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 KingdomFood wasn’t great, and you didnt always get what you asked for but id still say its the best value for money on the island and would stay again. A lot of mosquitoes got into the room because theres a hole for ventilation in bathroom and a gap under the front door
Location is great, rooms are basic but have everything youd need and are clean. Bathroom is good because there’s a separate section for the shower to stop the whole room getting wet. Plenty of seating and games etc in the restaurant area

GermanyThe shower rooms could be checked again, some didn't work properly.
Super nice location next to the beach. The staff there is just amazing 😍 They make you feel home. They organize tours and have different games there. The food is good and the cocktails more! You can walk to different beaches or to the lighthouse and the waterfall. Restaurant and shops are close by. Would definitely stay here again.

Czech RepublicThe restaurant wasn't that good and the staff seemed to forget part of order on every visit. There are other options very nearby. The fire show wasn't as good as another we've seen at another place, one day it even seemed to be cancelled last minute or we just didn't notice it starting. Some of the shared showers still lack racks to hang clothes.
English speaking staff at the hostel part. They helped us booking trips and the boat back to mainland and shared taxi for an onward journey. There was a girl there that was very helpful and a guy that seemed a bit more confused about some things. The location is nice right on the beach. There are many games in the restaurant. We slept in one of the further rooms and did not have issues with loud music as other reviews warned about.

IrelandNo transport provided from pier to hostel which involved over a 1k walk along the beach with heavy bags. Room not overly clean but manageable. Beach loungers are wooden and not very comfortable to chill on. Food a bit overpriced but is similar across whole island.
Good vibes and atmosphere. Nice bar and pool table area. Beach is on the doorstep. Beer is cheap. Staff helpful organising trips and transport. Overall very good place for backpackers to stay

On the menu you see 2 sandwiches or baguettes but you ll only get one ) -Not a specific critic regarding this place but the beach in general is not very clean! -Its more a party location than a backpacker location (just be aware of that)

South SudanDorms a little bit messy but it depends on the guest, however the manager can insist to the guest to organize their staff and use only 1 bed.
The private room has a good area. You can eat a good food at the restaurant or buy it in the mini market. Good music. Just in the first line of the beach.

United Kingdoma bit more expensive than the other onederz and there’s no way to get money out of an atm, only cash back from the mini mart with a 10% charge. can pay at the hostel by card though thankfully.
really good vibe, when it’s busy the atmosphere is great and there’s a wide variety of food and drink. staff are so lovely and helpful and the location is really pretty, right on the beach. only a 20 minute walk from lazy beach.

CambodiaThe dorms weren't cleaned every day like in the other Onederz hostels. There was a lot of sand in the rooms though. You also need earplugs for the night, because of the party at the beach.
The location is really good and you meet other people easily at the beach! I also loved the seats at the beach where you can just sit down, eat, drink and meet new people.

FinlandThe AC in the dorm room was only on from 9pm to 8am so during the day you couldn't really stay in the room because it got so hot. The common bathrooms could have been cleaned a bit more often. The wifi didn't work very well in the bedrooms. The restaurant is really slow and they often forget what you have ordered. There are better options for food on the same beach.
The location is perfect, right on the beach. The beds are really comfortable. The facilities are great (pool tables, ping pong table, a lot of hammocks). The staff is friendly and helpful. We stayed in a dorm room for a couple of nights but we wanted to switch to a double room since my girlfriend got a flu and the staff made it really easy for us, which was nice.

On the beach, really comfy beds and staff always going round sweeping so not too sandy. Not the most social hostel but definitely is what you make of it
