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.).

GermanyIt could be cleaner especially all the sinks. Matress was old and had a dent where everybody slept. Sleeping in the top bed of three is not very convinient.
It is a very nice hostel with beautiful common areas. I booked the dorm so that is what I got. Very cheap and great breakfast. Water was warm and very helpful staff. I liked the open shower with wind gowing in but there were leaves everywhere.

HungaryThe shower and the sinks should be in a normal building. For someone who uses contactlenses for example, it is bot higenic to put them in while the dirt can come in to the shower area as it is not fully covered.
The staff was amazing. The environment of the hostel is calm, good to relax with beds, sofas located in the garden also. The breakfast was amazing.

Belgium- Barely any space for your stuff in the dorm, so you have to move other people's stuff all the time to get to your stuff. - 2 showers for a lot of people, and the shower curtains didn't close the shower off properly. People were closing off the bathroom area to have some privacy because of that, but the rest had to wait longer to use a shower.
- good location - cozy garden - work out area - good breakfast.

Australia2 showers for each sex may not be enough, but it was not an issue at all during my stay. Ideally, I'd suggest to swap (or have an option to) pancakes with an egg(s). Hikers need their protein!)
Amazing staff, and awesome breakfast (2 type of fruit, and huge pancakes, with syrup and coffee).

United KingdomThe triple bunk beds are pretty shaky, I was thankful not to be put on a top bunk.
Super friendly hostel with group walks organised every day by volunteers. A good place to meet other travellers! The hostel is well located, there is a fresh produce market just down the road. Communal kitchen was handy and the garden is peaceful. Would recommend to anyone wanting a base to do some hiking and relax in El Valle :)

Germany- What I didn't like at all were the rooms. They were triple bunk beds. An absolute no-go in my eyes - No shelf by the bed - Booking does not say that it is a 14-bed dorm. We would never have booked it that way. - The room is far too small for so many people. Super messy and not enough space for all the backpacks. Of course, it always depends on how tidy the guests are. - the mattresses rustle with every movement and so it is a bit uncomfortable to sleep
- Very nice hostel, with a large garden - very social - Staff very friendly and helpful - Kitchen is large and clean and invites you to cook - Breakfast is delicious, sufficient and included in the price - the hostel regularly offers joint tours - great location, right on the street with the bus stop right outside the door and supermarkets, restaurants and the market very close by

NetherlandsPillows were not comfortable… But I had a similar experience in other hostels, so I guess they are what you pay for. Personally, I placed two of the provided towels under the pillow to be able to sleep. The fan did not rotate, but we didn’t ask for it to be changed because my parents said it was ok to leave it like that.
Location was perfect! And it wasn’t noisy despite being right on the Main Street. I really liked that there was a yoga room with mats, they came really handy to do my regular mobility exercises :D There are also multiple activities offered at the reception, we did the trip to Pozo Azul’s waterfalls and loved it! Highly recommended

Awesome location in the centre of Anton! Staff was super friendly and helped us plan activities for our stay. The place seems to attract some very chilled guests which was an added bonus. Our room was very simple but clean and comfortable. The shared bathrooms and kitchen were also well maintained. Plus the complimentary breakfast was delicious!
