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 reviewLocation and breakfast.
Me and my friend paid for the King double (“best” room in the hostel). Anyway, from the very 1st night we found the AC broken (then fixed) and then, most importantly, enormous cockroaches coming from the bathroom facilities, that show an important lack of cleanliness. When we reported to the receptionist that we were keeping finding them (including a frog…), despite a first cleaning intervention, and that we were expecting a new cleaning / at least refund (even partial) for the inconvenience, we were told that a new cleaning would have been considered “extra” and be charged + that we should have gone to a “resort” instead. It’s quite unacceptable that a hostel staff is not able to understand such a big issue with two people paying for a “King room” but having to live with huge cockroaches. I’d like to add that the insect net around the bed had holes and so was totally useless.

Verified reviewThe hostel have very good vibes in it. Enjoyed every second. The crew there was so special and helped me with so many things. If you are a kitesurfer it gets even better because the owner have a kite school and then you can catch a ride with him to the spots. Also serving acai when coming with him. The best place.

Verified reviewThis place is a SCAM ! Don't book, they are thieves!. Rooms don't look anything like the photos, my room was totally moldy, stained, the matress was humide like it was in a cave, there was black mold on walls, the toilet smelled like strong piss odor, the AC wasn't working but THE WORST PART WAS THE VERY HEAVY SMELL OF MOLD, I didnt even want to stay one night in this place, the paint was all the be redone, the light switch full of black fingerprints. I have been in so many places, I don't have high expectations, I can be content with minimal comfort but this was really bad. They offered to change me to another room the day after. The receptionist showed me another room without AC but it was taken and smelled like a barn. Then I meet other people who were there and had the same issue. The guys girlfriend was allergique and they got changed to a better room but was still bad. Some people I meet were living there as well and one of them had allergique reaction in another room. They have a no refund policy but the product they offer is complete garbage and has nothing to do with the reality. I had booked a week and they kept every penny. They are just bad dishonest people. Please don't encourage these thives. For the same exact price I had a room at VIGLAMO cliser to the beach with a pool and everything was super clean and staff were amazing. Contact them directly they have much better price than what is on booking.
Absolutely nothing l. This is a scam. Worst experience in 1.5 year in south america. Its a complete siht hole
We are truly sorry that your experience was not positive, but we would like to clarify a few important points: You did not spend even one night at our hostel. From the moment you arrived, your attitude was quite arrogant, and you refused all the room change options we offered — something we provided in good faith, even though it's not an obligation, but rather an extra effort to ensure guest satisfaction. We are a serious and honest hostel, committed to offering fair and affordable accommodations. We strive to keep our private room rates at just R$92 per night (for two people, with air conditioning and breakfast included) — a very competitive price in Jericoacoara, where operating costs are high. Naturally, at this price point, we cannot offer luxury hotel standards, but we do provide functional, clean, and accessible accommodation for budget-conscious travelers. The room and all contracted services were fully available to you, exactly as stated in your reservation. Even after we offered several alternative room options, you chose not to stay, which we respect, though we disagree with the way this has been portrayed publicly. Unfortunately, a refund was not possible, as private rooms are automatically blocked for two guests once booked, meaning we lose the ability to rebook that room. Last-minute cancellations like this result in a direct financial loss for us. Given all this, we find it extremely unfair — and frankly offensive — to be called "thieves" or "dishonest", when we honored our part of the agreement and kept the room and services ready for your use. We operate every day with honesty, transparency, and respect toward all our guests. Sincerely,

Verified reviewExtremely Disrespectful and Unprofessional Experience at LaTaperajeri hostel I have never left an accommodation feeling as disrespected and hurt as I did after my experience with the owner of this hostel, Mauricio. I usually only write positive reviews and forget about the bad ones, but this time, it was beyond unacceptable. I arrived at the hostel at 7:30 AM after a very tough 24-hour journey, looking for a place to rest. After checking a few other places, I finally arrived at this hostel and asked the receptionist if I could check in immediately. He assured me that I could. I then proceeded to book my stay through Booking.com and requested my room. To my surprise, I ended up standing at the reception for an hour and a half, waiting for my room, because the receptionist had no idea what to do. The computer system was barely functioning, and the overall logistics of the place were completely disorganized. After a long wait and after I had already paid and completed my booking, it was already 9:30 AM. At that point, another employee arrived and told me that early check-in was not usually possible and that it was against the hostel’s policy. However, after realizing that I was promised immediate entry by the receptionist, she assured me that she would take care of it and called the owner, Mauricio. From the moment Mauricio arrived, the entire atmosphere turned hostile and disrespectful. Before we even spoke, he realized I was Israeli and started mocking me in Hebrew. At first, I thought he was just joking. Then, he told me very clearly that I was not allowed to enter the hostel before 2:00 PM and that I should stay away until then. I explained to him that I only booked this hostel because the receptionist confirmed I could check in early and that I was utterly exhausted after traveling for an entire day. I told him that if there was no option to check in, I would like a refund so I could find another place to sleep.
I usually don’t respond to comments, but this one deserves a reply due to the number of lies and, more importantly, because this man is scamming hostels. He books a reservation for the following day but tries to check in the night before. If we don’t allow him to stay for free, he starts yelling and threatening to leave negative reviews until people give in. Even when we ask him to cancel his reservation, he refuses. In short, he is acting in bad faith and does not resemble traditional Israeli travelers. It is very unfortunate that a few exceptions like this can damage the good relationship between locals and visitors. Clarifying the facts: 1️⃣ I do not speak Hebrew Unfortunately, I don’t speak Hebrew, although I would love for this man to be right and for me to know this beautiful language. That said, it is clearly a lie when he claims that we spoke in Hebrew. Our entire conversation was in English. 2️⃣ He arrived at 6 AM with a check-in time at 2 PM Everywhere in the world, check-in times are set for a reason. He claimed that a staff member had allowed him into his room early, which is a lie because the person in question, who wasn’t even a receptionist (as reception opens at 8 AM), does not speak English. Since he started getting aggressive with this staff member, I was called in to speak with him in English. I explained that the room was not yet ready and that it could be available around noon. However, he became very agitated, possibly due to exhaustion. Despite this, I offered him the common area to rest and a bathroom to use until check-in time, but he refused. When he realized we wouldn’t give in, he started insulting me and demanded that I cancel his reservation. I agreed and told him I would refund his money, but he refused. Why? Because the private room with breakfast was only $10 per night, an unbeatable price. 3️⃣ The most important point If the place was as bad as he claims, why did he book another reservation the next day? That’s a good question to ask. It is sad to encounter travelers like this. I hope the experiences he has along the way will teach him something about life. Thank you all.

Verified reviewWhen I got to the room, I immediately noticed that my sheets were full of strangers' hair and dirt as if they had never been changed. On top of that, the floor and shower were also full of hair. There were bugs everywhere. The highlight was when I had a frog in the room and when I asked to move I was told that "frogs are a natural thing" and they refused to move me to a different room or give me a refund for the night I didn't sleep in the hostel.
