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...).

GermanyThe hostel and the people who worked there are nice and helpful but speak little English. I didn't put many start for this hostel because when I tried to rich them thru the phone different numbers and email they wouldn't reply on my questions. Booking says check in is from 1 to 3pm but I couldn't make it so I asked if they will be there later. The communication there doesn't work before u get there. Unfortunately u can't get any answers of u r not in the hostel yet. And in my opinion it is very important to be able to respond and pck up the phone. They actually even hanged up on me once and other times never picked up.

FranceSqueaky, basic beds but definitely ok for the price you pay.
The localisation, you can easily walk to the town center and they lend you bike for free. The overall atmosphere is great, really feels like a laid back hostel. The host was super friendly and helpful to find hikes around the hostel.

United StatesThe room was super dark (walls painted black/dark gray) with only dim lighting and no outdoor window in the bedroom -- just a window to the social area. On our first night, music was loud until late (but they turned it off when asked). The room is attached to the social area, so you can hear other guests conversation just on the other side of the door.
The ambience was really nice, very cool art and decoration, parking was extremely secure, short 5-10 minute walk to downtown, really friendly staff, great tips for local activities.

Belgiumsupercool hostel with a very laid back vibe, facilities are good, warm water in the shower and beautifully located. The staff is super friendly and helpful and the two dogs of the place are always in the come along on a hike. The kitchen is equipped very well and wifi is fast. Shops are nearby and there are also bikes available. By far the best place to stay in Valle de Anton.

United KingdomIt could do with a bit of sprucing up. The room is very cramped with few places to put bags.
The hostel had a really nice atmosphere. Everyone was chatty and they have two lovely dogs who follow you into town and on hikes, and a lovely cat. Juan is really helpful, although he doesn't speak English. There are volunteers working at the hostel as well though. They clean all day, but the floor and walls are bare concrete, so it looks like it's dirty, even though it's thoroughly disinfected etc.

Czech RepublicSufficient for simple bed, roof and bathroom, but you should also note this: - very small space in the dorms, crowded like sardines - sewage smell in common areas - no place tu put things next to your bed or even from the bag, just tiny lockers, everything else on the ground - no electric plugs, just one central pile of chargers in the common area - sweaty, sticky, dusty everywhere - cracked toilet seat, toulet didn't flush for a half day - dog and cat hair, they walk even to the dorms - loud ventilators, metal lockers and waterpipes, it wakes you up everytime enyone use them
- good vibe - overview of acivities - alright location

PanamaDue to the lack of rooms, we had to spent most of the day looking for a place to stay. It was a waste of time and money.
I couldn't enjoy the hostel because according to the staff, rooms were overbooked by the website (Booking).

FranceIt was very dirty. The sheets of my bed were ripped off and could see the mattress below, which was torn off as well. The room itself was very dirty, as well as the bathroom. The bathroom lock didn't work properly and got myself stuck inside until the staff came and had to break the door. Afterwards we couldn't use that bathroom cause the door wouldn't close. There are lots of campers in the garden of the hostel during the weekends, and they made a lot of noise until late at night. Also, there are some sofas on the common area, but they really stink and so nobody can enjoy them.
The staff was very nice and the kitchen well equipped

PanamaIn the midle of the night someone turn off the ceiling fan and it was hot inside. We also plugged our cellphones to charge and the electricity was cut off along with the ceiling fan switch. Please do not let that switch be handled by customers. The couch outside had a lot of dog smell, I really like dogs but it says a lot about the cleaning
the kitchen was complete, and the people is really nice. only spent 1 night and it's very close to the town and the places to visit
