How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewAlice, the owner is super friendly. The place is amazing with a lot of space to chill outside, the kitchen is well equipped, there is two fridges you can use. They regularly offered us freshly picked coconut from the garden. The place is in a quiet area, 5 minutes away from the beach and about 10 minutes from the main street. And special shout-out to Bobo the dog. ❤️
In the dormitory, there's no curtain to stop the light from from coming in through the glass door. Not the fault of the hostel, but when we stayed, it was empty the first couple of day, such a shame.

Verified reviewCool vibe of this reggae themed place. Volunteer was friendly.
Cleanliness is not to a good standard. The nylon fitted sheets don’t fit properly on the old dirty mattresses. My body was covered in bites on the last morning there, they appear in the form of bed bug bites. The room is too cramped for the amount of beds. Not enough lockers for the number of beds. Dogs and cats can walk in and out of bedroom as they like.

Verified reviewChill vibe, close to the center. The kitchen was ok but outside
1) not enough lockers (4 for 6 people, one beeing broken) 2) dogs & cats could enter the bedroom, it was not giving a clean atmosphère. 3) the bedroom in General is too old and a bit dirty, so is the bathroom (used by people from the tents outside, which made them walk next to our beds to go to pee/shower) 4) the beds were very old, and the volonteer didn’t put the bed Sheets on the bed. The bedsheets were so old that they didn’t fit the bed anymore. Finally, my friend got bedbugs bites all over her body, and I got ants bites. 5) finally, the entrance was not closed, nor was our room, which makes it available for anyone
Hello, Alexis, We were surprised by your comment, especially considering the challenges your stay created for our volunteers. Both you and your friend left the space extremely dirty and disorganized, piling up dishes and disregarding basic house rules, including keeping the room tidy and using the speaker at a reasonable volume. To clarify your concerns: LOCKERS: The room has four lockers for guests, as two beds are reserved for volunteers who have their own. ANIMALS: Dogs and cats are part of the environment and well cared for, while rooms are regularly cleaned. CLEANLINESS: Bathrooms and rooms are cleaned frequently. Though simple, we prioritize organization and guest comfort. BEDS AND BEDDING: Sheets are provided at check-in, and it’s the guest’s responsibility to set them up. Our team is available for assistance if needed. SECURITY: The entrance and rooms are properly managed, with no recorded incidents. Regarding the claims of bedbugs and ants, we conduct regular pest control and have never had infestation issues. Any concerns would have been addressed immediately. We regret that your experience was not positive, but respect for shared spaces is essential for everyone’s comfort. We hope you find a stay that better suits your expectations in the future. Sincerely, Canoa Roots Hostel & Camping

Verified reviewThe hostel is nice, at a great location, close to downtown, well equipped and comfortable. There are cute cats and a dog too. The volunteers were kind and helpful. It's worth the price overall.
I think it should be mentioned if you pay by credit card the machine taxes 10% of the price so can be that you have to pay significantly more than expected. Be prepared by cash or pix to avoid this. Not so good place to work online, but it's also not the priority of a hostel.

Verified reviewThe three ladies that work as volunteers were incredibly nice. Good, sincere, peaceful vybz, if you are looking for a "mindfully place" this is the place to be :) Who build this place put the soul in it, you can feel this in every little details of the hostel. Clean and airy, everybody can get her/his own corner to stay alone or eventually choose to share spaces with the other parts of the family. And, last but not least, the location and landscape just outside are something really magical.
