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.).

NetherlandsI slept in a bunk-room and unfortunately both nights a very loud snoring-attack disturbed the nights. Not the hostels fault though ;-)
Lovely attentive staff, relaxed vibe around the common area. Each morning a cute breakfast ready to enjoy. Right next to the prettiest end and beach of the island. Perfect to wind down and relax.

HungaryThe matress was too soft for me. But my girlfriend found it comfortable.
First of all, the kindness of the stuff and the clean rooms. The view of the ocean was nice and our room faced to east so we could see the sunrise from our window. Also the location was perfect for us. It is far from the center but close to the beach and one of the best restaurants. Oh and the best part that they got two hammocks!! You must try them out!

GermanyI liked evening considering I was working some of the days. I rented a bike to get groceries. Be aware that everything is a bit further away such as supermarket and restaurants / beach bars. One lovely restaurant is close by so if you are looking for a remote and quiet place with lots of nature around, you will love this place. For people who look for more action and entertainment within walking distance you might be disappointed. You can rent bikes at the hostel though which I did as well.
Very relaxing week spent in Porto Santo. Close to a wonderful beach, quiet and empty surroundings great for long walks at the beach. Or reading a book in the hammocks. The sunrise from the tent was magical. You could hear the sound of the waves when you fall asleep and as soon as you wake up. This stay is all you need when you want to take it very slow and treat your body and soul. On top you had all the amenities you need such as a fridge, oven, fully equipped kitchen and ice cube machine. Everything was spotless clean at all times and most importantly the staff was helpful, friendly and more than willing to share stories about the island. 100% recommended!

PolandHowever the size of the room was much smaller than the 25m2 that was mentioned in the booking confirmation and we really didn't like that it was permitted to smoke on the shared terrace that was just next to all of our windows. The smoke was entering the room.
In general we liked the hostel.

NorwayCalm, relaxing and good vibes only. I spent a week here that I'll never forget. The staff is so friendly and warm. Facilities very good, and I dont feel like it missed anything. Also I was especially lucky with the group of people staying at the hostel. Safe to say this is a place to gain good memories, if youre not in a hurry. Solid 12/10 from me!

Abkhazia, GeorgiaI had an amazing time staying in Porto Santo Destination hostel! It was so calm and quiet, perfect space to wind down and especially during low season you get the ultimate perk of having basically no people at the beaches ;) Sofia the host was super friendly and helpful... couldn't have wished for a better place to stay. Nice kitchen and facilities! Just keep in mind that you have to do groceries etc in the centre, as there's only a small restaurant around (which is cheap and good though). And it's a different island than Madeira itself, not everyone may know this ;)

PortugalLike it or not, the hostel vibe can be slightly more “noisy” than a closed hotel. But it isn’t a negative factor as everyone was respecful and stopped the noise at a decent time.
The hotel is very clean with a beautiful terrasse with a sea view. The Staff was very nice and the surroundings are like paradise.

ItalyEverything was perfect. The welcome from Sophia and Nunu was outstanding; the hostel is well cared for in every detail, and the cleanliness is at the highest possible levels. You can rent e-bikes and bicycles, and book excursions. The beds in the dormitory are comfortable and equipped with curtains for a bit of privacy. The value for money is really excellent. The breakfast that you can book is great, very abundant and includes fruit, vegetables, cold cuts, cheese, bread, and sweets, as well as coffee and fruit juice. The island is magical and has a really ancient history. A perfect experience. Thank you, Sophia and Nunu, for everything.

We stayed for only one night (with my sister), arrived late, had a cider at the terrace of our room at sunset, watched the stars, loved the sound of the sea and had breakfast outside with lovely little lizards.
