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 reviewI stayed in FreeSurfCamp&Hostel for 4 days in July with my two teen children and my sister. We took surfing classes with Miguel and his school and it was great fun. Miguel and his colleague Pedro are really great instructors, professional yet very patient and kind. The hostel is a great base for this kind of vacation. The location is a bit out of the bitten tracks but we actually really enjoyed it. The house overlooks the rolling hills and the ocean, providing a great spot to watch spectacular sunsets. The atmosphere in the hostel is very nice, it really feels like a family place. The cleanliness was top and the breakfast was as good as in the hotel (well, not a five star one but you'll find there all you need). We will definitely go back there!
Nothing really

Verified reviewThis beautiful Hostel felt more like a home from home! This was the children’s first hostel experience and they loved it!! The staff are all so helpful and kind and the surf lessons with Migel were so much fun!! The location is quiet and relaxing but close to the buzz of the surf town on bike, foot or by car. We would recommend to any family or friends travelling here for the surf 🌊

Verified reviewLove this house and birds around. The house on countryside. It was perfect to sleep there with open window. No noise outside. No cars. Just a nature. Clean nice house where I felt welcome.
The door handle to the bathroom and my room creaked loudly. It was so quiet here at night that I was afraid to wake someone up with this creaking. Anyway everything was fine for me.

Verified reviewBeautiful property- wonderful large kitchen, great facilities. Great pool. Lots of spots to do yoga. The breakfast is wonderful, healthy, lots of coffee provided.
I wish there were curtains in the dorm; there needs to be a little bit more privacy there, including the bathrooms. A lot of the stalls didn’t even lock, so you would feel very exposed. This hostel is pretty far from the main surf break 40 minute walk, better to stay here if you have a car.
