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.).

CanadaOnly thing in the room was a bed. Got a plastic chair from the lobby to put my bag on. A small table or even a shelf in the room would have been great to help sort through clothes and gear. Shared washrooms were not really maintained. Floors and countertops were constantly wet. People just don’t know how to clean up after themselves.
Convent location. Great restaurant on site.

SwitzerlandThe showers are very basic in a common bathroom but did their job. Sadly there is no kitchen for the guests to use.
Booked a single room for two, it was clean and had a ceiling fan which saved our live. The included breakfast in the morning is very tasty and consists of gallo pinto, pancakes, fresh fruit and coffee.

BulgariaThe bathroom for the private rooms was shared with the whole hostel and the water is cold for showering. The room could be cleaner and the ventilator needs adjustments.
The hostel is 3 min walk from the beach and 5 min walk from the Manuel Antonio national park's entrance. The food in the restaurant is great for people travelling on budget and delicious. The breakfast was very delicious and a mix of 2 dishes and lots of good coffee. Staff is very kind and helpful

CanadaThe room we got had a tiny little fan. Not nearly enough to tide throught the terrible heat. We had to pay double for an AC room. I don't think overall it was great value for money considering tiny shared bathrooms and showers.
Location. Walking from the beach and entrance to the park. Staff was very helpful and warm. Restaurant within the property is a well known, well rated spot. The food is reasonably priced too and whatever we tried was pretty good.

United KingdomIf you can, ask for one of the upstairs rooms. They are surely cooler than the extremely hot downstairs room that we got which saves the courtyard and has no airflow. The shared bathroom wasn’t very clean.
Fantastic location, really friendly and helpful staff, great breakfast.

SpainIt's important to note that the rooms do not come with air conditioning, which might lead to some warmth during the night due to the high temperatures. However, there is one room with air conditioning available at an additional cost. I think the beds need to be changed, they are not the most comfy. There are no hairdryers available.
This is an ideal accommodation choice for those planning to visit the beach and Manuel Antonio Park. Its proximity to bars, a supermarket, and the delicious breakfast makes it even more appealing. I must emphasize the hospitality of Mr. Oscar, the owner. Thanks to him, I extended my stay for a couple of nights at a reasonable price, and he was incredibly kind. Even you do the check out and want to go to the beach you can use the toilet facilities and keep your stuff at the reception.

CanadaWe did not have easy access to a fridge but staff placed our leftovers into the kitchen fridge for us (this would not have worked had we had more than one small container). No parking but a man up the road allowed us to use his yard - this would not be guaranteed so if you have a car, this might prove to be a problem.
Staff were very friendly and helpful, and the breakfast (included) was delicious and a very generous portion. The location was close to the beach and to Manuel Antonio National Park, and felt very safe. Beds were firm and comfortable and the fan on the ceiling kept the room air circulating so it was comfortable to sleep (no air conditioning).

Hostel has also a restaurant in case for lunch and dinner or drinks. Rooms are very basic. And there's fan not AC. For me it wasn't a big deal.

New ZealandBe sure to book a room with air conditioning. We were staying in a room only with a fan and it was crazy hot. Also, try to arrange your pickup or activities no earlier than 7:30am, because the breakfast is starting at 7:00am, no earlier! This Hostel has the tiniest toilets and showerrooms I have ever seen! Sometimes you need to leave the toilet door open, so that you can fit on the toilet. But as long as you expect something basic, small but still with a nice atmosphere, you are at the right place!
The staff was really nice and the food in the restaurant was really good! I liked the decor. Delicious breakfast!
