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.).

GermanyBed linen and sheets were full of hair. The bed could need a good clean.
Great location, laid back vibe, included breakfast with waffles. Team is friendly. Dorms are small, lockers even smaller, but absolutely enough since we only staid for 1 night.

I liked that there was music all day but that it was quiet at night. Cool social area with a hammock and books. Showers were clean and the water was ok. Grocery store across the street.

United StatesSee above
Everything was well managed & all of the guests were courteous & considerate. I did comment at the front desk to get a fly trap for the outdoor common areas. The flies were irritating. Airplanes flying over every 90 seconds were somewhat annoying. Close to the beach. Lots of bars & food vendors nearby

United StatesNothing! I loved everything about it. Especially how helpful the staff is.
The facilities were excellent! Very clean, well appointed. Really cool patio to hang out in and meet other guests. The staff was amazing...above and beyond helpful. The location cannot be beat. It's literally steps to everything, so you don't need a car if you are just staying in the area. The free coffee and light breakfast was much appreciated as fuel for all the hiking I did. The room was sufficiently large. The bed was comfortable, and I really appreciated that they provided bedding. Already looking forward to my next time there.

United StatesI heard the curtain is in progress so that's great news! The only thing is, if the fan in the room could be more quiet that would be amazing.
Awesome hostel! Friends are super friendly and helpful. I especially appreciate the help from Kathleen, Mark, Erik etc. The hostel is clean and has both shared and private restrooms. The common area is cool and great place to socialize. I especially like the patio area. The breakfast is light but does the trick--there're waffles, oatmeal, hot coffee, oranges and energy bar. I only need the energy bar and a sip of coffee before heading off to surf so it's perfect. Will definitely be back!
