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.).

CanadaStayed one night as my other hostel was booked. Staff were great. Value for money was poor compared to hostel in front which is way nicer and much cheaper
Staff were kind and helpful.

United StatesThere was very little not to like.
The Drift Inn exceeded my expectations! This was my very first stay at a hostel & I wasn't sure I'd enjoy it. However, from check-in to check out, the customer service, amenities, and general support were all above bar. The hostel is discreetly secured and pleasantly comfortable. I truly enjoyed my stay!

United StatesWas all good
Drift inn property was sick! Overall a wonderful stay. About a 5-7 minute walk on the beach from the water taxi. Super easy and accessible and pretty much directly on the beach. Their “partnership” with the sandbar offers good opportunity to drink/eat freely without moving around much, especially if it is raining. The first night I arrived the owner of the hostel connected me up with a great group of people to hang around with and was also able to provide sooo many amazing opportunities for various different activities on the island, whether it was diving/snorkeling, exploring around or eating. Best host Iv had in my travels thus far :) wonderful gal beautiful person. The rest of the staff were fantastic as well. The other receptionists and cleaning staff went above and beyond to help out with whatever you needed, whether it was laundry, directions, food, tours whatever. Such fun people to hang around and chat with. Wonderful energy overall and location was top tier. Cleanliness was never an issue, nor did I have any other problems throughout my stay at this location ( little over 2 weeks). Drift inn does a great job in making you feel at home. Thank y’all so much for having me, stoked to have stumbled across this little pad. Looking forward to seeing the place again sometime down the line. Until next time, cheers and much love!!

very good location, quite in the night & very close to the ferry station. Rooms very spacious and very clean (cleaning every day). In addition the staff was super nice and very friendly. It‘s one of the only teo hotels/hostels on the island offering dormitories, so it‘s a good bargain for what you get. ☺️

CanadaSomebody needs to eat the roosters next door. ;) Would be nice to have a sink in the room with the toilet in the dorm room to wash your hands.
The Drift Inn is right behind the Sandbar which is right on the beach and the Palapas bar. The location is amazing. It's right in town yet the dorm room I stayed in was quiet. The dock to the south of the Palapas bar is a great place to watch the sunrise, swim from and even snorkel from. I saw eagle rays there several mornings and once even dolphins. The dorm beds each has their own light, an electrical outlet and have curtains around them which gives you excellent privacy. I was there 9 nights and most of the time the other guests were exceptionally considerate. Staff is friendly and incredibly helpful. They arrange tours every day, can arrange for golf carts, rent bikes and are a great source for local information. Coffee is ready every morning by 6:30-7 am. The kitchen is a great place to meet people and gather while eating the food you prepare yourself. There's a tiny pool at the drift in and the one at the Sandbar is a really nice place to sit and relax. You can walk to a lot of great places to eat, make your own or eat at the Sandbar. Their food is delicious and reasonably priced.

Also walking distance to shops in town and to diving and snorkelling tour operators. Large comfortable room with aircon and fan. Highly recommended. All the staff were friendly and helpful.
