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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

FranceVery noisy as the rooms are facing the hostel bar, which is the "party bar" in town. Even when the bar does close, very poor soundproofing.
Great outdoor space, perfect to have a chat in the sun, exercise or even have some privacy.

The beds and blankets were so comfortable - so good after a long day, really quiet although it's close to their club & also a great party place. Activities every night I did the kgari tour with them which was also really good and organized

United KingdomOur room (number 1) picked up noise from outside really badly so it was loud until around 2am with people talking and music. Due the how the shower are and bathroom were made with mesh grills to allow steam out you couldn’t shut a window to dampen the noise.
The private room was great, really spacious and it was nice that the shower was separate from the bathroom. Also having a tv that had the ability to log into Netflix or Prime was really nice. The outside shared areas were great and spacious and it never felt “full”. Location was fantastic and a quick 5 minute walk from the greyhound bus. Everything was spotlessly clean in our room and bathroom and we REALLY appreciated having 2 pillows each for the double bed (a rarity in hostels we’ve found).

NamibiaStaff were indifferent, cleaning staff always wearing airpods and disengaged from their surroundings, no-one greeted automatically or smiled. Receptionist on check in could not understand me, she said she was German and English was her 2nd language, I own a hostel and 80% of our guests are foreign with English as there 2nd language, and I have not had that issue with anyone else. Perhaps you should screen your backpacker staff a little better (I am Australian by the way and English is my 1st language). Lack of any signage (except what was happening each night in the bar) was a negative. We found the kitchen on day 2, on disco bingo night we were on the deck waiting for the bar door to open, no signs indicating that entry was only from front door. Staff also did not mention this at all, just assuming that we knew this, was irritating to see people were inside and back bar door not opening. Guests drinking from their vehicle late at night, no glass in windows of the rooms, having to listen to lame drinking stories from 18 year old males and the sound of the sliding door of their vehicle opening and closing each time they had a drink was annoying at midnight. Security could be better to ensure this did not happen. No obvious sign of Management, only backpacker staff.
The room was spacious and clean, showers were hot, liked the fact that there was a fridge and tea/coffee facilities. Also towels and soap etc were provided, but this was not mentioned when we booked. Well located from the small shopping street with restaurants etc. Good walking distance to Noosa main beach and facilities. Communal kitchen was spacious and I thought very clean considering the number of people using it, cutlery and crockery was ample and well set out.

United KingdomThe WiFi is shocking, especially in the dorm rooms on the bar/restaurant side, unusable it cuts off every 5 mins. But on the reception side in the private quadruple room the WiFi was much better, WiFi is not good in Noosa in general bear in mind
We stayed in the dormitory room and private quadruple room. The dorm was very nice, lockers, and air conditioning, and a big fan. We got a bit cold as couldn’t turn the air con off didn’t have a remote. Dorms are fine and much nicer than others I have stayed in. Cool vibe in the hostel, great pool, volleyball net, and a restaurant for burgers and a bar.!! Had shops a walk away. Beach there is a free Noosa bus on weekends and holidays to the main beach, or you have to walk. Quadruple private room was sooo nice and had a fridge, nice shower, everything. Nomads Noosa is a budget accommodation. It is a party hostel but the noise didn’t bother us

United KingdomThe staff are strange, patronise you as adults, telling you how to flush the chain and to stop the taps. A bit weird. Just rude as well, when I arrived the fan wasn’t working. The portable fan was rusty and dirty. The bathrooms were filthy and just didn’t feel clean. Surely the manager Andrew can afford air conditioning when he is charging £40 for a single bunkbed per night. Seems expensive, also the singles are like doubles so we as a couple could have easily shared a bed and paid half the amount
Amazing location and couple minute walk to the beach, beautiful

GermanyIt was soo expensive when we stayed there. We paid 60€ per night and I don't feel like this price was justified at all. It had everything it needed, but nothing more and I've stayed in far better hostels in Australia for half the price. It wasn't particularly clean, or had a lot of privacy or a really good location - nothing that would have justified the price to be honest.
The music they played in the eating area was good, and they had ensuite bathrooms and communal toilets as well.
