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...).

SpainThe most basic Onederz I stayed in, probably as it's located in the islands. Only 1 shower had hot water and the room was always full of sand, but I guess this is to be expected at a beach location lol Prices were quite expensive compared to other Onederz and staff not so friendly, but overall I'd still recommend.
Brilliant location right by the beach and plenty of common areas to enjoy some chilled time. Unlike most places in Sanloem, Onederz takes payment by card (which is really helpful given there are no ATMs in the island!) - but only to pay the room and food, not transport booked through them.

United KingdomThe island itself is quite quiet (not really the property’s fault), but it means you don’t have many other bars to go to. Still a great location if you’re looking for somewhere to chill for a few days
You’re right on the beachfront so it’s a great spot for chilling, and the food was really good without being too expensive. Each bed has a curtain in the dorm, and you have your own locker to put valuables. The staff were all so friendly, particularly those behind the bar

GermanyThe bath cleaning service all day long- it was super clean. It was right next to a Restaurant/bar and in between 2 Supermarktes. Could not be in a better area. The stuff was really caring too. Highly recommended. oh…and I guess every thursday it is beachparty time. Thus this is just the place to be. you dont have to move yourself at all. It is all just right there.

United KingdomThe only negative was on Thursday they have a beach party and the heavy bass music went on until 1am so couldn't sleep until after then. This will be fine for most as you'll go to the party 🤣 if you're like me I would simply avoid being there on a Thursday. Every other night was fine (some bar noise until around 11 but nothing that stopped me sleeping) The shower has little pressure.
The double room was it's own little building. Large bathroom. Good size room. Everything is so close. The bar and restaurant seconds from the rooms and right onto the beach. There is a free water taxi which picks you up from your pier I was worried about this and it was automatically sorted by Onederz. Bar games, beach entertainment, shop. Short wander from other hostels and restaurants, beach BBQ every night. Good WiFi. Day trips (expensive but if you want to change your days up). The island is quiet and peaceful and special but has atmosphere at night.

DenmarkSome walls in the room was dirty. Quite many dogs on the beach.
Location great, bed comfortable, lots of games to play, beach clean, good food, Thursday's has a nice party in the evening. They have tours to see bioluminescence and swim with shining plankton in the night. Would recommend this place. They organize boat to deliver you to the hostel from the ferry, very handy. Also can carry your bag if its heavy. Thanks to all of you :)

CanadaOnly one bathroom for all dorms - girls bathroom has 4 bathroom stalls and 4 showers for everyone. Definitely need another bathroom for people to use. It was not the cleanest.
I loved the location of Onederz, in a really great spot right on the beach. The rooms were comfortable, they don't turn AC on till the evening which is hard sometimes with the heat, but it works really well in the evening when it's on and beds were comfortable. Staff were friendly.

IrelandWe stayed for 5 nights and did not receive any cleaning services. I didn’t mind too much about the bed sheets, but I had to ask twice for extra toilet paper and clean towels, and our bin was overflowing. Given the price we paid, I would have expected some sort of cleaning service after a few days which was disappointing
I loved it! Perfect location, friendly staff, gorgeous views. Food was delicious. I would definitely recommend staying here

United StatesWe only ate at the Onederz restaurant a couple times during our week on the island because the food takes a very long time to be made, and there are not many vegetarian options. We preferred to instead walk down the beach to one of the other restaurants for meals. Also, there is no free water, but that is a bit understandable given the island location and the sheer number of people staying here (water is $1 out on the island as well, so I recommend coming with some bottles from the mainland if possible).
The beach is absolutely stunning, and almost everything on the island is right along it—most of the restaurants are concentrated within a 5 minute walk of Onederz. There isn't much to do besides relax on the beach and go in the crystalline water, so it is a perfect vacation spot. The dorms are kept very clean—the staff can be seen sweeping every area multiple times throughout the day to eliminate sand, and they make the dorm beds every morning as well. There were a ton of people staying when we did, but the dorms stay very quiet regardless of music and outside noise, and everyone in our dorm throughout our stay was very respectful. The A/C gets very cold, but is only turned on from 21:00-10:00, so if you try to nap during the day or go to bed early, it's a bit stuffy in the rooms (each bunk has a fan in it though). Also The bathrooms are kept very clean for the number of people using them every day, and the showers get decently hot with free shampoo and soap. We enjoyed our stay so much, we extended another three days!
