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...).

United KingdomAlthough I had a private room I found it very expensive for a backpackers, baring in mind it was very noisy all the time (they do have 'quiet hours' but these were not adhered to). I was staying right over the kitchen so it was extra noisy. Minor note -they need new mugs/cups -I wanted to make a fruit tea but they only had stained plastic coffee cups which were minging.
Good location and lovely room. Nice guy on reception kindly lent me aloe vera when I got over done in the sun! Liked the quirky arty style of the place and it had decent kitchen facilities and they recycle. Good central areas to hangout and the shared showers and toilets were well looked after.

FranceNothing ! Rooms are a bit small but it didn’t matter to us. Also the only place we seen where you have to pay to refill your bottle but I guess it’s because the water is drinkable in the hostel.
We only slept one night but we liked the vibe of the place which is really relaxed, ideally located in the center of Hopkins and 100m from the beach. You can use the kitchen, bathroom and toilets are clean and the bed was comfy.

CanadaNone of the hostel's fault - the weather was tough for me, more or less constant rain, which makes solar showers a cold experience (but you're still in the Caribic, so, you know... ). Other than that, all good.
The dorm is small but sufficient, large locker drawers that easily fit all of my stuff. You get curtains on your bed for extra privacy, and power outlets and reading lamps and a little shelf to create your own cozy corner. The place is right off the main drag, and super close to the beach (as is everything in Hopkins). Very beautiful outside area, which includes the kitchen, and the staff is super nice and helpful. Recycling system set up gets extra points - the place is up for sale, if I had the cash, I'd buy it!

United KingdomThis is not a complaint just giving helpful information for future visitors. Cash is king here - not for the hostel - but everywhere else - and the atm didn't have any money in the 3 nights I stayed, so have a back up plan. There was not a huge variety of foods like fruits and veg at the supermarket, and check sell by dates, Some of the restaurants were closed as it was Oct and out of season. I wanted to snorkel but nothing avail out of season that I could find. I had a really nice stay here though and would totally recommend coming.
This was a great stop. Hopkins is a lovely spot, and it was quiet and traveller lite when I was there. The people who ran it were helpful and nice. Others guests were sociable. You could use the kitchen.It was clean and well equipped. My room/bed was very comfortable with a nice effective fan. Lovely beach a short walk away, sandy underfoot and like walking into a bath. Supermarkets,restaurants bus stop, veg and fruit shops, short walk away. I had a lovely meal at the Smokey Grill restaurant on the corner. Maybe even best meal of the trip so far.

- clean and quiet private room with 2 fans which was easily enough - great shared bathrooms with solar heated hot water - good kitchen facilities - cheap drinking water (or you can use the tap water, which is safe) - close to supermarkets and the main bus stop out of Hopkins (be aware that busses only come a couple of times a day!)

NetherlandsThe place is a bit rundown and could use some renovation. Although it wasn't a problem for me. There's only 1 stove with place for 2 pans so around dinnertime it's busy and you probably need to wait before you can cook.
Friendly and helpful owners who were very responsive when I mailed them. Information at the hostel of what to do in the area (hikes and waterfalls etc) and info about transportation to other places. Nice atmosphere. Cute little garden with hammocks. Almost right next to the busstop and ATM. Beds with curtains and small bedlights. (I liked it that they don't have a big light) Big storage drawers under the bed where you can leave and lock your big backpack. Communal kitchen with fridge and stove. Cheap bike rental by the hour. Beach nearby. Supermarket across the street.
