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...).

NetherlandsWasn’t a fan of the dorms. No curtains and hardly any privacy. I was unlucky with messy roommates, stuff everywhere
Tribu has a great community and amazing volunteers. The amount and type of activities they organize are unparalleled. There’s something for everyone all day long. Super easy to meet people! If their private rooms would be cheaper I would definitely be back.

AustriaYou get the bed linen separately and basically have to make the bed yourself, which is totally fine for me. But it felt kind of unusual and not exactly welcoming for the first moment. A small bedside lamp would be great.
I loved the vibe and the chill-out area. There are lots of activities (also for free), which are perfect for meeting and connecting with people. The bed is super comfy and the staff are really nice.

United StatesNo towel provided, but you can purchase/deposit. While the mattresses were comfortable enough, the fitted bedsheets don’t actually fit the mattress, so they don’t stay in place at all. There were no blankets, only sheets. No AC during the day. 26 Celsius at night (guests have no control of AC).
The property is super homey and cozy. Lots of spots to chill and socialize. Good WiFi and plenty of outlets and room for personal stuff in dorms. Everyone was very respectful and friendly. The bar and group activities were excellent. Proximity to beach/town was excellent. I cant wait to return.

Tribu Hostel was recommended to me by a friend. The hostel itself has a great location, a few minutes walk from the beach, a few minutes walk from the main street. The staff was super awesome, especially Clara from Madrid, she's a rockstar. She answered all my questions with patience and a big smile. Gracias Clara! The bar upstairs has a happy hour every night from 7-9pm, 2for1 drinks, I had two mezcalitas and they were good! I'd stay there again.

Switzerlandhard to tell - all perfect, seriously
"The entire staff was incredible—from the management team to the reception and all the volunteers. I was also impressed by the variety of courses they offered. The travelers staying there created a great atmosphere that fit perfectly with the hostel vibe. I had the best time ever while traveling, and for the first time, I truly felt at home. While I know things might change with different people working or staying there, at that moment, it was simply perfect. I was supposed to stay for just a few nights, but ended up staying for two weeks!"

AustraliaThe fan above my bunk was broken so was a bit hot, but there was an aircon on at night however it was set to 36 degree Celsius so it was still warm.
Tribu hostel was excellent for what we wanted. It was situated just a little bit down from the main square so it wasn't noisy and on the beach. It was relatively clean. The bathroom was clean and the beds were quite comfortable and just got a top and bottom sheet and pillow. The staff were lovely, the hostel activities were great. We did the yoga a few times and it was so great. We booked all our tours through the hostel and they we're terrific and also got discounts for certain restaurants. It wasn't a party hostel which is what we wanted and had a curfew at midnight so all the music finished. If I ever go back I would stay again.

There are different activities offered every day that favor contact with others. The staff is adorable, always ready to help you! The kitchen is great, super well equipped

United StatesA few things I didn’t like was that the owner of the hostel liked to sell drinks but they were bad and he was pushy to want the bar to do well. Also our room had a leaky toilet since the first time we were in there that would leak on the floor. One other small thing would be that they get a spatula for the kitchen they have. Everyone used forks to make food on the burners
This hostel is great and has a good environment with a variety of people that is stimulating. The Tribu spot is wonderful and loved staying with them a decade ago too. The island has grown a lot though and there is growing pains from that. Good environment to meet people

New ZealandTwo fans plus AC blasting all night doesn't make for the most peaceful sleeping situation but the room was cold so really can't complain!
Excellent location! Not right in the centre of things but not too far away from everything. A very well maintained hostel, well equipped kitchen with free water and coffee! The hangout hammocks are great and there is a lot of opportunities to be social if you want. I was nervous about the reviews saying the music is loud all night - never encountered this.

ArgentinaClean, colorful and relaxed hostel comfortably in walking distance from the center and beaches. Natalia at the front desk kindly helped me upgrade upon check-in to a private room with a deal that I had seen on booking.com which was super appreciated! Natalia was also super helpful in suggesting activities and coordinating taxi and airport transfers for me and the other guests. The bed in my private room was very comfortable and the AC was appreciated after a long day's travel. Another highlight was the free yoga class in the morning! The hostel also has deals with nearby restaurants and beach clubs so Tribu guests get 10% off which is great (I loved spending a day at their affiliated beach club Carolinda which is apparently the best in Holbox).
