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...).

United KingdomStaff were super friendly and accommodating, breakfast was great, always a little home cooked addition every morning. We met great people whilst staying there also. Martins let us check in early, even offered us breakfast on arrival. Provided lots of info on the island, free parking maps etc etc. kitchen and bathrooms were clean and very well equipped. Our bed was super super comfortable and the air con was a god send. Martins clearly takes a lot of pride in his hostel and great care with his customers.

FranceVery comfortable accomodation in the heart of the old town Very convenient location in Ponta Delgada Martins is an amazing host and he does everything in his power to please his customers. The kitchen is fully equipped and you can get fresh water from the dispenser. There are several showers and toilets and they're quite clean. The towels got changed several times during my 1 week stay, the bed and pillow are comfortable too. The breakfast is really good ( good quality coffee and fresh homemade pastries / cakes every morning)

GermanyIt can get quite busy with the bathrooms and they were not always super clean. It gets loud during the night as it's a central street. It felt pricey for only a room with shared bathroom but that seem to be the prices here.
Friendly host who prepares a different breakfast every morning. It was tasty. The beds were super comfy.

I loved everything. Martins is a special host, devoted to his job and the all clients. He offered two bottles of azores wine. The hostel is very clean. It has a nice kitchen, usefull to cook, especially when it's difficult to book at the restaurant. Martins prepares everyday a special breakfast for his clients. I felt at home.

United StatesIt was a bit of a walk to a bigger lot with (available) free parking once we picked up a car, and there was only one bathroom upstairs despite more rooms, but neither was a big deal and I would absolutely stay here again.
I'll echo others' sentiments that Martins is about as welcoming and helpful as can be (even without sharing a common language we are both fluent in!). It was very clean and quiet for a hostel. We had our own room with a balcony and it was comfortable. The water was hot in the shower. Breakfast included a wide spread. Martins was easy to communicate with for a quick ride from the airport on a rainy night for a very reasonable price. Laundry access was available for a suggested donation to contribute to electricity and soap. It was only a short walk into downtown to see the sights.

United StatesThe only downside is noise coming from outside, but that is expected as the hostel is centrally located, in the area full of restaurants and nightlife.
Martins (the owner) runs a very clean facility. Great location, close to everything. The available breakfast 'buffet' was great and much better than expected in a hostel.

LuxembourgThere isn’t a space to dry clothes if it is raining, the area for hanging clothes to dry is outside which is great but if you’re drying off clothes that got wet in the rain and it continues to rain there’s nowhere to hang clothes.
The property was well placed in the centre or PD as well as being near to the free parkings so I could easily go out and explore the island. Martin the owner is amazing, it’s a passion project you can see, he varies the breakfast everyday and bakes fresh goods. The bathrooms and rooms are clean and spacious and the bed sheets and towels are provided free.

I recently had my first ever experience staying in a hostel, and Bruma Hostel set the bar incredibly high! From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with open arms by the wonderful host, Martins, who made me feel right at home. The atmosphere at Bruma Hostel is warm and inviting, creating a perfect blend of comfort and community. The facilities are top-notch, with clean and cozy rooms, well-maintained common areas, and all the amenities you could need. The location is ideal, offering easy access to local attractions and public transport. Martins truly went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was enjoyable. His friendly demeanor and willingness to help with anything I needed made a huge difference. He provided great recommendations for local dining and activities, and even organized some fun group events that allowed me to meet and connect with fellow travelers. Overall, my stay at Bruma Hostel was superb. The combination of excellent facilities, a welcoming atmosphere, and the exceptional hospitality from Martins made it an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend Bruma Hostel to anyone looking for a memorable and enjoyable stay. Thank you, Martins and the Bruma Hostel team, for making my first hostel experience one to remember!

It is one of the best hostels I have stayed in! Not only it's clean, it's spacious, it feels like home, and the owner is adorable (just 3 words: fresh homemade cake every morning!), but everything you always thought "would be nice if..." has already been thought and put there for you. A nice full kitchen? YES. A comfortable shelf and bag where to put your things while in bed (with curtains obviously)? YES. Washing machine and place to hang your clothes? YES. And so much more :)
