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...).

PortugalNothing much. I was just kinda surprised there were no consumables toiletries except for toilet paper, body wash and hand wash. But it's fine Not an issue for me really.
The staff were friendly, especially the receptionist. The waiting area was comfortable and clean. Our room was very clean and it smelled really nice. The location was really convenient. It's close by everything like bus terminal, restaurants, bank.

United KingdomEverything. A really nice and comfortable hostel. Beds are amazing in the dorms, plenty of space. The thing I liked most was there was an actual changing room across the hall from the bedroom so you weren't making noise getting showered and dressed while others guests where sleeping or chilling in bed. The kitchen is fully equipped and plenty of cutlery etc. The staff are really friendly as well. Ill definitely stay here the next time I visit Faro, thanks. 😊

A separate locker room is a good feature - you can sort your stuff in good light without disturbing anyone. The wooden bed frames with curtains round were good and better than the usual metal frames in hostels

NetherlandsI had issues with running warm water in the evening (no trouble in the morning) - I had a private room. I would welcome more storage/hangers Given the lack of storage, the pillows were a little too much (there's 6 in total). If there's two people in the room, they would hardly fit
Amazing location Joao was the best receptionist one could ask for Super comfortable bed Clean, well kept and newly reconstructed premises Fully equipped kitchen Quiet (given the time of the year)

BelgiumOne small thing was that it was noisy outside at ninth because the room window faced the street and there are some bars and restaurants opening late. But they served earplugs so this would help in some degree
It has a great location near the train station and the seaside. The bed was good and the bathroom was equipped well. Staffs were friendly and sent me an instruction for check-in in detail.

United KingdomBed is a bit hard but it’s still good
I like the bathroom, I stayed in the female dormitory for 4. Great location - like 5 mins walk to the flixbus/ bus station. Shops nearby- staff are lovely and the lounge room is great - it’s a perfect location with everything near by. I felt very safe as a woman. Portugal is very diverse which also made me feel comfortable. Also comes with towels which is perfect, lounge has a mini vending machine and there is washing machine/ iron for use (washing machine use requires a cost)
