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 KingdomThe guy in reception at night on the 24th September was very unfriendly/ unapproachable. Not even saying good night after I said it to him. No acknowledging the clients when coming in. No people skills. Rest of staff very helpful and friendly specially Jessica.
Perfect location in the heart of the Old Town. Facilities are clean, modern and nicely decorated. Terrace is spacious and comfortable

United KingdomThe beds aren't the comfiest, the AC in the room could've been stronger to work well. Night it was OK but during the day, despite the room having the blinds closed it would get very warm. One of the shower handles was a bit broken and it wasn't the nicest shower. Two in an 8 bed room was tough. Especially when you can kind of see the other person showering through the frosted glass.
I was able to check in late with security at 11pm so I was grateful for that. The place is kept clean everyday and the cleaner is very respectful and quiet. It's in a perfect central location. And with the (small) kitchen and (huge) terrace it's possible to be friendly and social easily with people you meet.

United StatesThe only things I didn’t like were that there was no lock on the door to the room so technically anyone could enter. Also there were no curtains on the bed and I would have liked a little more privacy.
The hostel was super clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly and accommodating. My favorite part was the huge terrace on the back! Would definitely stay again!

ItalyOn Friday night May 3rd, I returned at 00:30 and there was a man at the entrance with the door open. So I wasn't sure if the people inside the terrace were actually guests of the hostel or people entering without any supervision. This is very delicate, since a policy of hostels in general is: THE HOSTEL IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR OBJECTS LOST DURING THE PERMANENCE IN THE ESTABLISHMENT. so, situations like this make the guests vulnerable to anyone who deliberately enters if there's no control of this door code.
The place is wonderful and spacious. It may be plenty of people but you don't feel it crowded. about the staff: Jesica Is a great host, very friendly and worried about your stay in the place. And the owner, who is a Portuguese lady, a very polite woman who has rules and politics to guarantee a pleasant stay in the city. This is the best hostel in Albufeira.

United KingdomToilet seat was very narrow and very uncomfortable. The shower floor was uneven, causing the water flow out to the drain very slowly.

United KingdomThe location of this hostel is very good, only five minutes walk to the beach, and the commercial street is right in front of the door, which is very convenient for eating and shopping. Especially the front door of the restaurant O Catraio, I ate here for two consecutive days, good value for money, the waiter is also very warm and friendly! The female clerk was also very friendly and when I was debating dinner she recommended a great burger! In addition, this hostel is super clean and has a balcony, living room and kitchen, which is great!

Slovakiathe kitchen is kind of small and gets super crowded even if two people are cooking at once. Also there is just one fridge, so if the hostel is full, it could be a struggle to fit something in - there are no "proper" chairs, so if you plan on working during your stay, your back will have a hard time - when i asked about direction to hostel i was told to "consult google maps". The public transportation does not work 100 % according google maps and it can get really confusing. A little advice would be much appreciated. It is very common practice to include direction from airport to the hostel, i absolutely do not understand this unfriendly approach.
a really beautiful hostel! Everything is new and it shows. Nice decoration, everything is clean and the whole hostel smells very nice (unusual benefit:) - the location could not be better, just a minute or two long walk to beach - rooms were spacious and my room shared bathroom only with one private room - amazing balcony - food store is right on the same street - staff was nice
