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...).

RomaniaThe 15 beds room. The beds were on 3 levels, not comfortable at all to climb until the 3rd bed...the bed sheets had stains and holes, made me feel uncomfortable. The place is old, hippie style. Good I spent 1 night, I was forced since the other hostel canceled my reservation. For the price you pay it is ok...but things can be improved (hygiene and quality of dorms).
The staff is very friendly and helpful. The free coffee in the morning was a nice surprise. They have activities, organize trekking groups ( pay and based on donations)

United KingdomI had to move rooms because the dorm smelled terribly of damp in the walls and because you only get a ceiling fan it actually makes it worse. I told the reception I have asthma and he was more than happy to help me move to another dorm They'll need to provide a humidifier that should sort the problem out.
The overall environment is superb with many people (back packers) from everywhere. The staff are simply super - Always there to help The wifi works great. Plenty of space to cook in the kitchen Location at the beginning of town is also good Hammocks to use Loads of space to chill out Bathroom is clean Bed very comfortable

PanamaThe cleanliness of the bathroom could improve. It was not dirty by any means but it could be better, the showers especially. The dorms could also use another bathroom.
Met amazing people and this includes the staff of the hostel. Very friendly, accommodating and available. The location is very good, close to local food places and main hikes. The staff made sure that people respected quiet hours. Well-equipped kitchen.

United StatesThe room felt a little mildewy, especially since the bathroom floor collected water that didn’t dry. Also we were kept up all night by the continuous barking of the hostel dogs - the rooms lead directly to the common space/ outdoor area so you hear everything and everyone

GermanyThe beds in the dorm seemed dingy and the double bunk bed in which we slept (right dorm, bed at the back right next to the toilet), was very instable and squeaked quite loud at the slightest movement.
Big common area with books, tables and couch, kitchen. Nice staff, clean bathroom, lockers for valuables.

PanamaWhen I booked I sent them an email asking about bikes, they asked me to text them via WhatsApp. On Instagram says free bikes for hosts, the manager told me this was not available, just renting for $3. He even told me they had e-bikes 1 week before our trip. This was the main reason I booked this place and that's why I tried to make sure they had bikes. Well, there are no bikes, the front office lady told me they don't even rent so why lying? I liked the place but this was dissapointing, I might not stay again there
It has a nice space, dogs, kitchen and we had privacy
