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 KingdomSome facilities were a little cramped including catering area on the ground floor and very small communal sitting area. Also adjacent outside community area missing seating and additional tables.
Location, location, location. Close to the beach and low key local environment including the estuary area. Short walk to the bus stop for the airport and local ferry into Faro. Quiet respectful guests in the dorm, cleanliness, lockers, clean bedding and helpful staff.

United KingdomThe room was warm, would be nicer if there are electric fans… no curtains for privacy of lodgers too…
I like that it is easy to find, and taking an uber is very cheap. It is really literally near the shoreline.

United KingdomThere was no toaster in our shared kitchen which was a shame as missed having toast for breakfast. The pillows were very flat and when I asked for another one was told there was not any. Decor dated but not an issue for me. Thought the price could have been a bit less as sharing a bathroom.
HI, location was great - right near the beach and the bars/restaurants. 20/25 min walk from the ferry to Faro town. Staff helpful. Room and shared areas clean. Roof terrace was a great addition. Sun umberellas that you could use and locker storage for bags.

United KingdomThe creaky beds - you can’t move with out the bed making a noise. The bathroom does have a private space to get changed before and after taking a shower so someone of the opposite sex can easily walk in on you.
The location on the beach and close the the airport is great.

United KingdomI didn't like the behavior of a few guests. They just didn't behave appropriately in the collective space. We were sharing bathrooms and kitchens and they didn't think about leaving as they found. The staff cleaned up all day long but some people's hygiene was poor.
I loved the staff's availability to help and the proximity of the beach

United KingdomWifi was very limited and unreliable, beds were squeaky, the room was too hot with no fans. The outdoor communal table was right next to the bedroom windows so if you wanted to sleep and people were still outside talking, it can be loud and staff did nothing to enforce quiet hours.
It was just 1 minute walk away from the beach and cafes nearby. Good size locker for your bag.

United KingdomThere's no key given to you for locking the room so anyone can enter at any time and that was a major safety concern. You have to pay extra for the padlocks for your locker. The beds are comfortable but rather squeaky and it felt like my bed wasn't cleaned before I checked in. The bathroom space is crammed and the toilet space too which was extremely uncomfortable.
The staff was friendly and helpful. The hostel is very close to the beach and a short ride from the airport. The rooftop is accessible and has a good view of the beach. There's a balcony and a kitchen next to the room. Sockets near the bed for charging phones etc. A decent amount of space between all the beds.

PortugalOne bathroom was getting flooded after every shower, the floor of the room wasn't that clean. It could be good to have a tour in the hostel so we could see the whole facility instead of just the room, for example the balconies and terraces. Could also have individual lamps so during the night people could have some light without turning on the main light.
The location was really perfect! The terrace was really nice for seeing the sunset and the staff too. Very good outdoor spaces.
