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.).

New ZealandPower outlets in lounges are in the floor and only have a small space to push plug into hole so they didn't fit with my adapter. There were only a couple of power outlets in the bunkroom and you had to be in the room whilst charging as you had to put your door access swipe card in the thing on the wall to make power outlets and lights work. Hot water only from hand basins (no cold tap). Shower and bathroom lights go off whilst in shower. Shower water also on a timer. Moldy shower but bunk room and sheets seemed clean.
Recently renovated so that this former palace is now trendy and modern. Great breakfast provided (fresh fruit, bread rolls, butter, jams, ham, cheese, 3 types of cereal, toast, juice, tea, coffee, hot chocolate). Towels provided. Wifi good. Kitchen has cooktop, fridge and microwave. Spacious bunkroom. Quiet location. Stable construction bunk and comfortable bed. Great location (close to info centre, 5 blocks from camino path). Duvet provided. Used luggage transfer service to and from this location and it worked well.

United StatesNothing really
We loved our stay here. I had booked a private double room with a private bathroom. Both the bedroom and bathroom were a good size. We found the bed itself very comfortable and had a great night's sleep. The building was amazing. It retained many of the original features - large open and light spaces with tall ceilings. The breakfast provided was great - although there was a bit of a bottleneck at the coffee machine that brewed individual cups of coffee. The coffee was good but you had to wait a while for it.

United StatesOur group had to separate males females. They didn't take age and group into consideration. Two males should have been across from one another instead of across from strangers. One female was in sixties and put on top bunk when bottom ones were open and was denied when requested to be moved. Made no sense. Poor management decisions. This coming from myself owning a hostel
Cleanliness. Great location

United StatesWhen I asked about a place nearby to buy groceries, I was directed to a very expensive wine bar and specialty food item boutique store just a couple of doors down, whereas I learned subsequently that there was a much less expensive and open grocery store within a ten minute walk. It was difficult to find a simple place to eat and grab a beer nearby after a difficult day of trudging through the sand and more rickety boardwalk than expected, so the location was a bit limiting for me. I'd still stay there in the future, but would be better prepared, having mapped out the more affordable grocery store in advance.
Thank goodness I'd made a reservation, as it was fully booked by the time I arrived, and other pilgrims were being turned away. The all female dorm with lockers and plenty of room to organize my things; the lovely kitchen, dining, and living room areas were spacious and enjoyable; the modern twist on a beautiful old building; well done!
