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.).

SwitzerlandThe breakfast was standard, corn cake and student cake could be added!
Hello dear Sandra, Jorge and Company. I received a very warm welcome from you and had a great time at Palace Beach Hostel, thank you very much. The hostel is perfectly located right next to the subway station and on a safe quiet street. The bed was as good as new and the room and toilet were very clean and had everything you need to feel comfortable. Can only recommend it and would go there again!

United KingdomThe only thing bad part is there’s no curtains on the top bunks, so no privacy and could be woken up from the lights.
All the staff were really helpful and friendly, a nice small hostel making it easy to talk to people, and good location about 10 minutes from the beach. It’s also right next to a metro station so lots of transport options. Had a decent buffet breakfast included, loved the individual toilet & showers, and good size lockers under the beds.

United KingdomOur room did not get cleaned for the full week we were there - not ideal when you have to through toilet paper in a bin. Also not many social activities in the hostel, although we didn’t expect this to be the case.
Safe location, helpful staff, decent breakfast. Stayed in private double room - had all amenities you would need.

United StatesMy only suggestions would be a bit more of a deep clean on the bathrooms-- they looked a bit dingy. Also, I had a hard time with the hot water being inconsistent, though I'm not sure if there is much that can be done about that!
The staff was the highlight of this place for sure! Gabi and Jorge especially went above and beyond to help whenever I had a question or needed anything at all. The beds were very clean and comfortable, the location perfect (quiet and convenient), and the common area quite cozy. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat!

Our room was clean and with street view. I would recommend to add two small side tables and lamps. There were no elevator to the upper floor, but with the help of their lovely staff, that was resolved 😀

GermanyWould be nice if the top beds had curtains too (but even so the beds were high enough for me to have some privacy up there :D), with six people it gets a bit crowded if people don't put their luggage in the boxes beneath the beds
Staff was very nice and helpful, nice breakfast (toast, bread, jam, cheese, ham, cereal, juice, fruits, milk, cake), each bed has its own light, socket and little storage place, shared toilets and showers for all the dorms on one floor but seemed to be enough (I never had to wait), everything was clean, location is close to Copacabana and Ipanema Beach, there's an entrance to a favela close by but I never felt unsafe throughout my stay and still went out alone for late dinner or sunrise

United StatesI felt like we were in Thailand or somewhere outside of Brazil as the place is white, modern and boring. We were watched in our every action, reminded of our 11am checkout as though we were intruding by enjoying our morning coffee. The kitchen has no stove and you are allowed to only boil water if you use the stove so basically you cant cook. Im uncertain why it says you have a kitchen as you really just have a fridge.
The people working here are extremely kind and helpful. Its right in front of the metro...
