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.).

GermanyThe showers were a little dirty. In addition, on of the showers did only have hot water for about 1,5 minutes, after that there was just cold water.
The location in the middle of Mount Maunganui is very good! You’re at the beach in 8 minutes and there are many shops and cafes around the hostel. In addition, the outside eating area is nice as it can be covered and heated! In general, I liked the shared areas as they were cozy and comfortable.

GermanyKitchen was very small so I didn’t spend much time there, the crowd seemed to be into party hostel, lots of vaping despite the hostel being smoke and vape free. Lots of conversations I overheard were about drugs, so I guess if you’re looking for a party hostel, it’s good, but wasn’t what I was looking for.
Great location and lovely staff, cheap surf rental.

New ZealandExtremely loud in the rooms at night with the bars next to the backpackers and windows not very sound proof. Bathrooms were tidy but quite cramped and dark.
The four bedroom rooms were clean and tidy. Nice that there is two levels to the backpackers. Very good location and close to the beach. Communal areas were small but clean and there was a nice vibe.

United KingdomRooms were a bit tight. If you’re on a top bunk then there isn’t a lot of headroom. Usually a queue for showers in the morning but that’s because everyone is up early to get out and about. Although the hostel has “quiet time” from 10/11pm it is close to bars/clubs who do not have the same rule so getting a quiet early night isn’t a thing
The staff and the general vibe of the place is awesome. Very relaxed and social. It’s also the best location for getting out during the day and at night.
