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 and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

GermanyThere is free tea and coffee. Would It have loved a breakfast? Well, they have even a kitchen. Still, I would have loved a breakfast.
This place is unique, an oasis in a quiet part of town. It feels like a spiritual retreat, beautiful decorated with buddhas, and water fountains, plants. It radiates peace and calm and the staff is super kind.

The staff was very friendly, and whenever we asked for something such as a hairdryer, hanger and extra blanket, they were able to help us right away. The hostel looks super cute, and we loved having our coffee on the beautiful balcony. Location is nice and convenient, walking distance from the famous Batman Alley and close to the metro and supermarkets. I would be happy to return!:)

United StatesNothing! It's a wonderful place.
I really love this place. It's only a 5 minutes walk to a metro station so it's easy to get around the city.. The neighborhood is very safe. The indoor and outdoor common areas are nicely designed with plants and Buddha statues. It's a perfect place to relax after busy days in the city. The shared toilets and showers were always clean. It's the kind of relaxing place for adults, not young partiers. They have a common refrigerator and microwave, as well as free drinking water to refill your bottle or tea. The staff is friendly and helpful.. You can also walk to Pinheiros and Batman street art from here.

United StatesHot water pressure can be improved.
We have stayed in Sao Paulo in 3 different budget options, and this one is by far our favorite. The hostel is gorgeous and has a chill social vibe, great patio and common areas to hangout in, and very kind staff. Shared bathrooms were always clean, and always available. Location is great - a short walk to subway station, thrift stores, bars and restaurants.

PhilippinesTo be totally upfront, I booked a hotel in Avenida Paulista but I changed my mind when I saw the reviews about Zen Hostel. I immediately cancelled my 1st hotel and booked this amazing and peaceful Hostel. I didn’t regret at all when I saw the surroundings that it gives me a Bali vibes. Shoutout to Caina which gave a me a good impression about the facility. The receptionist was so friendly,smart, helpful,and he will really give you an extra mile when needed. I will definitely comeback for a lot of times here. I miss the smell of my room and the smell of the lush green environment. And it was a plus that I met a lot friends from France, Germany and locals from Brazil. I must say I left my heart there. Highhllyyyy recommmmendedddd guyyyssss 1000000/100. -John , a travelling nurse .
