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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

BelgiumNoisy at night because of the bar/restaurant on the ground floor. The bathrooms should be renovated…
Really well located nearby the beach & good places to eat/drink in Leblon. The staff speaks English & is super friendly!

MexicoThe beds were those plastic covered mattresses, which I find SUPER uncomfortable, but it's a hostel and sometimes that's what you get. You also need to be buzzed in in order to enter. This was only an issue one time and I was trapped outside for about 15 minutes buzzing until another guest let me in. But I was there for 5 days and that only happened once.
The location is INCREDIBLE!!! I went to the beach everyday, honestly it was hard to NOT go to the beach. It is also very close to a cool restaurant that has live music on Saturdays. The staff is great and I would for sure go back!

BrazilThe Beds were not the best, especially on the top bunk climbing up was difficult especially when intoxicated, the kitchen space was also quite non-existent, also it was advertised that staff spoke English however only one person there spoke English so there was a bit of a language barrier at times. For example, i booked a hiking tour and the hostel booked a different one for me, partly my fault for not double checking but they also advertised the wrong hike to me in the first place.
The location of this hostel is its major selling point. Located maybe 100m from the beach its the perfect distance from Leblon, going the other direction there is also lots of restaurants, stores and quick and easy food options. I think the reason i liked this hostel were the people i met here and the location.

BrazilAt night the employee responsible to open the doors were sleeping and didn't open the doors, I needed to press the bell a lot of times like 4:30am because the front desk employee were sleeping.
The location is awesome, pretty close to the beach. The staffs were great too.

United Statesbut only the upstairs bathrooms had hot water that I could get to work. the mattresses were a bit thin.
Great Staff, One block away from Leblon Beach. 2nd best of 6 hostels I stayed at in LeBlon. Samantha was cute. Carlos was super helpful. Fridge, microwave, a place to dry my clothes. Bathrooms were good. Great Burger at Hell's Burgers in the Leblon Shopping Complex. The Hostel's restaurant was great too, and the discount made it the best option in the neighborhood. The filet de frango and file Mignon were outstanding. The biggest room was the best. Balcony right over the restaurant! good lockers, curtains, good space.

United StatesTerribly equipped kitchen: no pans, no can opener, no kettle, only one portable burner that won't stay on consistently. It seems dodgy that the AC is way too cold at night and blankets are rented.
Close to the beach, dorm beds all have outlets and privacy curtains, helpful staff.

United KingdomKitchen not very well equipped - only a microwave for preparing food, but fridge, coffee maker & crockery available. Our (private) room was not cleaned during our 4 night stay.
Large private room (twice the size of nearby I’m Hostel RJ!). A modern hostel in a great location in a beautiful and safe neighbourhood of Leblon - handy for the beach (1 block away) and many cafes, bars and restaurants. Friendly and welcoming staff on reception, nice atmosphere.

ArgentinaThe only problem was the showers, where hot water wasn’t the best. Water sometimes was cold. Also maintenance in terms of cleaning / toilet and hand paper reposition could be better. The kitchen is not the best. Good enough for breakfasts but not to cook.
The Hostel was good in so many terms. Location is perfect. The rooms were nice, the beds were as comfortable as a hostel bed can be so in general it was all good.
