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 StatesThe hostel is not "beachfront," but located on a street near downtown called Catete. Air conditioning only at night. No lights nor curtains at the beds.
Very kind and helpful and accommodating staff always willing to be of assistance. The hostel is located on a commercial street for shopping and dining and near a metro station.

PortugalJust an amazing meeting place. If you're traveling alone, this is the perfect spot.
What really made a difference is the social environment here. It is the perfect place to meet locals and travellers and to discover Rio together. You have the feeling of being suddenly among friends. It is an open minded setting, a good reflexion of the general atmosphere you breath in Rio.

SpainThey wouldn't let me leave my luggage for a few hours. They were charging for guests leaving baggage after checkout which is not a common thing and is very inconvenient. The hostel was difficult to find because there is no name outside the door. Would be helpful to put up something by the entrance for guests to see. The lower bunk bed doesn't have a lot of space between that and the top bunk.
They had filtered water and a kitchen for cooking and many different staff there to help.

GermanyThe bathrooms are on another level as the sleeping quarters which is a bit annoying.
The personnel was just great. The owner and especially Roberto and Estevan did a splendid job in attending to my and the other guests' every need. Also, since the hostel is quite small and because there is a common room for socializing, you get very familiar with the other guests rather quick. Also, the rooms come with air conditioning which makes for a really comfortable stay.

United KingdomPlease be aware they charge RS 20 for early check in before 2pm or leaving luggage after check out while majority hostels offer storage for free. They also charge 4% for card payment. The shower needs improvement, maybe a new electric shower head as the temperature is not warm enough for winter months. All volunteers were nice except the night shifts person who was a bit rude and inconsiderate.
The hostel location has good transport links and it is easy to get around Rio while the house is reasonably quiet at night. The whole place including kitchen and bathroom is very clean. There is a female only bathroom. There are plenty restaurants and supermarkets nearby. The manager is friendly and helpful.

BrazilUnfortunately, there other hostels in the neighborhood with a lot of loud and fussy guests. It occurred to me they're mostly young foreigners who enjoy partying hard and come back home screaming and monkeying around past midnight/early in the morning .
The staff is quite friendly and ready to help the guests as soon as possible. The hostel is in pristine conditions with clean and tidy rooms.

Russiathere were some things that the kitchen lacked: like cut boards, big frying pans. as for the rooms, the beds are ok, but the low level is too low. there were no sockets for upper-beds. also usually hostels make personal lights for each bed, it's convenient in the evening not to disturb other guests. the main problem, I think, is the common sitting/dining room. It's far too small and there not enough seats/chairs/sofas. during our stay there were not many people, but there might be much more (considering the number of rooms and beds), so I can't imagine how they all will eat and relax there.
the manager/owner is a great guy. It's a new hostel, so there are many things to do there, but he is very helpful and trying hard to compensate some problematic moments. He is always available online. In general we had all we needed: a kettle, pans, a cooker, multi-cooker, a fridge. The location is fantastic, we really enjoyed the neighbourhood, I'd highly recommend it, much better than Copacabana, good shops nearby, quite safe and very close to the metro station.

IranI felt like I am in a home with good and kind hosts, they really care about the people and try to manage everything in a good and comfort way. Albeit the hostel is very new but I could see their everyday effort for making it better. I had good time there. And the location is good near to the metro station and bus stop.
