Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

BelgiumLocated at the charming historic center, with a quiet courtyard full of plants to socialise and enjoy some reading/eating time. Had their tasty breakfast in the form of a personal buffet with freshly prepared staples: granola, yoghurt, fresh fruit, bread,… the barley pancakes are great too.

NetherlandsThe hostel is located near the center. The shared bathroom is a shared bathroom within your room which I prefer over a large shared bathroom. Also an airconditioned room is great.

DenmarkConsidering that the breakfast is not included, the room very small and very essential and no daily cleaning, the price was quite in the high end. But maybe the location, the increasing turism on the island and high request contribute to that.
Perfect location, cosy atmosphere, welcoming staff, clean room and nice to have a terrace.

GuernseyHighly recommend staying here. We stayed in a private room and it was beautiful, clean and spacious and also, very quiet at night so we slept peacefully! Great, central location on a quiet street. Also the breakfast was incredible. The best we had in Madeira and one of the best we've had anywhere!! We will definitely stay here again when we come back to Madeira! The staff were super friendly and helpful too. Thanks Jaca Hostel team for taking such good care of us!

Lovely little hostel in the centre of Funchal. We were only there for one night but felt the ace had a really nice vibe and the staff were very friendly. The patio was a very relaxing place to sit back at the end of the day. The room was clean and modern and comfortable. Thanks

FranceThe facilities are a bit narrow (kitchen, bathroom in the dorm) You can live your luggage only during the opening time of the Cafe (till 17.30)
Each dorm bed is equipped with a curtain which gives you a bit of privacy. The place is clean and cozy. You have an exterior terrace where you can eat or just chill. Automatic check-in is nice as well

GermanyThe lockers were small and there was no small night drawer to lay things next to the bed. There were insects in my bed, probably because in front of the window. There is no inside common area after 5 pm, only the garden.
Nice people, nice hostel, nice location.

The part of the hostel is a beautiful, bright and colorful cafe where you can order breakfast or just have a coffee. It comes with a courtyard sitting too. :)

PolandAs I wasn't able to ate breakfast (due to my travel plans) stuff promised me that I will got refund via Booking. Unfortunately, I didn't get any refund and there is no contact with hostel (they do not answear to my messages).I would not have been disappointed if not a promise I got from stuff that I would receive a refund.
Nice location, close to city centre, restaurants etc. Super friendly stuff. Avaialable space for work, hanging out with people, nice atmosphere. Rooms were clean, bathroom was OK, hairdryer available. There is a kitchen where you can prepare your own meal if you would like (with fridge, microwave).
