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...).

I traveled during low season, so there were just a few people, plenty of space and amazing cleanness. The position was great for those who have a car: close to the city center, but so easy to park (for free). Amazing view of the Ocean from the terrace. The staff was available and lovely. Really nice breakfast. The room super clean, cozy and warm, with A/C or heating.

The seaside walk, close enough to central town and a very nice group of people was attracted to this place. The staff person was professional and helpful. Easy access via the code and entry. We were able to leave our two pieces of luggage at facility a bit before check-in. That was so helpful.

GermanyNot the fault of the place, just make sure to have an agreement between roomates on the AC during the night, in my case someone simply kept the remote 😞
Friendly staff, not on-site 24/7, but reachable and very helpful. The common space an terrace are nice and give some socialising opportunities. Overall good atmosphere and clean with enough bathroom options. Not right in the town center but a pleasant walk along the water and the marina to town. 15min by taxi from the airport. Yes, there is also a major road but for that price, the terrace with seaview and pool is more than I asked.

United StatesIt's self check in and out, there was no one there to help you with anything. You have to make and unmake your own bed. The location is really far out of the city (25-30min walk), you can see the city limits sign right next to the hostel. The breakfast was tiny and there really weren't many options. For the price, there are so many better hostels in the center of Ponta Delgada. There's only one toilet per floor and 2-3 rooms on each floor. Lastly, there's air conditioning in the rooms but they took all the remotes away.
The roof terrace was nice, everything else left a lot to be desired.

United StatesStaff did not respond to my phone call or.text until about 24 hours later (may have been longer)I was only staying 2 nights. Also they do not provide much food even if you are there early for breakfast. Coffee was colored water no taste. My room was next to front door which is poorly designed making multiple banging sounds very loud with each entry or exit

United KingdomLocation right on the coast, I could see the ocean from my room. The hostel is kept very clean and overall it is a great place to have a rest after hiking, although it is a bit of a walk from the city centre. I would still come back to this hostel though.

NetherlandsFirst I booked the 4 person dorm. Because I would arrive late at night, I wanted to upgrade to a private room. I didn't want to disturb the other guests. It was really tedious when I tried upgrading the room. I felt they were teasing me. They wanted me to cancel and pay the full amount before I should pay again to have the other room. After two days of tedious contact I contacted booking.com, but by then the private room was already booked. When I arrived at 1 am, it was impossible to not wake up the other guests. The upper bed was not prepared and making the upper bed in the dark was impossible. At 5 am I was woken up by people from another room, because you could hear everything. It wasn't sound proof at all.
