Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

IrelandThe reception isn’t open very long during the day and the wifi doesn’t work in the rooms but it works in the common space so nice to get out of the room if I needed to use the internet instead.
Great location and lots of space in the middle for socialising or chilling by yourself! The room was cleaned every day. I booked the full day snorkelling tour through the hostel too and it was so much fun ☺️

United KingdomOne cleaner forced my partner to move in the middle of teaching a class online. Given that digital nomads are pretty common these days, we were shocked by his lack of understanding. My partner even explained what he was doing, but the cleaner stood there and asked him repeatedly to move. There was a note that said 'Housekeeping begins at 10am' but this occurred at 2pm, when my partner was simply sitting in the corner of the dorm room quietly teaching on his laptop. The cleaner then moved everything out from under our bed, our clothes and bags, banged shoes loudly and repeatedly on the floor and swept the same small patch of floor a dozen times. It was quite frustrating and rude. I've also never seen cleaners handle and move people's clothes and belongings excessively like this before, having travelled and stayed in hostels for 15 years. There were also unnecessarily harsh messages on the app before we arrived, about leaving bags in rooms after checking out, and there's a ten dollar charge for 'late check in' 2 hours after first check-in, which is hilarious given the hostel's name is Go Slow! Overall the hostel is fine, but it could do better on these elements.
Most of the staff were really kind and helpful. The kitchen was well equipped and clean, the beds were comfy, the location ideal.

BelgiumNo privacy in the room and upper beds don’t have a side bar. Airco is managed centrally, and for me it was too hot at night. There is a fan in the room you can turn on, but it’s like 7 pigs snorting.
Great location, helpful staff, well equipped kitchen, good place for socializing and rooms lock with a code, so no potential loss of keys

United StatesIf you check in after 5pm you need to give them a long heads up about the precise time you're coming. Otherwise you might have to wait a long time to be checked in.
This place is clean, comfortable, has hot water, dorms have plenty of space, AC runs all night so no bathing in your own sweat. Some of the best value for your money you can get on the island.

AustraliaThere is no free water which adds up a lot over time. Also it can take awhile to get things done through reception including check in (there is a 4% bank transaction fee so make sure you have cash!). The slogan for Caye Caulker is Go Slow so it does need a lot of adjustment!
The hostel is in a great location, very close to many restaurants and bars, but not on the main strip so that it is a bit quieter. It's also really great value for money. They clean the rooms twice a day which is also great.
