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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

GermanyI had a great stay at Hostel Árvore, it was clean and everything one needs was there, including a little kitchen with coffee machine and some snacks. I felt safe as an alone travelling woman. The city centre and the harbour was easy reachable by foot.

IrelandWhat was not to like.?
I loved the hostel. It was exceptionally clean. Very comfortable. Well appointed. It has a lovely kitchen and dining room. Also a relaxing outdoor terrace. The owner ,Rui , was a most helpful host. He even provided back medication for a pulled muscle. He also took the time and trouble to ease a potential problem at the airport.Our sincere thanks to Rui. My friend and I had a very enjoyable stay. We will be back to Hostel A Casa da Arvore.

United KingdomRooms are not sound deadened, but this is impossible to solve considering the building. So as others have mentioned bring ear plugs.
Recently renovated townhouse slightly to the North of Faro. Rui is extremely helpful and wants you to have a good stay. The rooms are spacious and comfortable and cleaned spotlessly. There's also a convenient kitchen and courtyard to relax before you think about your day. An old world stay with an up-to-date-twist. Breakfast can be sorted from the cafe's around the corner.

BelgiumDon't look any further. It's a perfect place to stay at Faro. Historical centre, shops, city centre, ferry, warehouse and many more on walking distance. The hostel is a warm welcome home when traveling. The host answers all your questions immediately and ensures that everything is neatly cleaned every day. You can also use leftovers from products left behind by guests. Practical and ecological. I stayed there for a full week with my daughter and it was the perfect base to visit Faro and the surrounding beaches and towns. Thank you very much Rui for your personal, warm approach and for the stylish decoration.

IndiaI could only talk about having the washroom detached from the room itself. But then that is always reiterated before you make your booking. Nonetheless, it is a unique experience if you want to look at it the other way.
Impeccably clean. That is how Rui had set up our room and washroom. The rest of the hostel was neatly kept as well. He is very warm and courteous as a person.
