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 StatesI have no dislikes.
It's a clean and well kept hostel with a swimming pool. It's also right next to Maracanã Stadium where concertsThe staff is also super friendlyand sport events are held. There are also plenty of restaurants and grocery stores in the direct area. The hostel has a kitchen and all the other amenities necessary.

NorwayAll good. Just if you want to stay more in the centre closer to the more famous thing and central metro lines it’s not the best!
I was here during carnaval and it was a great place to have a “base”. A lot of space, good lockers, a lot of chill and common areas. It had restaurants and supermarkets super close. The staff was super nice and chill. Met many nice travelers to!!

BrazilI don't like the receptionist, lady. She's RACIST and very profiling. If you're a black lady going to this hostel, stay away from her. The most interesting thing is that she is BLACK as well 🤣. Very condescending rude and mean.
I like the receptionist guy, but I can't remember the name. He's an amazing host, and I pray he prospers. I felt at home and loved

Common space by the pool was a perfect place to relax and meet people! The best experience & most comfortable stay I've ever had in a hostel. Couldn't be happier & more thankful!

FranceI left eggs in the fridge and one of the volunteers, a male took two eggs from mine and left two reais inside. A surprise he decided the price of my eggs and the delivery for him 😂. I guess we all wish to have a fridge to buy from at our own rate. Joke aside. The place is practical but has some improvement to do, like marks on the ground and the overall experience in the shower. One of the shower doesn't deliver cold water. The kitchen is nice. The pool too. Give it a night and see if they buy your eggs from you too hahahhahahah The air conditioning is working around 30% and turns off alone. The rooms are packed with beds. I would define it as a nice place interested in your money first at a 70% rate which really good as they put forward your needs for 30%. It's a personal view but chose a good hostal reality.
The main receptionist is absolutely pro! The environment has a nice element thanks to him but...
