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...).

NetherlandsThe fan in the tent was very noisy, so we did not use it at night. WiFi is not always working
Perfect location next to the beach and all the restaurants and bars, but also walking distance from the ferry. Very good vibe, lovely staff. We slept outside in the tents, in general it is very quiet after 11pm (or earlier). Great breakfast!!

ArgentinaI booked for one night and ended up staying for 3. The hostel has a great vibe, everyone is super nice and helpful. The receptionists would always be there to help you and to give you recommendations about the island. It’s a cozy, family vibe hostel.

AustraliaThe bank beds are very close to each other, and there is hardly any space between beds
The location of this hostel, it is in the centre and very close to the beach, shops and restaurants. Great vibes at the hostel, every day they organize a group activity. Breakfast was included and honestly best pancakes ever had in my life, every day something different for breakfast. Staff was very friendly and helpful

United KingdomNo issues during our stay!
Great little hostel in Holbox. We stayed in one of the tipis which was spacious and comfortable with two fans, mosquito net and plug in repellent provided, towels included. The toilets and showers were always clean and the water was always hot. Breakfast was provided and had a nice variety of cereals, bread, fruit and eggs. The whole hostel has a lovely chilled vibe and a beautiful garden with places to sit and socialise and hammocks to hang around in. Plenty of activities planned for every day too should you wish to join in. Quiet hours in place from 11pm and it was always quiet during our stay which we appreciated. Wifi worked for the most part, drop outs are expected with the weather and being on an island. Wouldn’t hesitate to return.

United Statesthe volunteers seemed to be in their own world (not very attentive to guests, and not creating a social atmosphere), none of the activities actually happened (they said it was because not enough people signed up, but they never came around inviting guests to sign up or even notify us that we had to sign up)
Super comfy tents (fan + nice mattress, loads of room for bags), great and varied breakfast, loved the hammock area for chilling or having a drink in the evening, central location
