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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 StatesI should have chosen my room with more care.
On my previous stay, I had a single room with a private bath. My room was a little small for this visit. It was my fault for not checking out all of the options. I will stay here again but choose another room.

United StatesBecause of its central location traffic noise is quite loud, particularly an issue in the evening when motorcycles seem to intentionally drive around and around the plaza out front just to be heard and the windows must all be kept open for ventilation. This continues until after 11pm making sleeping more difficult. Also having only one window in my room meant leaving the room door open as well as the curtains if I wanted cross ventilation while inside. The room was quite small and basic but fine for what I was paying. The free parking was only one or at most two spaces on-site with availability limited especially during the 4 days the restaurant is open, though alternate parking arrangements cover some of the other time periods. Finding the hostel itself was very difficult while arriving by car as both signage was small and the frontage is somewhat buried in the midst of commercial establishments on a very busy street with no place to stop or legally park. Also one way streets made my need to drive past multiple times quite tricky. Despite my GPS telling me I had arrived I did not find it until I had parked semi-legally around the corner in some kind of e-parking space with no idea where or how to pay and walked back to the actual location. There I found no answer to pushing the small buzzer button, though I had not realized I was there earlier than the 2 pm checkin time and the owners had simply not yet arrived, which I found out when they responded to the phone message I then left for them. All went smoothly a few minutes later when they arrived and called me at the nearby cafe where I waited. It is actually way simpler and easier for those travelers arriving on foot, which I think is how most hostel patrons travel.
Great interior garden which is also a restaurant 4 days a week. Beautiful and friendly resident Bengal cat as well as wonderful vegetation with lots of seating and tables. Owners are very gracious and accommodating. Everything was quite clean including the shared bathrooms and common areas. Interesting fellow travelers were easily met in the evening for conversation in several lounge areas. VERY inexpensive cost for either small shared hostel room or private room with shared bathrooms. Somewhat more cost for private room with private bath. Location is in center of town and very walkable, as well as convenient to public transportation. Close to restaurants and shopping. Has an available small refrigerator in one lounge area. Wi-Fi throughout. Felt safe and secure.

United StatesTwo things. The hardware on their lockers were extremely flimsy, such that a child could break in with ease. I had brought a padlock but it wouldn't fit, and I had to use my suitcase lock. The other thing is that the pillows were terrible and badly need replacing.
The location is actually perfect. Though they had a restaurant there I took most of my breakfast and other meals at local sodas rather than at the Hostel..

PolandIt says free parking but there wasn't any for us because what they have wasn't available (it seems to only be 1 spot in the garage in the entrance). The parking garage around the corner allows for overnight parking, it wasn't too bad, I think like 4,000CRC.
The location is right in the center, directly across from the town square and next to the church. You have easy access to everything. They have free DIY coffee, and the rocking chairs were very comfortable. The garden restaurant is cute.

United StatesIt’s not a true hostel in the sense that you cannot cook or feed yourself. There is a mini fridge and hot kettle that is it. The bed was just a thick mat so it was very hard to sleep. I also didn’t like that the pin on the door changed 3 times without telling me so I had to figure out how to get in another way.
I like the location and how affordable it is. The house cats are awesome.
