg clothes to wash and 2€ to dry them.
I booked a bed in a 6 bed dormitory (only females). Ended up with only one girl next to me the whole week of my staying. Checkin is easy, they send you your personal code before your arrival so you can get into the building, your room and your locker (all these operate with code, but you get a card as well upon arrival. Also no need to bring a lockpad). The beds are well separated (one lower-bed on one side facing with an upper-bed on the other side, all having a curtain, little lamp and socket for charging your electronics). Room has AC. The bathroom shower is HUGE, you got big towel/small towel/stepping out from the shower towel and they get changed every 3 days. The room also have a sofa, a reading lamp and on the balcony a clothes rack (was super useful when I needed to dry my freshly washed clothes) with a chair. Staff was always super kind and helpful! Breakfast was great (although no veggies, they put out fruits daily ). There is a SPAR 2 min walk from the hostel and a pharmacy is really close too.

United States:) Everything was terrific.
Ilha Hostel and Suites was modern, perfectly located, CLEAN, quiet, centrally located but on a quiet street, secure and all-around excellent. Photos are accurate but, in reality, the space is even better than we imagined. Our room was available early which allowed us a quick nap to energize from an overnight flight. The other guests were friendly and shared information readily. The managers went way above and beyond to make our stay perfect in every way. They lent us appropriate towels for the thermal pools, shared tips on parking that were right on the mark, and, engaged with us in meaningful conversations. They sensed that we were looking to find out more about their life on the island and they responded in kind. We feel like we started a friendship that might continue, especially if we able to return to Ponta Delgada. Great choice which we highly recommend.

IndiaPatricia the host was so warm and welcoming. We loved her the moment we entered the property. She gave us all the required information before hand to ensure a smooth arrival and check in. She also gave us great recommendations of the island. The room and the property overall was beyond expectations. Everything was spic and span. The rooms were super clean and comfortable, and the property was equipped with all the necessary facilities. The breakfast was also good. Overall we throughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend to anyone visiting the island as it's close to the airport and the city center. Patricia, thanks once again for hosting us and showering us with all your love ❤️
