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'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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Some young people turned up on weekend and drank, partied and made noise.
Kitchen simple and easy to use. Hostel so close to beach. Chilled out Vibe, not the type of hostel for rowdy drinking and partying, they mostly go to Lloret de Mar. Clothes lines. Friendly staff. Area good for walks and trail running. On odd occassions most people showed some musical skill on the guitar or piano. Except me. Direct transport from Barcelona airport if you want to Tossa, also direct link back to airport every day(i think)

Stayed here during the low season where there were very few other guests so sadly didn't get the full social experience but was there with a friend so had a fantastic time nonetheless. It's obvious a huge effort has been made to make the hostel really clean, well designed and homely, the chillout area complete with a piano was very nice as well as the lovely roof terrace! Pablo was a fantastic and friendly host and helped us see things we'd be interested in. It was also very convenient that there was a large space indoors for storing bikes, as we were there as part of a 3 day cycling trip!

They said there was breakfast on the roof but there wasn’t any :( Probably because we went during off-season and there were like 5 people in the hostel haha
Very cozy hostel, walkable from most attractions in Tossa de Mar. Clean rooms. Fresh sheets were provided at check in.

The hot water only lasts about 3-4 minutes. But That's a minor detail for this price.
The hospitality showed by the owners Freddie and Pablo was absolutely out of this world. De location is excellent and the facilities unbeatable at this price point. 10/10 would recommend.

nothing :)
It was amazing! Just two minutes to the beach and not far from the castle! The rooms were super and also the kitchen was quite okay. Also the roof terrace was really nice with a good view. But the best was Pablo - he tried to make everything possible and always was so kind! Definetly will come back one day ☺️ And by the way: Tossa de Mar is a really nice spot to calm down - especially off-season.

In my opinion this is an hostel how it has to be! Just perfect. Pablo and the staff is really nice and tries to make your stay perfect. A good kitchen, living room and a terrace to meet together. At night Pablo organzises sometimes cheap and tasty dinners, its perfect to meet together. Also at the terrace is a bar to get good and cheap drinks. During the day the terrace is also good for working. Cheap laundry service is available as well. Location is perfect, close to everything. Go there, you will feel like home:)
