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.).

GermanyMatrasses are made of plastic, I shared the dorm with a group of young Argentinians, who could have been a little bit more considerate (which, of course, the hostel is not to blame for)
Friendly place, well managed, clean, quiet, good Wi-Fi, air-con was working well (and wasn't noisy either), spacious 6-bed-dorm, little breakfast included. Close to Centro, the area is a little deserted, but well lit at night, I felt safe when walking there at night. It is a place I definitely consider to stay again when coming again to Rio.

ArgentinaBeautiful hostel and facilities, very clean and relaxing. They offer yoga and meditation classes that are the best you can experience. There is always a very relaxed atmosphere with background music that it is a pleasure to stay in their beautiful living room. Excellent predisposition of the staff and very good vibes from the guests and Marcus.

CanadaWhilst the location, the breakfast, the common room, even the added perks such as a yoga room and a reading room are all excellent features to make this hostel a great one, what really sets it out is the staff who are all without exception incredible and dedicated and oh so nice! They have become more than providers of a service to a customer but rather friends to me.

IrelandThe yoga classes were only on Mondays and Wednesdays
We stayed in this hostel for 4 nights during Carnival 2023. The host was very helpful and informative upon arrival. Security was excellent and we felt safe at all times. The hostel was quiet and peaceful despite carnival being on outside. Good breakfast and chilled common area. The dorms were large and had working WiFi and air-conditioning

HungaryThe breakfast could be a little bit richer, but these are details
The atmosphere is very unique, and it's exactly what you would expect from a hostel based on yoga and meditation philosophy. Clean and relaxed, a great way to disconnect from Rio (There was even some sort of Reiki music on the corridor). Top quality hygiene and cleaning. Been travelling for 5 months in South America, and this was my favourite place so far, highly recommended

SingaporeVERY DISAPPOINTING experience, bed was super UNCOMFORTABLE, without personal light and NO railings so it’s very DANGEROUS you might fall off esp if you’re on the very top. Reception closes by 12midnight. Breakfast was just 2 pieces of toast/cake/fruit/coffee compared to the other places like discovery and selina they are way behind. Was also charged a cancellation fee of R111 for a dorm room which they refused to waive partially at least since I already paid half (one night before). Owner says he needs to “take the money” because of the pandemic but like the pandemic is actually over. ps. there is also no yoga available as advertised on Fri & weekends. Wonder why it’s 9.3 rating very misleading! Location is also super far from the main beach like Copacabana/ Ipanema, wouldn’t recommend.
Did not enjoy it

GreeceIt is a relatively new hostel with great potentials to become excellent. However, the top beds (3-stuck) and the top lockers were very high which was not comfortable. The bathrooms could be cleaned more often, especially when the hostel is fully booked. Occasionally the wifi was weak at the room. The breakfast was quite basic and the same all the 4 days I stayed. The area was a bit dodgy at night, also staying at downtown Rio area means that you are relatively far from many of the important sights. Some parties took place at a building nearby for 2 nights so there was music all night long.
I stayed at the 6-bed female dorm. The staff was very friendly and I aplreciated that someone was always at the reception. Overall it is quiet and with nice vibes.
