Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

TurkeyThere is kitchen but it is really tiny. But if you stay only 1-2 nights, it’s okay.
Its location is just 2 blocks away from the main square of the historic center. We stayed in the private room so it was a good stay. The breakfast was really good, including some fruits as well.

United KingdomWifi in the dorms could be better but works well on the landing. It can be very noisy at night but things seem to calm down after 2300/midnight.
This was my second stay - definitely a better option in Salvador than many others. I would stay again.

United Kingdom2 of the toilets had no curtains facing the outside so it feels a bit exposed. Wifi wasn't reliable in the dorm but worked well on the landing.
This was the third hostel I tried in 24 hours and I was so glad to finally find a place with attentive staff, clean rooms and a great location. Don't be put off by the pictures of the dorms on here, the rooms are very clean and you get fresh linen at check-in. The female dorm with fan was great, beds were comfy and room was bright. There was a bit of an issue with where to put large suitcases/backpacks but otherwise it was great. There are secure lockers for valuables outside the room. I would definitely stay here again.

Nicaragua- noise outside the window (drumming scholl right across the street, practice literally beneath the window; leading up to christmas festivities in the main square with music til very late) - no real space to put the backpack other than a bit of floor - matresses are really layn thru, should get changed
- location right in the historic center - plentiful breakfast buffer style - plenty of sinks, toilets and showers

United KingdomNot really a sociable hostel at all as the only common area is the café, which is open to the public so no good for bonding with fellow travellers. Likewise, hostel events seemed to mostly be third party things for travellers to join. It was our main gripe during what we expected to be a very social carnival.
Really can't be this place's location in Pelourinho! For a base during carnival it couldn't be faulted. You're about a 20 min walk from a hairpin in the Campo Grande circuit and have the main Pelourinho stuff within seconds. Our private room faced inwards so was not subject to the noise that street-facing rooms would've had. It was spacious, cleaned partway through our stay and was on par with comfort expected from a hostel. The small deck above the café was a great spot to laze in the hammock and recharge before the evenings.

SpainAmazing location right in the beating heart of Pelourinho so there are always things to see and do super close by, you often wake up to the sound of drumming or capoeira. Worth staying there just for this.
