Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

United StatesThey didnt let ac turn on till like 8pm and the person staying in my dorm had a stench which became too much without the ac turned on.
Had ac, parking within the gate, good comfortable bed. Had laundry. Had separate female bathroom which was good.

AustraliaI stayed for a few nights but didn’t have air conditioning for the first night as the owner forgot to give the aircon remote to the guy who was looking after the property while they were away. It could also be improved with a key to the hostel for security as the hostel was left unlocked even when nobody was there. It would also be nice to have some opaque curtains for the dorm, as the curtains let in light and you could see into the room from the outside. Perhaps the signage at the hostel could be improved as it felt a bit unofficial when I arrived. There was also one day when I arrived back at the hostel and all the gates were closed and I had to figure out how to open them from the outside (there was no buzzer to press). It seems like a new hostel, and I had a great stay, so these are just a few suggestions ☺️
The guy looking after the hostel while the owner was away was very friendly! The bathrooms had hot water and were clean and modern. There were two kitchens areas and two fridges! It’s located in a quiet and green area of town (note it is in a residential apartment complex). Good spot to relax!

GermanyThe accommodation is a bit out of the city centre but still a grocery shop in walking distance.
New modern place that is tidy and clean. Everything is cleaned daily. The kitchen is very well equipped and greatly sized considering the amount of beds. If you want to check out the free swimming place it's the direction of the hostel out of town.

Ireland- Advertised as air con but was not switched on. Given a fan instead but air con would have been nicer. It wasn’t too hot so was fine.
+ Booked dorm room but was actually only use which was nice. + Big communal kitchen for only two dorm rooms. Was nice and well equipped. + Seating area was nice. Basically a two bedroom apartment with two bathrooms (one male, one female) so spacious and nice. + Location not too far away from centre of town. Walkable to supermarkets and to El Salto rope swing.

United StatesMattresses are loud every time you turn and not very comfortable. Owner was quite grumpy. It was a surprise that I had to pay cash. Only 1 bathroom for all the guys, then 1 for all girls so frequently had to wait a few minutes. Location is 10ish minutes out of the center of town
Generally clean, larger plot of land, has lock box for valuables

Costa RicaIt's not the owner's fault, but it seems La Fortuna has water outages every now and then, so be prepared to not shower or have the water cut off mid process, and there's no air conditioner (there is a fan on the room but it was not turned on for some reason) so humidity and hot temperature will be your partner when trying to sleep, and beds make a noise (probably the mattress' cover is made of a noisy material) when someone rolls over when sleeping, so bring earplugs, and a face mask for the morning light
Good parking space, no noises at night, flexibility at arrival in check-in, polite and friendly host, equipped and modern facilities, currency in dollars or colones, wooden locker for small belongings in case something of value is to be stored, beautiful bathrooms and shower, big kitchen with a view, excellent value for money

United StatesThe owner not lying about the price and then comes by into our rooms at 5 in the morning. Also, there was construction the whole time.
The location was great. Oscar was not. He upcharged us as soon as we arrived, twice. Also, there was construction going on all day and he would walk in the rooms at 5 in the am for whatever reason. Not staying here ever again.

United StatesI didn’t like that when I asked to switch rooms they didn’t take me completely out the accommodation where she was with all the coughing and not washing her hands before touching things
The property was fine. However there was a really sick girl in the room I was staying in so I asked to change rooms. He changed my room however it was in the same space as the other room where we shared a common area. Then she switched rooms to another one on the other side of the complex but still came over to cook her meals….
