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.).

CanadaThe hostel seemed empty but they put me in a room right behind the front desk. All you could hear was the employees watching videos on their phones. Then I’m the middle of the night a person came into our room and got on the top bunk. Soon after he fell asleep he started snoring extremely loudly waking my self and the other person up. We woke him up and eventually he left the room. Turns out this snoring man was the airport shuttle driver. Not sure why they put him in our room. Pretty weird place. The food truck is also super overpriced. Go to the restaurant on the corner. Way better value.
Close to the airport

United Kingdomsince it is a very popular hostel, being such a great destination, it was often quite loud. I did also struggle to get in touch with the Toucan taxi driver on my way to the hostel from the airport, but on the way back it was easily managed
the location was perfect, very short drive to the airport, right near a dennys- the beds we’re comfortable and the rooms didnt have too many beds in as some hostels often do

United StatesThe shared bathrooms were of okay cleanliness, but it is a hostel so this is to be expected.
Good value for the price and location next to the airport. The Toucan truck was a surprisingly good burger and last meal in Costa Rica. The staff helped a lot with transport to the airport and were very flexible.

SwitzerlandOther guests were loudly talking next to the food truck which was right under my window. The breakfast was very little for me as I don't eat eggs or cheese. The portion of bean,rice,platanos didn't increase I just didn't get eggs etc. I think its a bit overpriced for 8 USD for the tiny vegan version.
I liked the room, very comfortable bed and location excellent and close by the airport ,i slept really well.

United StatesIt’s extremely loud, but worst of all was that when they asked if we needed a ride to the airport in the morning, they didn’t tell me that it would cost 4,000 colones. They could easily have charged my card for that when I checked in, since that’s when they asked if we needed a ride. Instead we didn’t find out until we were already at the airport and the driver made us go to an ATM to take out cash, adding a lot of extra time that we didn’t have. It was a reasonable price, but really frustrating that they didn’t tell us that up front.
The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, they have a big shared kitchen, and the room was fine given the price.
