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 KingdomThis hostel was in a very central location in Barcelos. We were only staying one night as walking the Camino Portuguese so it was perfect for an overnight stop. There are plenty of places to eat in the vicinity but there is also a kitchen if you'd rather eat in. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Would definitely stay here again.

JapanThe washing machine and drier only work with coins but they don’t change money at reception so you should have some coins with you. You also need to have your own detergent and softener, otherwise it’s only water.
Stayed one night during the Caminho de Santiago. Location and room are very good. There is a kitchen which you can use to make food and fridge to store food, which is the same place they serve breakfast. The normal hour for breakfast was 8am but the staff at reception kindly did it 30min earlier for us. There was a washing machine and tumble dryer at the hostel which were very handy for us as we really needed to wash our clothes and other laundries were a bit far.

NetherlandsReception is closed until 15.00 which is unexpected for a hostel or hotel. One window in our room was boarded up. The drain in the bathroom got stuck closed, but the receptionist worked hard and successfully to resolve that
The hostel is right in the center, close to shops and restaurants and on the Camino de Santiago.

The receptionist was so welcoming after walking my longest day on the Camino and property was secure. Code to enter room and property. The room I stayed in had a balcony, private bathroom, AC (as an American that was a surprise!) and in the center of all the restaurants.

SpainI felt for the price they could have put the sheets on the bed. I know this is common in hostels in Portugal and Spain, but when you're paying €30 a night, it feels like something they should do.
Great set up for pilgrims. Beds comfy and self-contained with curtains, light, plug and locker. Great kitchen facilities and useful washing facilities. Perfect central location too. Plus, check out the scary living room with a glass floor.

CroatiaActually everything was great!
This was my first time staying in a hostel and I was blown away at how comfortable it was. The bunk beds have lockers beneath and curtains for maximum privacy. Also each bed has an electric socket and the beds are actually really comfortable. I also got a pillow, sheets and towels! There is everything you can possibly need like the washing machine, dryer, kitchen and dining room
