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 StatesThe area is just hilly and has a lot of steps. Good for the gluten:)
The location is gas. Right in the middle of it all. Very good happy vibe.

NetherlandsThe terrace is open only from late afternoon, you cannot bring your own drinks and the prices are quite high. Yesterday we were told to leave at 19:30 because there was a large group coming. So it seems the hostel does not have a terrace, there is just a bar on the roof open for everyone. The cafeteria is a bit the same. You are not allowed in if you don't order except when the kitchen is closed.
The staff, beds, location everything!

NetherlandsOne thing that could be solved with a drop of oil, the beds squeaked when I moved, not too much but a little bit.

Get the 4 bed bedroom with private bathroom, it is 3 or 4 euros more and makes all the difference! They are located in one of the main streets of Coimbra, near a lot of restaurants and the street performers

ItalyI loved this hostel! I stayed in the room at the top without bunk beds and the bed was easily the most comfortable hostel bed I've ever had. Lots of bathrooms too and Pedro on reception was an absolute legend. He gave us great tips for places to eat which were all within a short distance from the hostel. Would go back in a heartbeat.

SwedenThe kitchen could do with new utensils and organisation. For example in most hostels the fridges are cleaned out on a regular basis and guest are asked to keep their food in bags and labelled with name and checkout date. This is not the case here.
Great stay, I had a private room which was lovely. Great location and supernice staff! Not very social if that’s your vibe!

The stuff was very friendly and brought people together, creating the feeling of a community, not just a shared space. The room and bathroom were clean and of a resonable temperature even without AC. The location can't be better - it's just in the heart of Coimbra's old town.

GermanyNo AC under the roof, so it got quite hot at night. Also be prepared for a lot of stairs in and to the hostel. Kitchen could have been a bit better equipped.
A dorm with single beds, what a breeze of fresh air while travelling! Very comfy and clean. 4 toilets, 2 of them with showers for ten people was a perfect ratio. Large lounge room on the ground floor. All the sights and places to eat are in walkable distance.

First of all, the location was perfect. 30 seconds from the main street and 3-5 minutes from the river. It's right in the city center, where you can fully experience the city's spirit. Even a 10-person room was very comfortable. The rooms and bathrooms were very clean. I was very pleased with everything.

AustraliaIt was particularly noisy, as there was a festival in the area the night I stayed. I enjoyed the celebratory sounds, but for those who might be more bothered it could be a little too in the action (Noise may have been a little unusual due to the event). Bathroom bins could do with some work, I think they just need to be bigger to accommodate all the guests.
Great location, in the middle of it all. Staff were very helpful and attentive. The receptionist even took my heavy suitcase upstairs for me. Clean, simple and well set out. Bedroom lockers were helpful.

ItalyThe hostel is perfectly located for visiting the city center; there's a gelateria, bars, and restaurants just a few meters away. Even though I arrived early, my room was ready and I was able to check in early. The only thing missing is a place to hang laundry, which needs to be cleaned in the shower.

GermanyYou should not have a problem with climbing stairs if you book a room on a higher floor, but that's obvious!
The bed was very comfortable and there were multiple bathrooms on each floor to choose from should your own be occupied. The place was clean and had a nice living room area and kitchenette that made for some nice social interactions. The location is amazing, close to everything I wanted to see and a half hour walk from the train station.
