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.).

CroatiaThere is nothing not to like!
I loved the central location of this alburgue. The facilities were good, beds had privacy curtains, socket for charging phone and light. Sheets were provided. The place was spotlessly clean. There was a nice back garden to relax in and laundry facilities available. The detergent for the washing machine is complimentary. I highly recommend this place and will definately stay again when next in Santiago.

United StatesWoman’s bathroom was on the 1st floor and featured timed showers: you have to push a button to turn on the water. The left shower’s water lasted 2 seconds before needing to push the bottom again. The right shower’s water lasted 22 seconds. This was the only hostel we stayed at with timed showers. Not a fan. We opted not to even attempt to wash our hair. If you were a different gender, you had to go to a different floor to use the bathroom; we were lucky. The larger dorm room looking out over the garden was dubbed “The Hotbox” by its assigned guests. We stayed on 4 June 2024, and that room was an oven. People sat on the floor in front of a huge fan, and kept the door open all night, despite the blindingly bright hall light. We left our room’s door and windows wide open to help them with a bit of a cross-breeze. I don’t know how they got any sleep, tho.
Fantastic location. Our 4-person room was great, with comfy bunks that included personal lights, outlets, shelves and privacy curtains. Very nice lobby; beautiful garden, decent kitchen. All very clean. The staff were exceptional.

The accommodation is close to the Pilgrimage Office and the Cathedral. There is a laundromat on the corner. It is convenient to go in and out at night with a key card. Unfortunately, the toilet and bathroom are in a narrow location. The common space downstairs is spacious and there is a small outdoor garden. There is a self-service food vending machine.

FinlandMy locker didn't work so I got another bed and locker. When I returned to room from my dinner someone was sleeping in my bed. I had to use the original bed which was the only one without curtains. There was a blurred glass wall near my bed that got through a lamp light. Water from the shower came out only 1 s/press so you had to press it all the time with one hand.
Hostel was very close to the cathedral, pilgrimage's office and activities. It was easy to access and had shower next to my room.

United KingdomThe bathrooms are very far if you are not on the right floor. There is only one bathroom on every floor and it is either female or male. So if your room is on the 1st floor you have to go to the 2nd floor every time you need a bathroom.
The location can't be better - it is 100 meters away from the Cathedral. Very clean and nice Albergue with comfortable beds and an excellent garden and common area.
