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.).

SwitzerlandI stayed few days in this hostel and it was such a good experience. Very friendly, a lot of activity and the Equipement is very nice (sport, gaming, tables games) thank you to Laura one of the animatrice, she’s very friendly with everyone and she gives a very good energy. One bad thing there is a problem with some locker in the room

NetherlandsThe price is quite high for a bed that is shaking if you sit down. The curtains provide very little privacy. Some of the staff is very helpfull but some can give a little attitude.
Nice common area. Good location for catching the ferry. Appreciate that the hostel provided a towel.

IsraelThe place is a dorms hostel. The private room is in the same area as the dorms. The room was not properly cleaned. Stained sheets, dust near the bed, shower had a lot of sand in it and the room always had a funky smell and a small window in the bathroom.
The vibe is cool. Bed was comfortable and shower was good.

Close to pier and centre. Pool table, PS4, weights and other games. Owner spoke English. Other staff friendly and helpful.

United KingdomBunk beds were very basic and squeaky so we felt bad anytime we had to move position. Would've been great to have lockers for each person for security. The room was unlocked each time we entered which, although nothing was taken, and we generally felt safe, isn't great considering people's valuables are in the room with no option to secure them inside anywhere.
The location was excellent. Very close to the beach, few minutes walking distance. It was also very close to the pier where a lot of day trips departed from and our ferries to and from the island. A large communal space is great for somewhere else to relax without disturbing others in the dorm. The hammock was also a nice touch. The staff were really friendly and accommodating.

United KingdomIt was a bit stuffy and only a window into the hallway. The toilet didn’t flush and you had to take the back off to flush it, the walls are very thin so you can here partying down the street as if it’s in the next room over.
It was the best price room available on the island last minute and overall was fine. Aircon and fan worked well. Great WiFi speeds and a comfy shared space downstairs with a pool table and hammock

JapanThe lights in the bathroom were broken the whole time (we stayed 3 nights but people told us it was broken before we arrived too). Showering at night I had to use a flashlight or it was pitch black. They also didn't clean the bathroom at all while we were there and the trashcan was overflowing.
Nice location near the pier. Friendly staff. They gave us towels for free (a lot of places charge a deposit or rental fee).

United KingdomBunk beds aren't comfortable - the springs in them are destroyed. One of them caved in when you sit on it to either lounge or sort something out. The bed frames are wobbly and will move even at the slightest of movements. It's fine a layover or bed to sleep for one or two nights - not a long stay
Staff are great. The bar area is a nice chill out spot that you can chat to your mates or play games with - Uno, connect 4, cards, PS4, switch, etc. WiFi is alright as well - not the greatest, not the worst. Located halfway up a hill on the main strip from the pier and 15mins walk max to sairee beach
