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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

SpainThe hostel was almost empty when I arrived so there was no social aspect. The rooms are a bit old and bathroom small but it is good value for money.
Good hostel to stay in Santa Teresa. Henrique e Cacaia are very nice and helpful. There is a very nice communal area.

United KingdomThe dorms can get warm during heatwaves and while Santa Teresa is great, it can be a little tricky getting to the city's more touristy spots so it's sometimes worth planning ahead
Cacai and Henrique go out of their way to make you feel welcome, keep safe and make the most of your time at the hostel. Breakfast is great and it's a really sociable hostel.

NorwayThe beds are quite uncomfortable and the bunks are unstable. Bathroom was located within the dorm room, so it felt very intimate to go to the bathroom. No aircon during 08-21, so it got incredibly warm during the day.
The owners are an amazing and caring married couple. They only speak Portuguese, but we managed well to communicate. Breakfast is very good and the common areas are nice to hang out in. They have filtered water. Close to Santa Theresa area.

FranceThe best hostel in Rio, by far. Top-notch bed, everything is quality. Henrique and Cacaia are amazing, turned their house into a discreet and quiet place. Great for families and those who prioritize health. Spacious kitchen, room with air conditioning and privacy. After 6 hostels, this one's the best.

They were very helpful to any questions I had, genuinely looked happy to see me and help me out, and have left a lasting impression on how we should be kind to others. I am now a better person because I have met them.

IsraelWas not easy to find with the taxi the first time I arrived (at night). Might be better to tell the driver to go to Santa Teresa movie theater and walk 10 meters from there...
Good location for exploring Santa Teresa. The couple who owns the place are super friendly and accommodating. Kitchen is nice for meeting people.

AustraliaCool neighbourood but far from some tourist attractions and Ubers don't like to take you at times because the area is difficult to navigate and throws off their GPS. The hostel doesn't have a sign out front so it was difficult to identify where the hosetl was and what door to go through. Doors to the room didn't lock properly
Big common area, friendly hosts.
