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...).

PolandWell, definately it's not the cleanest... especially the fridge and the showers are quite disgusting...The way they serve breakfast is super chaotic and is so basic you end up going to the nice cafe next door anyway. There was one very nice guy who checked me in, the rest of the staff, I think it was some girls from Spain who were voulunteering- extremly loud and annoying
Very good location, it has this backpacking vibe that I'm not a fan of but if you like it, this i your place to stay. The bed had curtains (for me its essential) and it was comfortable. The patio is nice and has hammacks. Additional bathroms downstairs sometimes save life. In general for this price it was ok, but I think the other hostel nearby with free yoga classes would be better

SpainI never leave bad reviews but in this case, I have two. First I arrived to the hostel that is fully ran by volunteers, which normally is fine, but they were more focused on chatting with each other rather than attending the guests or cleaning the space. The hostel is quite dirty. They allocated to me a room with some really young people that had the room as a complete mess with all their stuff laying on the floor, the beds, everywhere…the smell was terrible and there was a couple making up in one of the beds so I just refused to stay there and they provided another room where I was alone (that was nice!).The room was not even clean (the bedsheet had stains) and the shower was missing the head but at that point I was happy I did not have to share the other room. The biggest issue came the second night. At 1am I was awaken by a guy that entered my room calling my name, it was one of the volunteers, telling me that in the next room one guest was fully on drugs/drunk and was screaming like an animal, keeping the full hostel awake. They decided to relocate another person to my room but did nothing to solve the situation with the screaming guy leaving us sleepless for a few hours.

United KingdomThe door in our bathroom didn’t lock or stay shut and as it was a mixed dorm this was a bit precarious when in the toilet or shower. We also felt that the dorm could do with being cleaned a bit more regularly or leaving a broom in the room for us to sweep the sand out every day. It also would be good if we could have controlled the aircon ourselves rather than it being set for us during certain nighttime hours
Staff were excellent - really friendly, very welcoming and very happy to help. They also kept a good stock of ice which was great as it was so hot. The location was also really good - very close to the beach and to restaurants, bars, shops etc. The little cubby holes by the bed and the usb ports were really useful!

GermanyFirst, the hostel charges 5% more if you want to pay for the accommodation by card. Why don't they write in the description? That was just plain cheating, IMO. I have been traveling in Mexico for the past 2,5 weeks and the other hostels offer discounts if one pays by cash. Here they charge 5% extra if one pays by card. Ridiculous and cheating! Secondly, the facilities in the room were EXTREMELY basic in parts, and poor in others. The showerhead was missing, there was a massive cockroach in one of the cupboards! So all in all, I would not recommend anyone to go there. Also to repeat, it is not the fault of the staff but the ownership.
The staff were friendly. The location was also good. Breakfast was a nice touch.

United KingdomThe shower in the private room had no shower head!? It was like a tap ? So I didn’t use it as was only there one night. The air con leaked in the night /morning and left a big cold puddle in the room. The kitchen looked like a camp kitchen, a bit old and rusty and didn’t seem very clean. This is not so much the property itself and not really their fault but I really disliked the vibe of this place. I’ve stayed in a heck of a lot of hostels and always start chatting to people so I’m able to pick up a vibe of a place fast and the crowd of travellers and I just got a weird vibe, it seemed super cliquey , including the volunteers /staff. Glad I only booked one night.
The bed in the private room was suuuuper comfortable (although if you like hard beds maybe not for you) central close to beach and quiet enough at night to sleep (could only hear very faint music from the street parties)

AustraliaOur private room wasn’t that clean and the facilities weren’t great. The fridge didn’t keep things cold and the kitchen was exposed so the bins had a lot of flies. I woke up with bites on my legs as well.
The location is prime. The staff were lovely.

PortugalTours offered by the hostel are overpriced. If you look elsewhere, you can find better deals. Pillow was extremely uncomfortable and they only turn on the AC between certain periods, which means the room can get quite stuffy. Also, there was a dog in the room...
The staff was friendly and helpful when it came to making recommendations. The room was ok, it had curtains for privacy, the bed was comfortable and the water pressure and temperature was good. There was a communal place outside to meet other travelers and to watch the World Cup matches. Great location very close to the beach and within walking distance to the ferry terminal.
