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...).

IndiaPart of the cafe and the workspace is painted pitch black. It resembles a dark cave and is neither aesthetically pleasing nor conducive to focusing on work. A couple of paintings in the private room could make it more cheerful. I just wish the staff were happier!

United KingdomThe dorm beds where pretty hard and the organisation of who was sleeping where was bad. My girlfriend got woken up at midnight due to a confusion about who was sleeping in which bed! And the night staff member was equally confused and unsure what to do, but he had a list with names and bed numbers!
It was clean and in good location

GermanyNo toilet paper in the bathroom:-( We couldnt lock our dorm, which is a bit odd for a girl's dorm.
Nice, state of the art hostels in Panajis old town. Great coffee for breakfast (Bombay coffee roasters) and an appealing community area on the upper floor. Good wifi service. Location is walkable from the major bus stand and to Panajis city centre etc.

NetherlandsStaff member who works by night isn’t very friendly (or doesn’t speak English well and comes across as rude?). Female dorm could use some TLC, add a curtain, place a trash bin, put a lock on the door. At the moment I find Value for Money not matching. But the location is amazing, beautiful building. Just add the hostel spirit!
Location! Breakfast is okay.

United KingdomIn the lower dorm they disconnect the power overnight. This is extremely annoying especially if you were charging anything. You have to take down a picture and open the fuse box to switch it back on. Also reception can’t cope with basic enquires - I wanted to extend my stay two days and they told me I had to phone someone else? Weird.
Great location, really nice property, friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Also clean!

IndiaWe booked a room of 6 dorms and wanted a lock while leaving the room but the keys weren’t available. Also there was no mirror in the washroom or the room. The staff said earlier guests broke the older one. Though the staff was very helpful but this is the only thing we missed.
I really liked the vibe of the entire place, the other guests were also very friendly I just loved the place and the cafe was great too.

IndiaThere's only two washrooms for all the three dorms as well as the cafeteria on the ground floor. Although the structure wouldn't permit otherwise but that seemed little bit of an issue, but can totally be overlooked given the other positives.
It's centrally located in the Fontainhas and the staff too is very nice, friendly and helpful. They have complementary breakfast and two options for the breakfast but when I told the staff that I'm a vegan and can't have either of the two options they offered, they were really nice and kind enough to arrange for samosa/other snacks from the nearby tea shop. The staff was also nice and kind enough to offer a sanitary napkin to me in case of emergency. The checkin and checkout has always been hassle free here.
