How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Very comfortable place to stay, met interesting fellow travellers there. The kitchen and living room are fantastic areas to be and for a nice chat. Every day the staff asked how everything was and if everything was up to standard. Cheers Andre

Our stay at Sky PDL exceeded our expectations. We stayed in the private loft room which had a gorgeous view of the city and was next door to the terrace that had an extraordinary view of the ocean. Andre was incredibly helpful, attentive, and knowledgeable about the history of the Azores and local activities that catered to our interests. The included breakfast was also extensive for a hostel and was very convenient and appreciated. My partner and I have traveled extensively and stayed in various types of hostels but the facility and the staff at Sky PDL were the best by far. We highly recommend this hostel to any friends, family, or fellow travelers!

This has nothing to do with the hostel, just for anyone renting a car, be aware there is limited free parking in the area, & it can be challenging to find a spot.
Great staff, very helpful and accommodating, the hostel is brand new, very clean, & great atmosphere, beautiful views from the terrace. Shout out to the staff for their hospitality.

Everything was great, but maybe more hanging space for towels in the rooms. And a way to organise the fridge when it will be the full season :)
The whole building is beautiful. The open kitchen is great, makes you want to spend time there. Lots of area outside but I was very windy when I was there. In the summer time I would have like to eat outside and just enjoy the view on the balcony. The high ceilings, the elevator, there is even a dishwasher in the kitchen ! Joao and Andre were present and available to answer our questions, our needs and give advices on what to visit in the area. They even packed a « to-go » breakfast for me as I had and early flight 🙏

A mini fridge in the room was the only thing I felt we missed, and that's NBD.
The room was great, the bunk beds worked well for our kids. The breakfast was fantastic, rolls, local cheeses, good coffee. The guy running the place was super friendly, and they let us store our bags the day we left. For the price, this was one of the best places I've ever stayed.

The room was bright and clean, the bathroom was fabulous, and both were super spacious! The location is perfect, right in the centre of town. Loved the upstairs terrace perfect for a pre-dinner drink, and the patio for breakfast outside. The fact that this was the owner's grandmother's house, that he has refurbished impecably well just adds to the charm of it. Owner and staff are really friendly and helpful. We had a 4am wake up for an early flight and they left us out some breakfast to take with us. All on all, a superior experience and amazing valie for money! Highly recommend it!

The weird smell of the new furnitures in the room felt a bit suffocating on entering!
So glad to have chosen sky pdl to spend 4 days at Ponta Delgada! This hostel is newly opened and is perfectly located at the centre. It’s so luxurious in terms of a hostel honestly. The staffs were super friendly and the breakfast was equally impressive. Appreciate the decor and ambience of the place with a special mention to the breathtaking views of the vast stretch of the Atlantic right up the terrace. Definitely recommend to choose sky pdl without any hesitation to be sure to have your expectations exceeded in every possible way!

EXCELLENT ACCOMMODATION! It's very new and very clean, all the facilities are perfect, especially the equipped kitchen and balconies and rooftop with great views. The location is very good, in the city center. There's no problem parking the car in the free spaces near the accommodation. They have an elevator, so there is good accessibility. Air conditioning in the room, comfortable bed and large bathroom. Two things stand out: the breakfast is fantastic and the people are very friendly, human and attentive. The atmosphere is totally friendly. João and André were very special to me during my stay in São Miguel! It was my third time in the Azores and this time I spent 10 days here. I highly recommend this accommodation! Grade 10 out of 10!

Very accommodating and seamless check-in process! Joao and Andre were both wonderful hosts and made sure everything was taken care of. Any question I had they answered and were able to accommodate and it made it quite a comfortable stay. 10/10 would stay here again and recommend to those visiting the Azores! Sky PDL is a new hostel in Ponta Delgada and I will not be surprised if soon they are a popular destination to stay.

The beds are right next to each other with a curtain separating people. I had a guy snoring next to me. It was really hard to sleep. I wouldn't turn for that reason. Why not put up something solid to separate the beds?
The staff were the best part. They were really helpful.
