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.).

This place is really run down, needs a lot of work. Aircon was more like a fan and was not cooling and hell was it noisy. Shower heads blocked and water comes down scarcely. Breakfast was below average . The pictures on the website may have been taken 20years ago as it does not truly reflect the hostel now. Definitely not going back there.

Verified reviewThe hostel is in a great position. I had a private room, it was small but clean, and had good lighting. The lady at the reception is very nice.
The A/C made a really loud noise. It was hard to sleep at night because of it. The hostel had no coffee for breakfast, just hot water with nescafè. While walking up to the rooftop you could see a lot of birds excrements on the indoor stairs, which was disgusting.

Verified reviewThe staff was very friendly and accommodating. We had to check out early since we'll be leaving for PPS after our island tour. She offered to let us leave our luggage and even let us use their bathroom after the tour (which ended way beyond the check-out time). The room was also clean and comfortable enough for me and my aunt.

Verified reviewIt is well located in the center of the village. The employees were very kind and helpful. The pancakes in the breakfast were so good.
The room was very small. The building doesn't seem to be finished, so while you go up to the rooftop to have breakfast the things seem that are falling apart.

Verified reviewStaff was nice, building is quiet. Breakfast was okay.
The aircon was broken in our room, they couldn't find any technician to fix it so they gave us a fan that was very loud. They afforded light compensation for the inconvenience (worth 3 or 4 euros). The only window in the room leads to the corridor so that didn't help with the temperature. Sheets had a bad smell (humidity ?). A few ants in the room.

Verified reviewGreat location - close to the port and all the main restaurants, bars, activities etc Wonderful staff - very helpful with recommendations and will book the tours for you. They will also refill your water bottles with filtered water so you don’t have to keep buying water.
Basic/dated property - The building is quite simple and it is not very modern. It’s very much just a place to sleep not really somewhere you can feel comfortable and relax. The window in the room opens up to the internal corridor not outside so you have to keep the curtains closed if you want privacy.
