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.).

BulgariaWe had to wait 10-15 mins after check in time (we arrived exactly at 14:00 pm) for our room to be ready but it wasn't a big issue since we could rest in the garden and take our free drinks. The sandboard and buggy tour could have been better, I guess, the buggy seemed really old and our guide spoke very limited English but we had a ton of fun, saw the sunset and had the "roller coaster" experience which helped a lot with jet lag :D The street leading to the hostel was under heavy construction so we had to carry (in the air) our suitcases. We were really happy that we just had carry-on. Not the hotel's fault, of course, just have in mind if this continues. It's a short walk (100m) but can be hard.
This was our first night in Peru after 2 full travel days so when we arrived we were happy with our choice in the oasis. The room had everything we needed - comfy bed, private bathroom with shower and the most important - hot water. There was wifi although we used our esim service. Our room was on the second floor overlooking the lake and the sand dunes. It was clean which is hard to achieve considering the amount of sand around. The room temp was pleasant and we didn't use the provided fans. The hostel has a pool (we didn't use it so can't comment), a bar and a restaurant. They gave us a free drink each upon arrival which was a pleasant gesture, considering the outside temperature which was 32 degrees Celsius when we arrived (a lot cooler at night). The restaurant seemed to work all day and until late at the evening with some nice things on the menu, both local and international. We were there on Saturday so for dinner we had to wait more than an hour to be served. The kitchen and the drinks were nice. Of course it was loud until at least 23:00 pm but this is clearly stated and we were too tired to even mind it. We booked a sand boarding and buggy tour directly with the hotel and were happy with the service because it was easy. Perhaps there are more "luxurious" tours around but we were too tired to search. The price was reasonable and it was a good way to meet fellow travelers. What we enjoyed most in the hostel was the rooftop terrace where we spent most of our free time overlooking the dunes. Staff spoke some English and we could pay by card which was convenient. They booked a taxi for us back to Ica.

JamaicaThat I had to leave. lol you’ll love it there as long as you don’t go expecting a 5 star hotel
Absolutely fantastic experience! I had the dormitory that was shared with 5 other persons and they were clean and respectful of everyone and keeping the noise down after hours. Their buffet breakfast provides great options in the morning and I was amazed. The food was delicious, the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, and the surroundings were simply delightful and well kept. Can't wait to come back and stay again! The excursions are paid in cash. Some soles and some USD so keep that in mind when planning to book an excursion at the property

UruguayI had a good time at Banana's. The room was air-conditioned and the bed was comfortable. The bar/restaurant was pretty good and reasonably priced. I would just say the price I paid for my stay is a little high for a hostel.

Great location, stayed in a 4 bed dorm which was a great set up. Privacy curtain, light, shelf and plug. Bathroom was spacious and tucked in the corner. Lots of places to chill including the rooftop. Food was delicious and the staff behind the bar and desk were lovely. Breakfast starts early so you can still have something even if you go on the early Paracas tour.

Hostel has a nice vibe: welcoming social spaces and good music. They respect the quiet hours, which means you can still get a good sleep. I loved that the beds had curtains and several charging points. The bathrooms were clean with hot showers. The restaurant was really good and breakfast was a full continental buffet. The location is great, with access straight onto the dunes.
