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.).

United StatesThere were some bugs in the room, but I kind of expected it. Mosquitoes and some small termites. The set up of the hostel is everything is outside except for the bedrooms, so I understand it’s not the easiest to maintain.
Location was great! Not in the nicest area of San Juan, but I never felt unsafe while being there! The staff were very helpful and kind. The AC also worked very well. 15 minute walk to the beach, a few restaurants and food trucks a 5-10 minute walk away, and a Walmart about a 10 minute walk awa!

United KingdomThe kitchen was very dirty and there were so many cats around, more than 10. There was no mention of this in Booking.com. For anybody allergic to cats they should not stay there. It was raining heavily the night I checked in and the floor my room was very wet but one of the staff came with many towels to mop it up. When I went out to get some food from the nearby restaurant I was warned by many people locals that the area is not very safe at night. the check in desk is not open early in the morning, at least it was not open when I left around 7:30am.
I wanted a place to sleep overnight to catch my flight early the following day and it satisfied that and the price was very good. The staff was friendly and helpful. The bus top for a bus that goes directly to the airport is few minutes walking distance from the place. There are also some nice restaurants very close by.

SpainFor the price I payed for a single room I could have stayed in a much fancier hostel. The stuff is not super welcoming, rooms are kind of humid and noisy and there are bugs everywhere - including cockroaches that I found in my bed! I moved somewhere else after two nights because it was too much.
The best of the hostel is that it is near to Escambrón, which I absolutely loved

United StatesBathrooms are outside of the shared dorm, and the kitchen is tiny. Keep in mind they charge you at the hostel/ the card for booking is not the card they necessarily take. $35us deposit as well.
The rooftop is excellent. The AC also blasts in the rooms and it is not as packed as some of the other hostels in the area. They also give you water bottles which I really liked. 24 hour rooftop.

Czech RepublicThe room equipment looks a bit old and the AC on our room was too loud. The bathroom was very small.
The accommodation looks as described. It is good for one night stay, located near from La Placita de Santurce. If you enjoy walking like we do, you can go to Viejo San Juan by feet - approximately 1-hour walk. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The price is good and it corresponds with the quality.

SwedenThe bed felt like it was falling apart, would have been better to just have the mattress on the floor.
The staff was friendly, since it’s a hostel there is a kitchen with all supplies that’s needed and you have your own room which is great. The area felt safe even thought it looks a little ruff. And you got towels to use 👍🏻

United StatesThere were cockroaches! Each day found one dead. And they weren’t cleaned out either during the day. Apparently there were mice. I did see rat droppings in the room. They need to get a fumigator. The lockers need to be updated. They are bent out of shape. The kitchen is open so cats there whenever u try to eat food. There needs to be more space to store food since food can’t be stored in rooms due to mice issue and cockroaches. Maybe close the kitchen and build shelves to store peoples food. There weren’t any sockets near each bed. Need more sockets that work. There was gum stuck under the too bunk where i slept!
The location was not too far from old town. Had a food truck lot with multiple food trucks within walking distance. Ppl were nice. Private bathroom attached to room was a plus. Having a female dorm was nice. Lockers in room.

It was a bit dirty in the room and bathroom. Pillow case had dirt on it. Not a lot of parking but was expected for the city.
Location was nearby many shops and food. They have nice staff. Very laid back, good manners, good vibes and offered to help if you want things to do in the area.
