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 reviewComfortable bed with curtains. Sadley there were almost no other people when I was there.
Sorry about that, but in December the wind starts to die down, so the number of kitesurfers in the area also decreases, so the hostel and the city end up being emptier at the beginning of the month, but it gets better again in the last 2 weeks of the month. Thank you very much for your review, it is very important to us!

Verified reviewThe hostel was super clean and had nice facilities. The breakfast was included, music was chill, and staff was nice. There are good facilities if you’re a kitesurfer (locker for kitegear, showers to wash your gear with, and a rack to store your board(s)). Also, the hostel is super central and close to the beach- again ideal for kitesurfers. 10/10 would recommend.
Thank you for your review, it is very important to us, we hope to see you soon!

Verified reviewI felt right at home at this hostel. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the atmosphere was great! Nice and laid back. Furthermore, the facilities were very clean and modern. I would definitely recommend staying here. In addition, for kiters, the beach is a short walk and the wind conditions in Preá are great in general.

Verified reviewSo far we stayed in 7 different locations in Brazil and Maktub was our favourite by far 💗 Angela, Anderson and Fabinho were the best hosts! So happy and cheerful, very helpful but also doing a great job actually running the hostel. Amazing facilities, everything is new, pretty and functional. Breakfast was great. Fast wifi for work. We met great people at the hostel too. It was such a great set up to have a private room but be able to interact with the other people staying there.
We have absolutely no complaints

Verified reviewBeautiful property, feels new. Not too many people around when we were there. About 5minuit walk from the beach, where you can hitch a ride into jericoracora. Servers breakfast.
Breakfast is the same thing everyday, so if your staying for more than a few days it gets kinda old. We started being out some of our own food and leftovers.

Verified reviewIt One of the best hostels I've been to, everything is new, clean and tidy. The staff is amazing, they really made me part of the family. I stayed there for two months. I felt like I was at home. I couldn't want to leave. Great breakfast. Amazing location. 2 minutes from the sea. 2 minutes from the center. Everything you need. The staff helped and recommended a place that is really high quality.
