Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

SwitzerlandThere could be some more possibilities to hang your stuff.
My stay was perfect. My room (6 - mixed) was clean, had its own bathroom with shower and a little balcony for wet clothes. The common areas were great and i loved the breakfast. Also the stuff was lovely. On top of all that they also had hostel-tours and they were a lot of fun! Not part but kind of a part of the hostel was the restaurant, which was really nice as well. The hostel does look like on the pictures.

CanadaWould be perfect if the beds could have curtains for a little more privacy. Some of the shared bathrooms need more hooks/shelves.
Perfect for a short stay, especially if travelling solo. Breakfast in the morning is the perfect place to meet other guests, form new travel plans, and generally make connections and going with the flow. Staff is always welcoming and caring, and really try to get to know you if if that's something you want. Rooms are clean, hostel-bunkbed style. Clean towels are provided and the shared bathrooms are generally clean. Location is great and walkable to major destinations in PDL. If renting a car, free overnight parking is available close by. This is my 2nd time staying at this location, since it checks most of the boxes for me. Private rooms are very nice as well, I would prefer that but they book up quite quickly during high season.

PortugalWe stayed in the attic room and it was not comfy . we could smell and see the humidity on the walls, celling and floor, and we had to come down a bunch of stairs to use the bathroom. In the mingle of the night it was not safe. I think it was the only room in this conditions but it’s not with the money
Staff was super friendly, especially Adrian who makes a warm welcoming! Breakfast was also delicious and the outdoor space is lovely.

A super-comfy bed, good shower with quality toiletries. We shared good conversation with other guests over complimentary breakfast in the garden, good coffee too. A nice experience for our last night in PD. Obrigado to the lovely staff staff at OOTB

We loved the design and layout. Super artistic. Also: the (not too big) breakfast was really nice. Staff was just sublime , super helpful. The bed also slept great.

Portugal-nice hosts, but could’ve done a better job informing us of how the reservations are made for activities. One of them only books until midnight for the next day, so couldn’t join the tour but only found out when it was too late :( -breakfast was just yoghurt cup and bread, you’ll want to have plans for the morning if you like a big breaky :)
- beautiful property. Everything was super clean in the private room. - nice hosts. Have group tours w other residents during the day :) - connected to a restaurant downstairs which stays open late, good for those chill nights in. -bedroom exactly as advertised in picture.

United StatesOur air conditioner unit kept auto turning off after 3 minutes and I couldn't figure out the system myself but that was just a me problem 😅
We LOVED out of the blue! Unfortunately my partner tested positive for covid the first night we checked in and we were unable to leave our room, but the staff was SO kind and helped us through our quarantine with fresh towels, takeaway food, and world class friendliness. Bed was huge and super comfortable. Shower was impeccably clean and perfectly heated for easing my partner's symptoms. Location was amazing as it was walking distance to several pharmacies. Our view of the garden was amazing and everyone seemed to be having a great time down there nightly. We will be coming back some day to experience the tours, meals, and other facilities!

It's very clean, the pool is great, the breakfast is amazing, the garden is beautiful. The Locker under the bed is big and the rooms too. The bathrooms are comfortable and very clean as well. The sharing of the terrace with the restaurant and the big common table gives you the opportunity to meet other people in the evening, which is nice. I stayed there at the beginning and the end of my stay and I almost felt like coming back home. The staff is extremely nice and helpful. I'd definitely love to go back! (Thank you to the whole team and special thanks to Kris & Luciaan.)

CanadaDon't go there if you need quiet indoors in the daytime. (lots of music blasting during the day while they clean, music in the garden during breakfast and you can hear people stepping on the stairs and exiting rooms quite loudly. But it's a hostel, and it was honestly the only negative thing I could find.
Loved the breakfast, the garden, and how accommodating they were with luggage and use of the garden area before check in and after check out. They also called us a cheap taxi on our way out. Beautiful hostel, great private room! Eat at the restaurant downstairs, their food is incredible.
