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 reviewMy main criticism is the lack of signage... Apparently, there are 3 routes in to this hostel. I used 2 (different days), and there were no signs to direct travellers. Especially as Google maps on the island is not reliable. The last thing any traveller needs is the avoidable extra mileage whilst carrying their gear!

Verified reviewI liked nothing. This hostel is the worst one ive ever been to.
-When i arrived, david said he had overbooked and wanted me to sleep in the same bed as a girl who arrived at the same time as me. He also wanted us to pay full price despite asking us to share a bed. -The owner is rude and is always high or drunk. -the owner is lazy. More times than not when i needed something the owner just waved me off and told me to come back later(always napping) many other people experienced this problem. -only 2 "working" bathrooms for more than 25 people also the bathrooms are disgusting and there was never toilet paper. -showers are cold and full of piss. -on saturday a huge party is held there until about 4 am with the LOUDRST MUSIC EVER. -people regularily have sex in the dorms and i never saw them switch the sheets. (My bed was disgusting when i arrived. -the owner is greedy. He takes a 5 dollar deposit for towels and only returns 4 becuase of the "cleaning fee" All in all if i could give this hostel less than 1 star i would. I cannot believe this place has 9 stars. It deserves 3 AT MOST!
Dear customer, We appreciate your feedback. Apologies for the overbooking, this was due to an extremely busy period during Chinese new year. We did offer for some people to cancel, but I understand the situation was not ideal. We are taking extra measures to ensure overbooking during busy periods does not happen again. Our hostel is new and sometimes things get broken, but we do our best to fix things quickly. The 1 dollar fee for the towel cleaning is part of our policy that we always explain before renting out towels. Thanks again

Verified reviewit was close to nestival (but also very loud during the night)
the owner is kinda rude & only wants to make money, isn’t very helpful & very unprofessional. he asked a few people to sleep in the same bed, because he overbooked the place. he made a lot of inappropriate comments to girls & touched them without consent. i felt very unsafe when he was around. it was very loud when nestival happened, as its the place of the after party. the beds are hard & the room is always full of sand, because it doesn’t get cleaned. there’s no hot water in the showers and the toilets were always clogged or out of order
You make problem with my key why you be no have responsibility by yourself, bro you have lost the key. You don’t give me back the key.

Verified reviewThe beds were big and comfortable. Toilets and showers are outside and clean (no hot water). Location was ok. Its easier to go with the ferry to long set beach than the main pier. They dropped me off by the pier for free when I was going back. The restaurant was ok.
The host was being inappropriate towards some female guests at times, especially one girl in my room felt very unsafe because of his behaviour. Others seemed to enjoy it. He was also drinking and smoking weed while working and wanted to party with the guests when he was not working, the line of what's professional and what's not got blurry. But if you are into that kind of vibe, this place is for you. I became hesitant to interact with the staff because I felt uncomfortable.

Verified reviewPerfect location. The staff was very helpful and arranged all the transport from and to the Pier.
The staff was sometimes a little bit pushy about alcohol (free shots etc.) and always tried to arrange a party atmosphere. I don't mind party but don't want to be forced.
