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.).

United KingdomA bit far from the center town so it’s advised to rent a 2 wheelers but there is a good pizza place nearby, and 10mn walk away you can have a nice meal on the beach at Curlie’s if you don’t mind the trance type music as a background).
Nice & peaceful room, useful storage space, good wifi, homely vibes. Located on the quieter side of Anjuna beach (near Anjuna flea market). Also enjoyed the little attention to details (they provide with filtered water and re-usable bottles and try to reduce plastic waste).

Amazing hostel good vibes and beautiful. Right next to the Wednesday flea market and the beach. Very clean and cosey dorms.

FranceI booked a double room, I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the service. The room is nicely decorated, spacious and clean. The equipment (air conditioning, hot water, kettle) works perfectly. There is coffee and biscuits available. The staff is very welcoming, and facilitates exchange with other guests of the hostel. The Indian breakfast is very good.

NetherlandsOnly less point was the fact that the cottage where we stayed was very sound sensitive, could hear the neighbours very very clearly.
Very nice atmosphere overall and Abishek really helped with good tips for what (not) to do etc.. we stayed in one of the cottages and it was very spacious, clean, cosy and comfortable. Location is very good as well, close to both the beach and the town. Also loved the possibility to refill drinking water!

GermanyThere are no curtains at the bed. I would love to see more storage space in the rooms or hooks for wet towels
The host Abi was super nice, he even took his time to go incense sticks shopping with me, send a list with things to do/ clubs/ food. He made the place very lovely with music and incense sticks in the morning & the nice conversations we had with the hostel people. The yard was super cozy and lovely. The guests were working there and in the evening we gathered to have a drink together. Good vibes. Very close to the beach and right next to the Anjuna Market.

IndiaThe room I stayed in had no natural light.
The best part of the property is that it's clean and well-maintained. There's a tranquil courtyard area you can sit at and either spend time on your own or speak to other people staying at the property. There was a pretty little tea-area outside the room which was a nice touch. The staff was proactive and helpful. They sent me an itinerary and important numbers a traveller might need. The property is only a few minutes walk from the Anjuna beach. The flea market is also close. A bonus flea-market on Wednesdays starts right at the hostel gates. They have a reasonably priced laundry service which could come handy for long stays.

GermanyIf I could I would give them more than 5 stars! This is without question one of the best hostels I have ever stayed at. The location is amazing, 2 minute walk right to the beach, also if you are staying there on a Wednesday the legendary Anjuna flea market is right there. We stayed in three different rooms, since we had to prolong our stay multiple times due to health issues. Each room has an individual touch, they are clean and the beds are very comfortable. We had the pleasure of meeting and spending a lot of time with the two owners Divya and Sandy. These two amazing people made our stay more than special. They took such good care of us that staying at their beautiful hostel felt like visiting friends. All other employees were fantastic as well and I can assure that anyone choosing to stay at craft hostels is going to feel happy and safe. Also worth mentioning, the food is fresh(!!) safe to eat for all non Indien travellers, and they have good WiFi.
