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...).

ItalyThe hostel is very good, with well-designed dorms that offer private spaces. The outdoor area is nice but feels a bit enclosed due to high walls. The main downside is the limited number of bathrooms. We often had to wait, especially in the evening.

SpainThe agency they work with for the Rosario islands tour is the worst tour company I’ve ever known. I totally recommend not to get the tours with them (opi tours). It ruined our visit to the islands, that’s what I don’t give a 10 to the hostel, it’s a pitty
The rooms are quite nice and the location is perfect.

Canadait was freezing inside, but they do provide a very nice warm blanket. Just weird to have to sleep with a blanket in the tropics, but thats my beef in general. Everything else was good, no complains.
Location, location, location. In the middle of the city yet surprisingly quiet inside. No frills but well setup. I don't care much for hostels but it was fine for a couple nights. Place was clean and mostly well maintained. Security was on the ball everyday keeping people out, good job.

United KingdomIn the morning there was a queue for the toilets of which there are only three which doesn’t seem like a lot considering there are 30 maybe 40 beds. One of the toilets was absolutely violated by another guest and this wasn’t cleaned even when we were departing.
We stayed here for one night and we found the pods to be surprisingly private considering the dorm nature of the room. The location is amazing you’re right in the centre of the old town. Everything was clean except the Jacuzzi water looked stale and murky

AustraliaIt could be pretty loud at times due to the music and other guests not adhering to the quiet time policy. However earplugs helped with this. Internet was not so good, I could not access wifi when in my bedroom. My biggest complaint was the bathroom, although they were great and worked well, having only three to service about 40 people was just not enough. Also as the shower and toilet were in one space this meant you could be busting to go to the toilet and still need to wait for ages (I waited literally for 40 minutes, and this was a common story for other guests I talked to.)
Amazing vibe here and very social. The breakfast was yummy and the bed was very comfortable. We liked the small hang out spaces and the staff were very friendly. The location was great for walking and exploring the city, with both expensive more touristy food places and cheaper (but still yummy) street food and local restaurants in walking distance.

SwitzerlandThere are only 3 toilettes including showers, so if 3 people are showering at the same time, there’s no toilette to use… :/ Sometimes you have to wait up to 30 Minutes, especially in the morning. The Wifi is not really working in your Dorm Room.
it’s located in the middle of the old town. You get around so fast from this hostel and there’s a small Carulla in front of the Hostel. The Bed is comfortable and you get your own little space in there. The Kitchen is really nice and free to use.
