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 KingdomNothing great stay for the price.
Great location close to the centre, but located in a quiet one way street. The bedroom was spacious and clean. The shower and bathroom was clean. Special mention to Inês she was very helpful and informative and gave me suggestions on what to do in Sao Miguel and helped book me a taxi for the airport.

CanadaIt was a bit of a walk to some of the sights we wanted to visit in the city centre, but still a relatively central location overall.
The keypad entry into the building and our rooms made coming and going very easy. The hostel was very clean, the host was responsive to messages, and the breakfast was delicious!

SerbiaSo, the place is cute, clean and I highly recommend it because... though it's not super central to Ponte Delgada, that is its biggest advantage. Just 15 minutes stroll away you can find a viewpoint and watch a gorgeous sunset.

The cleanliness of the hostel is remarkable—every corner was spotless, which made for a very comfortable experience. The modern design added a fresh and stylish touch, and the cozy atmosphere made me feel right at home.

FranceDidn't have a dedicated parking spot, but a few streets nearby (including the one in front of the hostel) where parking was free. Always ended up finding a spot, but was sometimes a struggle.
Hostel was charming and staff very pleasant. Had everything we needed, and more! Enjoyed the beds and the terrace in particular

PortugalMaybe 1 thing this place lacks is a hair dryer, and not just for hair. In such a rainy place like the Azores, it would be useful to dry your clothes with a dryer. I cannot think of anything else, the place was perfect.
We chose the cheapest option but it turned out to be really good. I think it was the best "mixed-bed dorm" we ever lived in. Actually made me think that maybe we should travel like this in the future (normally we rent private rooms) because the experience was really good and as a bonus, you get to know other people. Cleanliness, kitchen, overall organization -- all were very good.

United StatesRooms were a bit hot and it was a bit strange to have no one at reception. Staff were responsive via Whatsapp but weren't always around to talk to at the property.
Breakfast was great, simple but good options including vegan/vegetarian. Everything is self service and was usually left out a bit longer than the official breakfast hours. We stayed in a dorm room which was very clean and had a nice balcony. The location is just outside the main part of town and it's easy to get to most places on foot.

SpainIt’s a bit close to the airport, but so is all of Ponta Delgada so just take some earplugs. At night there’s very few flights and I had no issues.
The breakfast was exceptional, as well as Inês’s friendliness, availability and way of making you feel very at home and confortable! Also the rooms, common spaces, kitchen and terrace were super clean and nice, and the location was awesome.

United StatesI have learned I am a little too old to stay in a Hostel. The facility was great, I am just not suited for that sort of accommodations. The only reason I didn't rate the comfort higher was the bed was a bit too small for me (and I am not a big person) and 6 persons to a room is a lot. I had previously only stayed in hostels with 4 to a room. The 6 person room made bathroom time a challenge for use of the single shower.
The staff was friendly and caring and really did an excellent job. The breakfast was lovely, the common space and garden were nice and inviting. They had a lot of travel information ready for our use to make our Azores adventure even better!

United KingdomOur room was at ground level, just behind the main entrance that was quite noisy, and we could hear whoever was coming in at any time. Also our window was directly on the main road so we couldn’t open the blackout curtains (people would have seen inside), I would suggest to put some voile curtains to add privacy. Staff not speaking English.
Cleanliness, beds very comfortable, big bathroom, varied breakfast.
