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.).

I wish all reception staff were like David, he is polite, friendly and accommodating. I was reluctant to stay in a hostal because I don't like sharing but the experience was better than I expected. The hostal is clean and secure. There is a large well equipped kitchen with supplies that you can use and the wifi reception is excellent.

MoroccoThe rooms were empty but they didn’t let me stay with my friends, we didn’t have where to charge our phones next to the bed, only one fan and no AC, for me the desposit was a bit too much, I ve never spent 120 euros as a deposit on a hostel let along a bad one like this, they told us they offer no breakfast but they did and Fatima was so rude to us and unwelcoming, she gave us a long list of things that would make us lose our deposit and she would literally walk into rooms to check what’s going on, I ve never seen that before

NetherlandsNo common area to meet nice people, the showers and toilets are really small. The reception is not always open, you have to make an appointment with them to see them. I also had no warm water, but they were trying to fix that problem. I only booked this hostel because everything else was sold out, but I will not return. Also there café is not worth to wait in the queue.
Staff is friendly, nice (but noisy) location.

United KingdomHonestly I would be clutching at straws to find something and I can't other than the location. You are literally a 2 minute walk from the main clubs and restaurants which was a huge bonus for me popping in and out multiple times a day and also coming back from the beach etc. However, that is a double edged sword as at nighttime you can hear the music and hustle and bustle of nightlife. So, if you don't mind that then there is simply nothing I didn't like about staying here.
First and foremost, a good business has good stuff and an exceptional business has exceptional staff! This hostel is the latter and it's run by a very nice and pleasant lady, Fatima!. I first read the reviews before booking this hostel and I was blown away with the amount of positive reviews about Fatima and the Rich and Poor hostel so I knew this was the place I was going to book for a cheap holiday. The rooms were very clean and so was the kitchen and stairs leading to the rooms, thanks to the cleaning staff who also made sure there was new toilet rolls. I just don't have a bad word to say about this place and would highly recommend for anyone looking to stay in albuferia.
