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.).

Chilethe mattress on my bed (209 i believe) was really worn out so it had a hole in the middle, my back hurt every morning. the manager is not always there and no one else is so if you need something you’ll have to wait a very long time. he also was always with a long face when i asked about anything
i liked the fact that they had common spaces for travelers to meet and a basic kitchen with a fridge

United KingdomThe bathrooms have lots of ants and mosquitoes, the bar is very loud til late so make sure you bring ear plugs. The bar doesn’t have any soft drinks you can only buy alcohol? A few old, weird people were staying in the hostel which made it a bit uncomfortable. Make sure you request a bottom bunk as the air con doesn’t reach the top bunks very well and all the mattresses dip SO bad in the middle, it was like sleeping on paper. Only had air con in the rooms so as soon as you step out to socialise/shower/go to the toilet it’s instantly boiling.
The curtains on the bed, super close to the beach. The staff are so friendly and always happy to help. Lots of cats to cuddle. The mattresses are wider than a normal single bed size.

United StatesMirrors inside the bathrooms would be nice. There are mirrors in the rooms and kitchen, but shaving in a common area is a little awkward.
Perfect hostel with amazing vibes. Beds were comfortable and private. There's also a bar attached that's one of the best on the island. Beach and night market are only a 5-10 minute walk away.

United StatesI had some minor plumbing issues with the bathroom by our room so you had to be on top of it. You know what I mean. But that wouldn't mind her and everything else is fine
Like the vibe, it's very much like a hostel. Should be a bunch of travelers hanging out talking. and the fact that they have a local bar there that everybody likes doesn't hurt. So expats come from all over the island to hang out... OH AND A BBALL COURT! AND KITTIES 😻

United StatesNot much! Not the properties fault at all but if i had to say something it would be the main road in town being a 1 way - not a big deal at all though
The place is really cool - laid out on an abandoned fair/amusement park (i believe) the atmosphere is so warm and welcoming and its easy to feel comfortable quickly and meet some great ppl in the process. The man who runs the place, June is one of the nicest ppl youll ever meet! My flight got delayed and I didnt get in until almost 3am and he stayed up waiting for me to make sure I made it/got checked in and settled. Thanks for everything June!

United KingdomI enjoyed my stay here and was thankful for June who organised 2 trips whilst I was there. Rooms were well equipped and the shower has hot water if you need it. You can refill you water bottles and there's boiling water on tap as well. I liked that I didn't have to worry about a key as the rooms had codes instead. I didn't find the bar to be too noisy when I went to bed early, i just put ear plugs in and had a great sleep. Pretty good location, not far from the main street and beach.

United StatesWe had a private room and the wifi didn’t reach so we had to go to the common room to use wifi. Also the shower didn’t get very warm, not a huge issue given the climate but may be to some.
I loved the location, walking distance to lots of good food and amenities. The place was very clean. The cats roaming in and out were also a plus.
