Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

SwedenThe bathroom weren’t so nice,and not always clean and the bed was uncomfortable. The mattress was too thin so when you were laying down you could feel the wood underneath. And that you were allowed to use the air conditioner only in the night until 9am and sometimes it was very warm

United KingdomBreakfast should just be included and the price per night raised to reflect this. I didn’t book a room that included breakfast so it felt a little awkward in the morning when I went up to make my own breakfast and a buffet was laid out, with staff cooking. I didn’t feel like I could be there, so just something to consider.
It was a very pretty old house that had been converted into rooms. It had a nice big kitchen on the top floor and the whole place was clean. Also the staff were very friendly and let me check in a little early after waiting because the room was ready which was nice after a long bus journey.

ItalyThe staff was loud in the early morning by the breakfast and watching TV the whole day. They were eating stinky fried garlic in the evening and behaving as if they were the actual guests, more than workers. Some of them smoke marijuana too.The dog was aggressive to my wife and shitting in front of our door. We felt generally really less welcomed, as if we were unwanted guest in someone's house. Breakfast was poorly served too. The bathroom wasn't clean, and the shower was cold. Never going back.
Charming colonial building with private parking place, location very near to Barra beach.

Loved this hostel. It’s more like a shared home than a hostel. Lovely, friendly diverse cosmopolitan people - both the staff/volunteers and the guests, nice spaces and rooms and super queer-friendly! Definitely a social place without being a “party hostel”.

BrazilNothing to declare, I really enjoyed my stay.
This hostel is just amazing! Not only members of staff are very friendly, they are also very knowledgeable of Salvador and helped me to make the most of my stay. Breakfast was delicious, the hostel is cosy, it's extremely clean, and it's a five-minute walk to Porto da Barra beach. It's so easy to get to the centre of Salvador by bus and very cheap to get an uber.

IsraelThe people there are not welcoming at all. When I arrived at the place I felt as if I had come to them against their will. During the day they shout and get angry at each other and the employees. It's not really clear how a place like this gets a score above 9. I had to be around, and this is the hostel that was the closest and highly rated. Unfortunately I found myself in a place with strange people. I slept in where there volunteers sleeping, together with the volunteers and local workers. Unfortunately there was a horrible weird volunteer of theirs , who when he was alone with me closed the door, bothering me. I won't say how. Superestimado, lugar terrível com vibrações de pessoas zangadas, sem atmosfera. They don't speak English there at all. The place is on a main road with traffic and construction noises. The only normal people there were - 1 Brazilian women volunteer, and a guy from Argentina.
