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...).

ChileBecause of the dog, the day I stayed in the common areas, a lot of fleas bites me :(
It was a good place, near the pier so when you arrive can just walk until there. The rooms were really clean, and the AC worked perfectly, but they turned off between 12 to 5 (it is a small island, so they try to save energy and water as much as they can). You can order delicious food, and there is a pool table and some games. There are some dogs, and one of them barks kind of scary but don't bite. They have hot water, but most of the time, it is not really necessary

IrelandIt’s quite buggy in the outdoor common space, we were there in monsoon season so the rain made the bugs worse. Make sure to use repellant! We had a dorm room that was accessed through the main area. At night there’s a swing door on the side of the property to get in; and with no lock on the dorm room door, it means basically anyone can come in. Backpackers are generally lovely people and this didn’t worry me personally, but just be aware.
The owners and all the staff are so so lovely, super welcoming and happy to chat and give recommendations for whatever you’re looking for! The rooms are cleaned daily, it does get quite dusty in the rooms, but again, totally manageable. I was on a top bunk in a 9 dorm room so the bed bugs were quite noticeable for me, but I was super close to the ceiling, and I always have a liner with me while travelling so this didn’t bother me. Just something to be aware of. The bathrooms were adequately clean, good water pressure too. Overall anything bad about the property is minor, and completely overshadowed by how wonderful the owners and the people that stay there are!

United KingdomThere’s one dog that barks at everyone and can be a bit aggressive. Don’t really think it should be staying in the hostel but it never actually hit anyone, was more annoying than anything.
Receptionist was super friendly and helpful, especially as I extended a million times. Laundry service quick and easy. I stayed in the 9 bed dorm which is in its own building, a little dark but I didn’t mind it. Sometimes when it was full a bit of a queue for shower as there’s only one between 9, but if you’re desperate there are other ones to use in the main building. Nice garden area I used to practice yoga. Also the kitchen serves of the best pad thai I’ve ever had. Good prices too. And allowed me to store food for me to make my own breakfast. Chill but sociable and good price. Would stay here again.

United KingdomNo privacy in dooms could do with bed curtains or at least some hooks to hang clothes. Not allowed to bring in alcohol which is totally fair enough. However, the bar prices were the same as the bars on the beach, so there was no real incentive to socialise with other guests over a beer or five.
Great location, amazing staff, free pool table, funky art. Value for money. I would recommend & return.
