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...).

CanadaNo AC? Not enough plugs in the rooms for everyone or far away from your bed. Mold on the bathroom walls and ceiling… The guests do not respect other’s sleep, I argued with people at 3 am to keep quiet!!! The hosts should tell them to their face as they come in that silence after 10pm must be respected.
Very nice hosts. Water refill is a game changer.

PortugalI needed to share one bathroom with 10 people so that was not that nice There were rules to be quiet after 22h00 but this was not respected by many guests. At 3 am I heard people screaming and laughing a lot. Every time i wanted to go to the toilet there was no toilet paper
I had a nice stay. During the day was very relaxing on the swimmingpool. Airconditioning in the rooms amazing

PortugalSome guests are rude and uncooperative. They just don't care about following the hostel rules, such as cleanliness and security. As a matter of fact, there should be a night guard so guests feel safe, and the crazy ones refrain from making a ruckus. It'll be great even for Juliana and Maiara. Apart from that, I had fun, and l plan to come back soon, mainly because of the girls. Cheers!
I really liked the two girls who take care of the place. Juliana and Maiara were really helpful and kind. I plan to go back to the hostel while both of them are there. Felt like home, really.

IndiaLocation is very far from the centre, public transport is nearby but very less frequency and not proper timing. . Public transport is costly and time consuming. Room cleaning not done regularly may be once in a week.

CanadaBunk beds could have been a bit more substantial. This is a common issue in hostels.
The location was excellent. It is within a reasonable walking distance of the main bus terminal in Albufeira and has a major grocery store (with outside laundry kiosk) close by.

SpainI asked for a lower bunk due to a disability and was given an upper bunk even though the place wasn’t full. They have a cat that sneaks in and sleeps in the beds who is super cute and friendly but as someone with an allergy I was happy to have a sleeping bag with me. The receptionist didn’t speak enough English to understand my request to change. As others have said, no locks on the room doors. Also, the location is fine with a car but without one would be completely inaccessible.
Cool building with good common spaces if there had been more people staying during my trip. The place was clean and comfortable. The cat that sneaks in is adorable.
