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 KingdomI would have liked curtains on the beds, it gives better privacy. Also, airconditioning unit would be a good investment. The fans are noisy, and keeping the balcony door open means noise from the street too. The beds were a little squeaky, and moved a lot when someone turns or gets in and out of top bunk. All in all, a good experience though - the dislikes didn't ruin my stay, so not a big issue. Thank you guys for your hospitality!
The staff!! So friendly, helpful, attentive, positive, and absolutely adorable! I am so grateful to have met them! The location was superb! Close to transport links, cafes, restaurants, sightseeing spots, yet so quiet and cozy! I liked that there was a balcony in our room, albeit small. Living room and dining facilities were kept in very good condition, always clean and organised. The same with the kitchen, though I didn't use it much. The rules of the hostel are quite good - privacy and relaxation time are well respected.

GreeceNothing really, except that you sometimes wish there was a terrace available when the weather is good, obviously not the hostel's fault.
The hostel is perfectly located at a surprisingly quiet narrow street a few meters away from the cathedral, so it is perfectly situated in the center of Barcelona, while at the same time having a quiet place if you need it. The people working there are wonderfully helpful and friendly and available. The common spaces are spacious and beautifully decorated,the kitchen is well equiped, the bathroom is clean and showers and toilets are enough for the number of people residing, so i never felt there was a waiting time. It is not a large hostel so things are kept cosy and familiar even between guests.

PhilippinesSome ladies at the reception were rude. She told me that I can't go to a certain place because it's Expensive. Well, that's what she thinks!!!
Cleanliness and location. Good ambiance. Rachel, she helped me in bringing my luggage upstairs. She's very approachable.

United KingdomNothing, this is the best hostel I've ever been to.
The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, they even planned a evening trip to the bunkers and helped us see the sights! I love how friendly and chilled it is, especially when travelling solo. I made a lot of friends and would 100% come back!

PhilippinesSome of the staff at the reception..I didn't like. She's a bit rude when I asked her about the good tourist sites to see. And she told me straight to my face that I can't afford to see some other places coz these places are expensive.!!!! How could she tell me that??? . And She didn't fully explain to me the places that I should visit, Is it because I'm an ASIAN travelling around Europe and can't afford to go to some other places in Barcelona? OMG..when people travel especially for leisure, we are financially prepared to spend on essential things. We don't travel if we DON'T HAVE MONEY! I hope they get the point!!
It's a value for money hostel. Rooms. Toilet and bathroom are clean. Beds are comfortable to sleep in. I like the lounge upstairs and the veranda. They have unlimited free coffee. The kitchen is free for all to use and it's very clean. But Rachel..was exceptionally good to us. SHE checked us in very quick and smooth. She even helped us carry our luggage upstairs to our room.

MontenegroThis is my fourth time in Barcelona and I have changed a lot of hostels, but I am delighted with this one. 🍀💙 This is so clean hostel. The people who work here are very kind and I especially thank them for understanding my not so good English 😃🙏. In this hostel is a homely atmosphere. 😇 The kitchen is spacious and you have everything you need to prepare your meal🍜. Dining room and living room, terraces, everything is well designed with lots of wonderful details... 🏡 The location of the hostel is great and everywhere you go is close. 🚀 The only thing this hostel lacks during the summer is air conditioning, but for me, compared to everything mentioned above, that's not a problem. I coming again with friends for sure.🙋♀️🌠💃🧚♀️
