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.).

BelgiumThere were no keys or locks on the room or the shower - meaning everyone could come in at any given moment - but that could easily be changed so people could feel more at ease
The room and bed were really confortable - we had an ajoining terrasse where after using the shared washing mashine you could hang your clothes. The hostel is situated in the center and really close to mutiple bars and great restaurants

ItalyThe rooms are quite small, even with a small trolley it already felt crowded, so a backpack would be more practical. In the middle of summer, the air conditioning was very strong, and even after asking to lower it, we still felt cold at night. In the showers, there were no locks on the doors, which made me feel uneasy, and the light kept turning off because the sensor was placed in the middle of the room. From inside the shower it wasn’t possible to trigger it, which was frustrating. The room light also worked with a motion sensor, so at night every time someone came in or moved around, the light kept switching on and off. I also found the price for a bed a bit high, though to be fair, the overall structure was well organized. We also noticed some ants in the bed, but it wasn’t a big issue.
There was always a staff member available, day and night, which made the place feel very safe. I really appreciated how well organized everything was: from the comfortable beds and the personal lockers with locks to the bathrooms and the fully equipped kitchen that had everything we needed. The shower worked perfectly, the jacuzzi was a great bonus, and the location was excellent. I also loved having clean towels provided every time we went to the beach or used the jacuzzi, though the shower towels were not replaced. Another detail I appreciated was the fridge system, where every product had to be labeled with the checkout date and room number, simple but very practical.

The location is very central for fun in Albufeira (expect some noise from the street and bars to trickle in!). Clean rooms, lovely staff and nice bathrooms.

BrazilThere was no hairdryer available in the bathroom. It's quite noisy at night due to its proximity to the bars. It didn't bother me, but it's important to note. The mattress wasn't good. It felt like a waterbed. The bathroom was never cleaned at night.
The location is excellent. Downtown, close to restaurants and bars. Drinking water is available in the kitchen. The staff is always very attentive and helpful. There was towel and locker without additional cost.
