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):
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.).

United KingdomThe mattress was considerably uncomfortable and I could feel the inside structure when lying down.
The room I stayed in had a toilet and a shower with toilet, both separate for more privacy. The pool was clean and refreshing. Laundry service available. Vending machine with cold drinks available on reception. Really good vibe at night time in the patio where everyone gathers. Special mention to Matthew on reception who takes the time to explain everything you need including directions on how to get to places and restaurant recommendations. He does a great job.

Excellent hostel! Nice big room with own bathroom and everything was clean. The beds had lights and sockets and a large locker with lock. There was aircon, a mirror and a fridge in the room. The hostel provided sheets and a towel. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The kitchen was clean and had everything you need. The location was excellent, mere minutes walk from the centre of Fira. One of the best hostels I have stayed in, absolutely would stay again.

I had a fantastic experience at this hostel. The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful from the moment I arrived — they truly made me feel at home. The atmosphere was relaxed and social, perfect for solo travelers and backpackers. The rooms and common areas were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. I especially appreciated the small touches — whether it was the cozy lounge, the organized activities, or the helpful local tips. The location was ideal: close to everything but still peaceful at night. I met some amazing people here, and it really felt like a home away from home. Highly recommended — I’d definitely come back!

United StatesBed wasn't too uncomfortable but could have been better. Also, would have been nice to have a curtain on the bed to sleep more privately without being bothered by other guests/lights going on and off. (some hostels do, some don't, no points off for that but just as a suggestion)
I only stayed here one night. But, check in was easy, the staff were all very friendly, the place was clean. Definitely seemed like a safe place as most people in my room had their stuff out and not locked away, lol. I still locked my stuff up of course. The storage locker was big enough for my small checked bag and large backpack. I'm sure I could have kept a bag in their storage area if I didn't have enough space. Location is great, just a minute or so walk from the main shopping/restaurant area of Fira and right by the bus station. I would probably stay here again especially if I could get it for 30euro a night again!

United KingdomMy mattress was a bit thin and lumpy, but at such a bargain price I can't really complain.
I stayed here for one night having flown in late. The staff were great, and helped me book a very early taxi to the port the next morning. The room was clean, and quiet once I put earplugs in (there were people drinking and chatting right outside the window, but hey, it's a hostel). The padlocked lockers were a nice addition.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Matthew takes care of every traveler. Great price and excellent location—just a 3-minute walk from the bus station. Despite being close to the city center, the street is quiet and peaceful. The hostel has a pool, is clean, with comfortable beds and an en-suite bathroom, plus an extra one—which is a big advantage in a shared room. Well-equipped kitchen and laundry facilities. Free luggage storage before check-in and after check-out. You can also use the kitchen and take a shower at any time after check-out. Two cats living in the hostel add a special atmosphere to the place. I definitely recommend it :)
