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 KingdomThey did not let us check in, and the staff was very rude. no one was available at the reception, although we paid the rent in full in advance. but they did not let us stay. worst experience ever. despite of paying in full, we just wanted to stay in their lobby, but the owner was very angry, threatened us that they will call the police. we informed them earlier that our flight was delayed, but they did not pay any heed. we had left in the middle of the night. I and my friend stayed outside on the roads ..were completely helpless.

United KingdomWorst behaviour I have ever received in my life. We missed the check in time. Then I requested them to let us sit in the guest room at least. We paid our money and the response we get was terrible. We were waiting in the garden in a cold night. They threatened us to leave the place, otherwise they told us that they will call the police. It was a late night. We missed the check in time we agreed. They should at least let us stay in the garden area. They were so rude. I would never recommend this place.
Very bad.

IrelandNothing really apart from the fact that it was a bit far from the centre of Albufeira but there is a bus. However it is walkable and a pleasant walk.
Very attractive building in an exclusive part of Albufeira. A big supermarket 5 minutes walk from the hostel. Good kitchen, toilets and showers.

DenmarkI travel two or three times a month as a travel blogger and solo traveler and always book rooms through booking.com but I have never faced such a horrible situation. The worst time of my life was spent in this hotel. because they are not good people at all and treated me terribly. I was delayed by 10 minutes due to my flight but I informed the hotel in advance by message but they didn't do any Compromise for me, instead they were very rude and didn't let me check in that day due to which I spent the whole night out that day that's called homeless. I had already paid the hotel rent for two days. After staying out all night, I went to the hotel again the next day at 12 noon for checking in. But they misbehaved me again and told me that it is not possible to check in the hotel before 2 pm, but I paid two days in advance. I had booked the hotel from the day before. Then I checked into the hotel after spending three hours outside again. After checking into the hotel, I found the condition to be very terrible. No match to the picture as they posted booking.com Inside, the room was very dirty. The door of the toilet was broken. In a word we can count as cheaters. I reported the whole matter to booking.com customer care, booking.com tried to contact them but the property authorities did not contact booking.com. This is what booking.com told me as my e-mail. So this is my suggestion for everyone, don't waste your beautiful and precious time in this hotel.
I thought for a long time but could not find anything to like here. But their swimming pool was nice.

I don't recommend it even to an enemy! There is no security at all, and what's worse is the contact phone number, the customer service was super rude and hung up on me 3 timesand then didn't answer again, in fact I don't know how this" place" is on booking note - 10

ItalyThis was not my first stay in this place but just because I don't remember where I have stayed in the past or where I haven't. But the process of checking in I remember that has always been traumatic. The first time I remember I was asked to wait until the hour of checking in, while the ladies were laughing and playing games among them. And at that time the stay was horrible. I did a comment on Google at that time , and after this new booking the site offered me 5 points to take my comment back. But after this second experience I believe that first comment won't be deleted. This time another young girl with no attitude of service at all, made me wait for 35 minutes for the check-in, but this time I arrived one hour after the established hour. The situation was, the lady having fun with two guests that arrived before me and she totally forgot about me. And the excuse she gave to me was that the bed wasn't done yet because previous guests don't exit the hostel on time, so at 3:45 pm she started to prepare my bed. Completely unacceptable. This is the worst hostel you can chose. And I don't do other important and puntual comments because they will ask booking to delete them tagging me as a racist. But the people who stay in this place I doubt they're tourists.
The only thing I like of this place is the price. But I could not stay for more than one day. There's a pool but is not inviting. There's young smiling staff but they're not in an attitude of service and they don't do their job properly. I
