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.).

NorwayVery hot!! The staff come in at 07:30 in the morning (waking you up) and turn off the ac, so during the day there is nowhere to stay where you do not overheat. There are no keys to the rooms, and you only get a small locker next to the kitchen for your valuables. They said there would be a security guard in the night when the reception is closed, but we never saw one. Felt unsafe.
Good location and useful kitchen. They have a good amount of activities you can join.

ArgentinaIt's not a bad thing, but bear in mind that It's a quiet hostel, you can meet people but it's not a party hostel... Lights are out after 10.
One of the best hostels I've stayed in Centroamérica. Not only do dorms have a bathroom but also every bed has curtains, lights, a little fan and a socket! Ana is always willing to help and give you good advice about places and how to get there. The kitchen is amazingly well equipped and the common area has games and a ping-pong table, apart from some cute little lizards strolling around the garden. Great hostel!

SpainRooms are too crowded. Asian girl in the reception could be more friendly and smile. Many young and old ppl in the same rooms (seems like groups of students with their parents) so it doesn’t have a backpacker hostel vibe if you know what I mean

BelgiumThe rooms nor the facilities are very clean, doors cannot be locked so everyone can come in and when people smoke on the terrace, the smell just goes right into the room. The ventilators at the beds make a lot of noise and you hear the vibration the moment you put your head on your pillow

SpainBeds are a bit fragile so in the bunkbeds you can feel too much if the one upstairs is moving. We found rests if someone dinner and clothes drying in our beds on arrival, my pillow folder was dirty, which can be very unpleasant if you arrive after a long road drive expecting a good night sleep, maybe staff can check beds before check in
Common areas were good and with free coffee and tea + kitchen. Staff was very kind and helpful with our route informations needed. There were courtains in the bunkbeds

United StatesThe 10 bed dorm is very tight and stuffy as there is no a/c. Had to change rooms after the first night.
Hotel staff was very nice and helpful in booking trips and excursions and assisting with any questions and requests. Kitchen was clean and enjoyable to cook in. Location is at the edge of town, but a 2-3 minute walk to the restaurants and bars as it is a small town. Vibes are great, people sitting and chilling at all hours. Great value for money.

IndiaThe rooms are pretty tight so there's really nowhere to leave luggage. Everyone's bags were sprawled across the floor while I was there. But considering that the majority of people only used the room to sleep, it didn't seem to bother anyone. No personal lights in the bunks. Just fans. I prefer having the fan, so not an issue for me.
Almost everything. Extended thrice during my stay. I slept like a baby. Personal fans in every bed and my bed itself was really comfortable. The staff is some of the sweetest and most helpful I've had in central America. Nice, well equipped, large kitchen. There's a TT table for those who play. All the common areas being in one place ensures that it's pretty social but not in a loud way. Very easy to make friends and talk to people, find others to plan activities together etc.
