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 reviewThe staff were amazing!! So kind and helpful :) the breakfast at the hostel was really good, and it’s in an excellent location. I loved the really warm, friendly vibe!
The hostel felt like it definitely could have been cleaner… my bed was not very comfortable, and I couldn’t sit up in my bed (bottom bunk) which was really annoying. The rooms are also really hot because there is no air conditioning… However, I still really enjoyed my stay, it’s just worth knowing these things before you arrive :)

Verified reviewGreat breakfast and staff really friendly
It’s too packed in the rooms and we don’t have enough space to put our stuff. Would be nice to have one bed less (single one) for that purpose. I wouldn’t recommend have stayed longer otherwise. Also having too many people in the same room means it gets too hot

Verified reviewVery clean and cute hostel! I stayed for a week and the rooms and bathrooms were cleaned regularly. Lovely small and light-flooded but dry patio (even when it rains), outdoor community kitchen. The staff was super friendly and it was easy to meet new people. I would definitely recommend it! Also right around the corner of the bustling street, but still very quiet!
My mattress was very soft and worn down. It takes a few minutes’ walk to the beach, but that’s generally a thing in Itacaré. If you can, get a bike!

Verified reviewPedro was so friendly and we felt very welcomed, the kitchen facilities were good and bedrooms had strong fans in them. Very clean and safe and calm. Saw little monkeys climbing in the morning!!
Quiet and small so wasn’t as much opportunity to meet people but was very relaxing. Room was a bit more expensive than our budget.

Verified reviewLocation, staff and breakfast. Outdoor common area. Outdoor shower.
Pillows were old, shower in the room was not good. I have noticed that maintenance is an issue in a lot of hostels in Brazil. It should not be.. Bed and shower should always be the priority.
