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.).

UkraineUnfortunately, it was hard to get a good night's sleep in the room because the hostel is located above very noisy cafes and restaurants that are loud all night.
Thank you for the friendly atmosphere in the hostel. The staff is very welcoming, and the room is wonderful, bright, and clean. The location is great, near several beaches.

IrelandBlind on window could do with changing, a bit moldy.
Stayed 1 night when arriving late to Lisbon. Arranged airport pick up by host who was friendly and very nice. Private family room with private bathroom. Small, compact room, clean room and bathroom. In the heart of Cascais, loud bars outside til late but we didn't mind as we wanted to be in heart of things on first night and went to bars/cafes outside ourselves. Pleasant short 1 night stay. I only needed to stay 1 night here myself, it's fine for pit stop stay in central Cascais if on a budget.

GermanyThe hostel is located in the center and there is loud music every night, coming from the bars around and they don't stop until late at night. If you have a light sleep it might not be suitable. Earplugs are in the house though and I managed to sleep alright.
The location is very central and it has a nice outside area to sit. The kitchen is well equipped and it is clean.

GermanyThe location is very central at a square with a lot of pubs and restaurants. Unfortunately, due to that it is also extremely loud especially at night. Due to the loud music, sleeping was only possible with ear plugs and it is impossible to keep the windows open at night.
The staff was very welcoming and friendly and the rooms were simple but clean.

BrazilAs it’s real close to where the night life is, it gets noisy during that period. Also, it has a LOT of stairs, I was carrying a heavy suitcase and had a really tough time getting it inside the room I stayed - which happened to be on the top floor.
The location is great! The bathrooms are also nice.

CanadaThe dorm was quite small and backpacks did not fit in the drawers provided. I also missed having a hook or something to hang my towel to dry after showering.
My stay at Cascais Bay Hostel was amazing. The staff were welcoming, the facilities were clean, and the kitchen was well stocked with tools needed to cook. My favourite part was the balcony/bar with a view of the ocean and the busy street below.

AustriaThe noise of the bar until 3 am directly in front of the windows was a real torture and in addition to that in the morning there was the next noise from a building site (so get very good ear plugs!) The mattress was very bad and the bed sheets very smelly (like you leave the laundry for 2 days in the washing machine without hanging it). The hostel is simple but okay. For that what you get absolutely overpriced.
In the center of Cascais, very close to everything - restaurants, bars and beaches

PortugalThe bathroom had a bed smell, although they cleaned every day. If you can´t sleep with noise, don´t go there. There are a lot of bars surrounding the hostel, what is great for night people, but not for the ones that really want to sleep. They usually stay opened until 2 / 3 am.
Specially the staff are very kind and the location is great, really in the heart of the city, with a lot os attractions very close to it!

AustraliaThe beds could do with some extra padding as mine was a bit hard, it didn't matter to me after full days in Cascais. The locker was a bit small.
The location is unbeatable, right in the middle of town. It meant I needed my earplugs because there was a nightclub downstairs, not a problem for me. I loved waking in the morning to have my breakfast on the balcony watching the people, and I could just see the ocean. Both nights I came in late and as a single female I felt very safe in the area. One of the nights there was a small party with live music, which we were invited to join in with, which I did. The small kitchen and tv area is cozy and has everything you could want for hanging out and making friends. I can't wait to come back and stay longer!

BelarusIt's a great place to stay. Location is perfect - right in the center of the city were all night life and 5 minutes away from local beaches. Bus and train station are 10 minutes away. Auchan is 10 minutes to walk. You can find other product shops just next to the hostel but they overpriced obviously. Stuff is great and friendly. Did not charge me for the late check-in. The only thing is that two night clubs right there and they play music up until 2 a.m. so it's better to use earplugs. Sometimes there are parties thrown at the terrace in the hostel which is great.
