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 KingdomNothing really, it wasn’t amazing but can’t complain either!
Nice social area with plenty of seating, a pool table, bar/restaurant. Staff were all friendly and helpful. Location was okay - 5 min walk from the port. Rooms were fine, clean and comfortable enough. Ignore the reviews about noravirus as this is no issue now :)

United KingdomRooms and bathrooms need good maintenance and refurbishment works. Rooms are really stiffy and there’s no natural ventilation system. Uncomfortable Mattresses and pillows (mattress springs make also loud noise). Beddings and pillow smell stale/mould…terrible flannel blanket. Staff came regularly during the day, but probably should force guests to keep their belonging off the room floors (could hardly access my locker because of the mess!) so that the floors can be cleaned: my feet would get dark with dirt just by walking in the room. Could do with an area to dry clothes, as they don’t dry in the dorms.
Great staff: friendly and helpful! Gorgeous terrace and great vibes. Each dorm has its own bathroom facilities. Convenient location by the pier, beaches and one of the bars area.

SpainThe beds need improvement and all the rooms should have windows otherwise it should be stated when booking and have a lower price if its a room without. 8 people in a very small windowless room is not good.
The location and staff are the best part. Very good vibes 🫶🏽

United KingdomA great option for backpackers but I only used it as a day use. The receptionists are friendly, and the mixed dorm is simple but clean. The spacious common area is perfect for socializing. Located just a short walk from the main pier, it offers excellent value for money.

United KingdomThe bathrooms in the dorms could’ve been a little cleaner, we had lots of empty bottles left all over the shower floors
People working were so so lovely! There was a mix up with my laundry and they made sure it was back to me that evening and gave me a free drink token to accommodate. Really good location.

Clean, very close to the pier , friendly staff. Also has a nice bar/restaurant area.
