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.).

United StatesIt is far from the nearest street and up a hundred stairs. In the high summer, which is when we were there, it is an expedition into overheating to go in an out. If you have big lugguage like we do, Then you must get creative and a little lucky. They will help you, but you must have a phone and contact worked out.
The ambiance at the hotel was excellent. The attention and care were also very fine. The deck and the view made it into an unforgetable stay.

United KingdomIt would have been great to have towels.
The view was incredible but the hospitality I received was what was so special about this place. Nevinia welcomed me with a hug the morning after my stay and helped me organise my transfer to Isla Grande. As a solo traveller on my first day of my trip I couldn’t have wished for better ☺️

United StatesIf I have a chance go to Rio, I will like it to search another location and hotel.
The view is perfect . The room is not soundproof at all. Every time someone walks up and down the stairs and passes by the window, the people inside can hear it. At night, guests talk loudly and watch TV outside the living room until 3 am. There is no hot water in the shower room, so I had to boil water to take a shower. It was really an unforgettable experience. The thin white transparent curtains can't block any light at all. At night, the lights from the corridor outside shine in, as bright as day, making it difficult to fall asleep. After checking in, I found that you need to give you an additional 20 Brazilian reals for a thin small bath towel. The unused soap and bath towels are not allowed to be refunded. It is really unexpected and weird.

United Kingdomtakes a while to travel anywhere from the hostel. the en-suites kept clogging because people were flushing paper, but they never put up a sign to stop people doing this, and the rooms started to smell. there weren’t enough lockers for everybody. the kitchen was not well stocked (no sharp knives, only tiny plates and no bowls). was more expensive than I normally pay, but maybe because it was carnival
very peaceful and quiet. amazing terrace with beautiful views.

United StatesIt's not good location for Uber. Difficult to find luckily a kid was walking around the neighborhood and I asked him where it was and he walked me up there. Lots of stairs to walk up and down (like 7/8 flights) including the steps inside the house. When I checked out I had to walk down to the nearest hotel with my heavy backpack on to catch an Uber. Very inconvenient but other than that it's was nice
Beautiful place, decently comfortable beds for a hostel, hot water

United KingdomI think it would be a good addition to the hostel to add a breakfast as we didn’t want to travel into the favela and the location is a little out of the way. we also thought we shouldn’t need to pay to rent towel’s as we rented the suite. apart from this it was awesome.
The views and the Hostel were awesome even from our room. They had a clean kitchen to cook from on the veranda and I t was good value for money. Even though the rain came in the lady was so helpful to me and my wife in finding food to be delivered. I also left my passport at the property and they contacted me and were very kind and helpful in returning it.
