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.).

United KingdomCouple of noisey people coming into the bedroom at 5am. This is perfectly normal for a hostel. Just wish they had been more considerate. Not the hostels fault though
Great place to also book all your tours and activities. Christina was very helpful and polite.

FranceUpon arrival it looks like a booking agent shop and it isn't obvious it's also the reception. The room doors don't lock, no keys or key cards are used so anyone staying at the hostel can enter any rooms. No body at reception after 11pm so just a code is needed to enter the building. The all female dorm and the private room next to it all share one toilet and one shower so it was a long wait to have a shower when 5+ others were also using the same toilet/shower. The window is big enough to climb in or out and it is left open at night by other guests due to heat and it's at ground level and has no barriers. Also there was snot on the wall next to the bed 🤢
Super location, comfortable beds, towels bedsheets provided. Nice common spaces. Nice start. They are okay to keep your bags after check out.

GermanyUnfortunately the bathroom stank, the room had a direct door (and view) to the joint terrace and there were a lot of noises in the room (fridge, air conditioner).
We had the biggest room for two, it was very spacious, we got bed sheets and towels inclusive and there even was the possibility to get a clean up every morning. It’s a small hostel and very well located!

AustraliaI didn’t enjoy getting called out through the cameras for “not completing dishes”. One cleaned pot filled with water and a strainer that requires air drying. Receptionist made it out we left a huge mess and seemed like a petty move. We’d already stayed at the hostel for two days and had already seen worst. Also there’s two showers in the 10 bed dorm, however the showers run on the same pipe and the not really private. Can see silhouettes.
Decently placed in town, close to the beach but away from busy Main Street. Good use of kitchen, PIN code to into the building and key for storage space. Towel is provided

GermanyMany people break the rules, for example from 00:00 to 06:00 should be not allowed cooking in the kitchen, and overall to be kept quiet around the facilty. I must tell no one cared, people cooked, shouted ,came in and out of the rooms and left the doors open and windows like they were living by themselves. Door had lock issues for like 3 days, my bed was straight in front of the door, i cannot tell you how frustrating was to keep closing it because the others in the room either didnt cared or actually liked the sensation of sleeping in constant noise light and cold caused by the A/C and the open window which had opening straight in the busy street full of drunk people during the night. Be careful to write your name on your food and drink that you want to storage in the fridge, i woke up one day with my bottle of coca cola almost empty. Last ,and not make it too long , sheets havent been changed in my entire 12 nights stay only the towels.
Excellent location ,close to old town and the main fishermans beach. Nice terrace,and ability to cook. Friendly staff.
