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.).

AustraliaShowers are rather rustic, no room to put these clothes in the shower cubicles… Too bad that kitchen closes at 9 p.m. It's a bit early...
Very warm welcome and the staff took the time to explain to us the operation and rules of the hostel. A beautiful location in the middle of nature full of wild animals!

IrelandIt's quite far from everything and not near mission beach at all. Walked to the nearest beach but it took about 30mins in the heat and you can't swim there. Food was good but you have no choice as there's no where nearby to eat or shop and it was a little expensive. Not enough plugs in the room for everyone to charge their phones
Really nice amongst nature, saw loads of wildlife there and it's very peaceful. Had food there and it was delicious, staff were nice. Bedrooms were a little cold but comfy. Good shuttle service to and from the greyhound but there is a charge

United KingdomI didn’t stay longer.
Staying here is like finding a hidden gem. Rob and his team should be so proud of what they have created. Rob takes time to welcome all guests with helpful information. It’s a beautiful retreat with many chill out areas. I love the music and ambience here. Comfy beds, lovely size pool / laundry are an added bonus. You will see young wallabies in the gardens. Really lovely cafe too with a licences bar. Frequent shuttle bus available to all. Thank you… Best hostel to date.

United KingdomAmazing hostel in the rainforest. Loved the cafe. Loved the pool. Loved the wallabies. If you don't have your own transport, you need to factor in an extra A$7 each way for the shuttle service to/from mission bay, provided by missionlink, but still exceptional value.

Beautiful location in the middle of the rainforest! Lovely pool area and that gets lots of sun. The bar/cafe area is done up nicely with a big terrace to sit out on and nice fresh food. I had a private double room which was really comfy, and the bathroom facilities were always clean and spacious. Not to mention the wildlife! Tame wallabies about AND cassowary’s. The staff work really hard and were always on hand - I even booked another night here. Lots of travellers come through here so it was easy to make friends. But it’s also a quiet and peaceful and didn’t ever feel like a party hostel. Mission beach is a cool place with some cooky bars and restaurants but you barely need to leave Jackaroo if you don’t want need to! A great base for travelling or a place to unwind.

United KingdomThere are limited power sockets in the rooms, with only four in a 6 bed dormitory; all of which are away from the beds. Unfortunately there is no furniture around the pool making the area uncomfortable, which was a shame. Communal areas were spacious, but general furnishing and decor was tired and due an upgrade. There was a mouse problem in the kitchen that didn’t seem to be resolved during my stay, with traps in place but without total success. Food left on the designated shelves were gnawed into by rodents which meant the affected goods needed to be disposed of and the remainder stored in the fridge. This was not a pleasant experience as a guest, especially in a food-preparation area.
A tranquil escape with a relaxing and laidback vibe. Good value for money and the staff are very helpful and sociable with guests. There are beautiful hand painted murals around the hostel which add a homely feel. Whilst the location is remote and the nearest supermarket is over an hours walk, there is a convenient local shuttle that can be arranged on-demand for a fair rate, or bicycles can be hired directly from the hostel (AUD30 per day during my visit).
