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 StatesGreat customers service, staff explained everything, nice location close to the beach, cvs, and restaurants and very clean room. You can’t eat inside your room (private or shared) this surprised me a bit. Fridays and Saturdays they have karaokê until midnight so don’t expect to sleep before that. But in general was a good experience.

NetherlandsAlthough the checkin lady was very nice, the hospitality of the staff can improve overall. My keycard was stolen by another guest, but I had to pay for a new card. Also, when I asked a question, I noticed the receptionist rolling her eyes when she turned away.
When checking in, I was greeted very nice. The lady was very friendly and helpful. The location was very good. It was near bus stops, shopping facilities and near the beach. The hostel itself is as you would expect from a hostel. Although there were some dirty spots and some drawings on the linnen and some dirt on the floor, it is overall what I expected. Be aware to wear flipflops tho. I got athletes foot within 2 or 3 days. So don't expect a nice, modern, and super clean room when booking this hostel.

United StatesI didn’t appreciate that I had to pay $50 tax for something that was not clearly indicated when I booked. I mean, increase the price so it reflects rather than make people feel mislead. It’s a bad PR..
Overall, the place is great! I stayed in a 6-person female dorm, which was partly occupied, making it quite comfortable. The room was cleaned daily, although the towels could have been washed better. They always smelled a bit off, so I ended up using my own towels. Since they provide towels, though, I would suggest washing them properly. The location is fantastic—on a lovely, quiet street but right in the center of everything. The staff was friendly, and the shared areas were nice. Overall, I would definitely return, especially considering how affordable it is compared to other options in Miami. With some upgrades, this place could become amazing, but even now, it's perfect for anyone who doesn’t want to spend $1,000 for a 6-night stay and still wants to enjoy the trip.

United StatesCleanliness leaves a lot to be desired... The shower looks old. Not sure if they actually clean the room during my stay. The bed is not comfortable but for the price I think it's pretty fair. I would have liked a curtain to have some privacy in the bed. The plugs next to the bed didn't work, so I had trouble charging my phone.
The location of this hostel is great! Everything is within easy walking distance: beach, activities, restaurants... Not all staff are friendly, but they're always on hand to help if needed. Room rates are really affordable. That's a pretty good deal considering the price of Miami Beach hotels. The beach is really pretty.

United StatesIt was a good stay except they refused to give me back my deposit because I didn't check out until 1 pm instead of 11 am. That is a lie. I told the staff that I was checking out at 11 am and that my suitcase is in one of the lockers and was coming back to get it around 1 pm for my flight.

NetherlandsI think they had a bit too many rules. It really feels like they don't trust anyone. And you will not get your deposit back when you check out, you have to wait a couple of days before its back.
Location is great! Common areas were nice and the room was good also with seperate toilet and shower.

United StatesWould have been nice to have a Television in the room, and a little better English at the front desk. Kind of hard for me to communicate since I don't speak Spanish It is loud with all the partying and could be heard from both our rooms on two separate nights. (Pre and Post Cruise) Didn't really bother me that much but wanted to help others in case they don't like noise
location was awesome, room was extremely clean and beach was very close. Air conditioning worked great.

BrazilAs a hostel, I missed some facilities like the cooking ones, specially considering Miami Beach is not one of the places to find cheap restaurants. Moreover, I missed some leisure activities that were stated the place had, bit I couldn't find as Monday movies and games. During the karaoke nights, the sound was very loud even after the silence hours. I recommend the hostel review its karaoke hours to do not intersects to the silence hours.
Good place to sleep, and to meet and talk to new people. They provide beach towels in exchange of your ID while you go to the beach.
