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.).

NetherlandsThe hostel is located near the center. The shared bathroom is a shared bathroom within your room which I prefer over a large shared bathroom. Also an airconditioned room is great.

DenmarkConsidering that the breakfast is not included, the room very small and very essential and no daily cleaning, the price was quite in the high end. But maybe the location, the increasing turism on the island and high request contribute to that.
Perfect location, cosy atmosphere, welcoming staff, clean room and nice to have a terrace.

GuernseyHighly recommend staying here. We stayed in a private room and it was beautiful, clean and spacious and also, very quiet at night so we slept peacefully! Great, central location on a quiet street. Also the breakfast was incredible. The best we had in Madeira and one of the best we've had anywhere!! We will definitely stay here again when we come back to Madeira! The staff were super friendly and helpful too. Thanks Jaca Hostel team for taking such good care of us!

Lovely little hostel in the centre of Funchal. We were only there for one night but felt the ace had a really nice vibe and the staff were very friendly. The patio was a very relaxing place to sit back at the end of the day. The room was clean and modern and comfortable. Thanks

FranceThe facilities are a bit narrow (kitchen, bathroom in the dorm) You can live your luggage only during the opening time of the Cafe (till 17.30)
Each dorm bed is equipped with a curtain which gives you a bit of privacy. The place is clean and cozy. You have an exterior terrace where you can eat or just chill. Automatic check-in is nice as well

GermanyThe lockers were small and there was no small night drawer to lay things next to the bed. There were insects in my bed, probably because in front of the window. There is no inside common area after 5 pm, only the garden.

The part of the hostel is a beautiful, bright and colorful cafe where you can order breakfast or just have a coffee. It comes with a courtyard sitting too. :)

PolandAs I wasn't able to ate breakfast (due to my travel plans) stuff promised me that I will got refund via Booking. Unfortunately, I didn't get any refund and there is no contact with hostel (they do not answear to my messages).I would not have been disappointed if not a promise I got from stuff that I would receive a refund.
Nice location, close to city centre, restaurants etc. Super friendly stuff. Avaialable space for work, hanging out with people, nice atmosphere. Rooms were clean, bathroom was OK, hairdryer available. There is a kitchen where you can prepare your own meal if you would like (with fridge, microwave).

CanadaThe self check-in apps is good, but we arrived 1hour early ( 14h ) and couldn't enter the hostel because the code only work at 15h. We had to wait on the sidewalk because there was no employee. We also wanna ask about a transport to the airport but saw no employee all day long.

United StatesThe only thing was that there were these very tiny ants you can barely see how small they are, that I believe were coming in through the balcony and biting the wood leaving a little dust. It was not like an infestation, and I still felt “clean” in the room! The housekeeping swept them away, but I guess that’s my only “complaint”.
Good location, very kind staff, very helpful with any local recommendations to avoid tourist traps. I stayed in the single room with my own bathroom, and it was fabulous. I met several people in the common areas!
