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 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.).

United KingdomBeds are a bit on the uncomfy side. I take it they want to keep things septic and clean. But you are basically sleeping on synthetic material and will start to sweat. THe mattress could have been a tad firmer.
For the price the location cant be faulted. The fact that the shared room has got its own bath and toilet is definitively a plus. Also, individual lights and charging sockets are handy. Excellent value for money.

United Kingdom1- They don't have a wardrobe which is not suitable for long trips. I think will be perfect if they put it in all rooms an will earn more money !! 2- They only have one kind of chips in the bar & don’t sell a lot of drinks & nothing special in there coffee I would not order it again 3- check out is too early 10:00 pm 4- they didn’t clarify all their policies to me like: I have to pay before 10 morning if would like to check out late. 5- breakfast is expensive. 6- double rooms has a TV but without a remote control, when I asked them for one they gave me a wrong one it wasn’t working 😅 7- they forgot to put a shampoo in my room.
1- In front of the beach ! 2- Beautiful & comfortable lobby with part has sofas the another tables & chairs in front of the bar & they have many games and kids corner. 3- They have a toilet in the ground floor 4- Very quiet place 5- Very nice staff especially the black man. Except the tall blonde woman 6- clean & not a very old building 7- amazing price! 8- have a bar and sells coffee 9- some rooms has a bath 🥰 10- you can check out late and pay 11.50 for it! 11- I liked their security system: nobody can enter the building after 8:00 pm without having the key.

United KingdomThe bathroom wasn't the cleanest - but I expect that from most hostels. Windows were quite thin, and there were loud clubs just outside - I would recommend taking some ear plugs just in case.
Location was good. Good value.

New ZealandFront desk is open 24hrs so my room had a group of drunk guys book beds at 2am. You have to make your own beds, so that was an impossible feat for them. Lights on and a lot of noise. I feel like small changes could be made to help ensure a better sleep for everyone.
It's got nice facilities and the beds are comfortable

United KingdomThe noise from the nightclub practically outside the window, open until 4am and which council have them petmission to have a smoking area outside in the street!!! Absolutely ruined the evening, a warning at check in so we had the opportunity to purchase ear plugs would have been great. Also the lights in bathroom go off themselves after a few minutes they were motion controlled a bit annoying but can understand why they have them, again a warning would be great as we thought there was something wrong at first 😂
Location is fabulous, staff helpful and friendly, room a great size, basic but fan and heater a lovely touch as was the towels left out for us, bed was surprisingly comfortable and bedding good quality. Bathroom was very good with a big deep bath and shower.
