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.).

The atmosphere and vibes of the workers/volunteers were great. The cheap sunset trips and boat tours are a good way to meet people and fun. Theres never a boring moment in the place. Air-conditioning in the room worked great! Loved every minute will be back very soon.

CanadaThe hostel is really great. No matter how many days you had planned staying in Ulcing, you'll want to stay longer. Koko is great, and so is the rest of the staff. They will explain everything there is to do in the area and organize things so that you get to meet people. The hostel is clean and has everything you need.

United KingdomLocation could've been better,quite a bit of a walk from the old town and the town and beach in general. Beds could've been a bit more comfortable and more space for you to put your things.
Amazing hostel! The staff and volunteers are so friendly and so helpful and really go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need. Lots of spaces to hang out and relax. The atmosphere was amazing, hostel organised activities such a boat trip, which was great fun, and they pick you up from the hostel. Also there is generally always some sort of organised activity happening in the evening for people to join in and you to have fun and get to know other travellers in the hostel, whether that's a quiz, a treasure hunt, a BBQ or going out for drinks. And ofc the best part, the dog: Johnny Barker!

United KingdomKoko is an exceptional person who cares so much about making his guests happy. Everything is set up for your convenience, comfort and enjoyment. Lots of big common areas to chill out, exchange information and stories and feel at home away from home. The volunteers are always on hand to answer any questions and keep you entertained. There's lots of stuff to do with olive groves, the sandy beach in front of the town, smaller beaches and coves all along the coast, a beautiful old town, lots of cafes, pubs and bakeries all very close to the hostel. A bit further away, there's flamingos to see at the salt plains and lots of other nature to explore.

New ZealandThe only letdown for me was the bathrooms- there is only one bathroom on each floor, and no separate toilets
Koko is amazing! Super welcoming and makes you feel at home. We had a private room, which was very large and had bedside tables, a desk and mirror, and big wardrobes for all our stuff which was great as we stayed a few days. The balcony was also great but we didn’t really use it as it overlooks the communal area downstairs. And the room had air con which was a lifesaver with the hot weather! Also loved the boat tour and the sunset tour. A great way to meet people and good value!

United StatesThere are too many people for the few bathrooms at the hostel. It's also loud at night, so if you want to sleep early and do not want to party, I do not recommend you stay here.
The owner, Koko, is an absolutely amazing individual! He makes every person feel like a very special guest (and somehow remembers everyone's names)! He went out of his way to be kind, and somehow manages to always be available to help at all times. The hostel offers lots of really fun (and reasonably-priced) activities, including a boat trip and beach sunsets daily. It's a very social hostel and relatively small hostel, so it's easy to meet people, too.

United KingdomThere is only one bathroom per floor, which isn’t sufficient in high season. The hostel was very social, which was great at times! However, as a couple, we often struggled to find peace, quiet and relaxation. There is a ‘quiet rule’ after midnight but this isn’t respected, despite Koko and the volunteer’s best efforts. Our room had a balcony that faced the outdoor area where most people socialised. One night, one of us went to bed early and couldn’t get any rest, which as frustrating as we were planning to get up early. Our room’s door was right next to Reception, which meant that we were heard everyone arriving and receiving their orientation briefings. Added to this, our room was near the common room - it has a large speaker that plays psytrance throughout the day. It’s a vibe but perhaps not our vibe. One day, we borrowed bikes to see the flamingos. Unfortunately, the bikes aren’t well-maintained and we had to turn back halfway as one of the tyres was damaged. Koko did give us our money back but I’d recommend checking the bikes before setting off.
The hospitality was great - Koko, the owner, is a legend and goes out of his way to help everybody. There are some gorgeous cats and dogs, particularly the hostel mascot Mr. Johnny Barker! The hostel is very social and we met some great people during our time there. There are boat trips every day/ evening and most people get dinner together each evening. The volunteers make sure nobody gets left out. The location is out of the centre but, to be honest, this is a positive thing as the town can get very busy! It is near the police station so felt very safe. Beaches are walkable and there are local amenities nearby, including a market, ATM and local restaurant (Alfa). The hostel is distinctly Aussie. Everyone is super friendly, even when we watched the football and Toone, Hemp and Russo secured a decisive victory for the lionesses!
