Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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...).

IrelandFirst and the most important one is the hygiene.The facility is very old and the room is not cleaned properly. The bathroom has an odor even just after cleaning. The worst thing is the room having misquotes and flyings. They dont have any equipment for dealing with misquotes and flyings. I was told by the staff to buy stuffs in the farmacy myself. Secondly is the noise. They leave the top window open all the time for fresh air so you will be woke up by motorcycles,trush-cleaning trucks and beach-partying. They dont have activity room or space so people will talk late kn the phone,eat and drink in the room.
Location. The sea is just right infront of it. You dont have to walk far for a nice sunrise or sunset

GermanyThe place is in desperate need of renovation. Reading light wasn’t working, bathroom is quite old and worn out, and the luggage storage room was open and unattended, so didn’t feel I left my suitcase in a safe place, but it was ok and nothing was lost. The rooms have no windows so kind of feels like you’re sleeping in a box, not good if you’re claustrophobic, and the walls are super thin, as I read in some other reviews, but people were polite and quiet during night hours.
location is great and so are the employees. Clean sheets, very simple check in and out. You can buy a -not too sturdy- lock for €3 for your locker during your stay. They have a nice little cafe where you can get a coffee and croissant breakfast for €4 and enjoy it by the sea. The place feels safe and is good value for money, because this is Barcelona at the end of the day, and you can’t find accommodation by the sea for this price. I would stay there again.

GermanyThe staff were rude at check-out accusing me of checking out too late. I paid for late checkout!! Another 2 staff members came in the room at 10am and woke me up, telling me to leave because I should be checked-out already. I had to argue that I paid to check out late and they finally agreed, once they looked at their paper properly. However, they had already woken me and then proceeded to clean the room and strip all the other beds, playing music, mopping the floors around me and spraying some very strong cleaning products which made it extremely uncomfortale to stay in the room as breathing was not easy. Terrible experience, especially when I pay to stay longer! Absolutely DO NOT pay extra to check-out later. Such a waste of money.
Super close to the beach. Best location!

United KingdomI didn't like the accommodation. The showers were antiquated and difficult to keep clean. In the 8 bed female dormitory where I was the shower water leaked into the washbasin area and left a dangerous slippery lake with wads of people ' s hair. The 6 female dormitory was better but they all need decent washrooms. The rooms were noisy.
I liked the staff very much. They were very friendly and helpful. Nothing was too for them. The location was excellent.

United States of AmericaCleanliness of bathrooms
The location is the best you can get for the money you pay. The bedding was clean. You need to have your own towel, slippers and toiletries. They don't offer them. If you want to have breakfast in the hostel you can get a cup of coffee and croissant for 7€. But there are lots of cafes nearby where you have better choice for less money. Important: the entrance to the hostel is hidden inside the cafe. But you can see the sign 'Hostel' on the left of entrance the cafe.

ItalyThe walls of the rooms are very thin and you hear everything from each room. The rooms don't have any windows but if you use just for sleeping is perfect. The huge problem is the reckless guests who don't have a minimum respect into staying in a hostel, by continuously making noise at any hour during the night and the people who snore a lot.
The staff was amazing and the location was perfect. Very nice to work remotely from the bar of the hostel.

CanadaThe installations (bunkbeds and bathrooms) were extremely basic. The bathroom lights made very loud noises which were bothersome to the people sleeping. My room had large holes in the wall through to the room next door so we could hear all their conversations and alarms, as if we were in thr same room. There is no kitchen, fridge or sink to use. No common area aside from the café/bar.
The staff were nice and helpful.

United KingdomNo windows in some rooms. Poor ventilation means some rooms with more travellers stink! The cleaning staff are particularly rude. If you’re on the bottom bunk, you’re guaranteed to have dirt on your bed from when cleaners clean top bunks. The tourist tax should just be added to the actual cost advertised as it seems deceptive. Basin in 8 bed dorm toilet was leaking which meant the bathroom floor was constantly wet and dirty. Had the most horrible iced coffee from restaurant. Honestly, was scared to eat from there as I wasn’t sure of the hygiene standards in the kitchen.
Location was excellent!!!!!!!!!!! Some staff were amazing but others short and rude. 24 hour reception was handy. Acceptable levels of noise at night.
