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.).

We were recommended several local and authentic Portuguese restaurants, all of which were wonderful. We also went on an informative and enjoyable walking tour of the city, provided by the hostel. The staff were also incredibly kind and friendly. Sangria hour also provided an excellent opportunity to make friends.

Costa RicaOne of the guys who clean the kitchen was extremely rude about closing it at 11 am when I was finishing to cook some eggs. I understand the rules but he could have been a bit flexible understanding that I was going to finish in a couple of minutes. The kind of person should not be working facing clients knowing he has no basic human treatment or empathy.

United StatesYou are provided one hand towel and one large towel for the duration of your stay. If you want an additional towel, you provide 5 euros and upon its return you can have 4 euros back. This isn't a huge issue, as I'm sure it helps to keep the towels from dissapearing, but i'd prefer to have two towels to begin with and start that policy with a third towel.
The location cannot be beat. In the heart of old town Porto! I enjoyed the vibe of the Hostel which was up late, hanging out. I appreciated the different services they offered like a free tour at 10am, and Sangria at night, etc. We booked a private room for our party of four. We had a very large bathroom and shower that was modern. The showers were warm and everything worked beautifully. The AC worked well, but the evening air was better, so we slept with the windows open. We had bunk beds and two twin beds, so someone had to climb up onto the bunk, which wasn't an issue for us, but it could be for older folks. Be forewarned, if you want quiet smoke free environments and you do not want to sleep on the top bunk of a bunk bed, do not book this Hostel. It is a Hostel, not a hotel. It is cheaper for that very reason. I found the staff to be very friendly and accommodating. They were always willing to help us connect with interesting places to see, and understand public transportation options. There does seem to be some unsavory folks hanging around the general area of the Hostel at night. This is clearly why they have a code on the exterior doors to the Hostel, limiting only those staying in the Hostel to enter. One evening we came through the streets very late and we were looked at very carefully by some very questionable characters. Late at night I'd recommend approaching the Hostel from the side of the Church (going down to the Hostel) and not from the old streets (going up to the Hostel), especially if alone. They also have someone at the desk at all hours. I appreciated this level of security, but it is something that some may find slightly unsettling if they aren't expecting it. Uber's were wiling to come down to the street and pick us up at the Hostel front door, however, it always took them considerable time to back out of the narrow streets. I recommend picking up an Uber a block away on a major road.
