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...).

United StatesThe good: The location is on a bus line. There is a small, city beach nearby. The kitchen and bathrooms are cleaned daily. The bad: The room is very dark, fully concrete, with one window opening to an indoor hallway. The beds are too low to the floor. There is no furniture for placing belongings, making it necessary to keep everything in the suitcase, on the floor. The staff behave as though they have meet too many needy tourists.

United StatesI wish they would give more of a heads up if someone was arriving at the all female dorm. Also, the bathrooms need better ventilation because it smelled at some points.
I felt safe because there were cameras and there’s a buzzer at the door. Also, the girls I stayed with were nice

GermanyThey sent me so many messages before arrival so obviously the one with the important info got lost in there, I did not see I had to fill in an online form and had to do it at reception while still carrying all my things. This process could be improved: think that some of your guests do not have data while traveling and cannot follow all the emails. The room was tiny and without any windows and no table so we had to open our bags on the floor; my provided towel was stained; they have so many extra fees in the policy that are ridiculous (if you stain the towel it's 15$ but they provided a stained one?!). Does not feel welcoming. The price is ok but for just a few extra bucks I booked an amazing hotel in the same neighborhood which was much better. If you're solo and looking for a dorm I guess it's ok but I wouldn't come back for a private room.
The location was great, easy to park around, never had to wait for a shower. Well equipped kitchen and nice balcony.

United StatesNo real amenities to speak of. The room/facilities were pretty run down but for somewhere to crash, it was fine.
Easy to get around the island. Very close to the beach as well as bus lines to get around the city. Easy to meet people and go exploring.

United StatesThere were ants in the room but this was a very small issue, didn't really mind them. The AC was blowing to our faces when we slept even though we put the temperature quite high. The location was good in a sense that you could walk to the beach, but apparently the area wasn't the safest.
The beds were great, kitchen was good and the fact that there weren't too many people in the hostel, so small rooms for two persons were great. For the money you pay for staying here the place is really good.

United StatesThe stair was a bit of a pain if you're staying on 3rd or 4th floor. The room we had (2 beds, private) was not very well lit with old furniture and rather dusty (doesn't look a lot like on photos). Air not very well ventilated in the room.
Well-stocked kitchen. Balcony has decent view. Common areas are clean. Decent location but expect to walk 10-15 mins to the more livelier part of town.

United StatesThe mattress was not the most comfortable. The quietness was affected by roommates. Most nights that was okay, but staying in a hostel can be hit or miss.
I specifically chose this hostel because it was within walking distance of my daughter's/grandchildren's location. So in that sense, the location was perfect for me. For someone coming as a tourist, the location MIGHT not be optimal. Also, it was very hot in September, so the AC in my room was a welcome respite at night. My daughter, living on the same block, had two power outages (which is still a chronic problem 6 years after Hurricane Maria) but the hostel seemed unaffected.

United StatesNo wake up call if u have phone issues my phn got wet and there was no other way to get a wake up call for my flight. They had alarm clocks but no batteries for them to work. Front desk chick seemed annoyed that I asked for some help. Computer on the second floor doesn't work so trying to find an alternative resource was also a fail. Do better for the next guests. These things need to be functional not just decor
Everything was Kool limited parking if u have a car.
