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...).

United StatesExcellent location, modern and comfortable accommodation, with easy code access to the premises. Patricia and Helena were very helpful and super friendly. We were able to check in early as our room was ready, but they have lockers in the lobby to leave your luggage in any case. They provided extra towels for the thermal pools. Good breakfast buffet and great coffee. Obrigada por tudo! We would definitely stay there again.

FinlandNear the airport. In the center of the city. Very clean and well maintained. Friendly and helpful staff. Made my trip convinient and got proper rest for a solo traveler like me. Went in March, seems to be low season. Booked in the hostel and had the room to myself for 7 days. And breakfast was included which was nice.

CanadaAmazing place, the staff really care about providing a top notch and comfortable hostel experience. The attention to detail with cleanliness, comfort, and convenience is impressive. The breakfasts are plentiful and nicely presented. The dorm rooms are arranged in a way that each bed has a good amount of privacy. The location is central in town, yet the building is quiet and peaceful from outside noise. I highly recommend Ilha Hostel, and look forward to returning!

Location very close to the city centre and easy to leave/access Ponta Delgada at the same time. Parking spots available nearby, some free some with payment (had the misfortune that my car was vandalised during the night). Spacious bathroom, lovely host and nice breakfast!

United StatesThe location is great, close to the center of town with a nice restaurant right across the street . Quiet and restful despite being close to many of the main sites in town. Staff were very friendly and helpful with suggestions and arranging an early morning taxi. Breakfast was lovely with an outdoor seating area if you desired. Room was clean and comfortable. I was in 6 bed, women only area. I would stay here again as it was safe, convenient, comfortable and a great value. Highly recommend!!

SloveniaThis is one of the best hostels I ever stayed in. It's like being in a premium hotel where you share a room with random people. The staff are exceptionally nice, the rooms are clean, nicely sized and with great amenities. It's in a great location and very quiet. The key code access system is also really practical. The breakfast is nice, I was accomodated when I asked for soy milk. If I ever come back, I'm definitely staying here again.

BelgiumIt was very organised. Prior to your arrival you receive a code which you can use to enter the building, the room and your locker. The room had its private bathroom with all the necessary facilities. The beds were comfortable, with a curtain for extra privacy which I could really appreciate. The breakfast in the morning was outstanding and there was a pleasant atmosphere at the dining area.
