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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do 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 or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

When door is not closed properly, that doorlock sound will make whole room crazy. So this will be needed to inform for all visitors when they check in. Electric outlet at my bed was not working. Needed to fix it.
Good location for the next day. Just typical albergue with beds, toilets and small kitchen-ish place. Calm albergue to take a rest.

Only one sink for a lot of people, dark, not much room to hang out, no kitchen. Expensive for what you get in comparison with many other albergues. I knew what was coming but I must be honest. They are making a new albergue, it will be better :)
Nice staff, good location, clean. Small supermarket nearby open on Sundays

There was no common area for pilgrims to gather. Compared to other albergues it was very basic not much cozy or nice stuff. Please prolong the time shower goes - its a bit irritating to have to press it every 5secs. Thanks:)
Great location close to centre and the place from which boats are going to Spain. The owner was nice:).

Lots of beds all crammed into two rooms. For 20€ you should be able to get more - like outlets at each bed, a designated place to hang laundry, more hooks to hang stuff, more bathrooms/ sinks… this place is good but needs to get better.
It’s convenient.

It is not a modern hostel. No light per bed, no plug for your phone. If you stay in the upper bed the stairs are so very uncomfortable. The location of the hostel is ok.

I loved the location, the café Camino, and the owners' friendliness. This is the perfect place to start the Camino de Santiago in my opinion. The owners have both done it and they'll give you lots of great tips! Plus, the rooms are very clean and tidy, the showers are amazing, you're right at the historical center of Caminha... I have to come back!

The owner was very hospitable. Great story for how it was started. Great pub atmosphere - stop by even if you don’t stay there. A library to share with books in many languages. Good for people who like to meet people and are easy-going. I met nice pilgrims and visitors. Excellent location next to the main square!

The price was quite high compared to the other hostels for pilgrims. It was not worth the price. The beds are divided in 3 different spaces but in only one big room (no doors between them), kitchen included. No common room to relax (no table or sofa). We couldn't use the plugs because they were covered by the bed that was stuck between the wall and the A/C. There are 3 showers and 3 toilets but only one sink for all of them. The water of the shower was running just for a few seconds before stopping, so we had to keep pressing the button. The lockers weren't big enough for the pilgrims' backpacks!
Located in the city center, clean, modern, with comfortable beds.
