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 reviewTodo bien, normal.
The new receptionist didn’t wanted to give me the password, I ask her 3 times and she was so envious about that freaking password. Like I was a criminal or something. Ughhh. Then I lost my key 🙄 and obviously I had to pay for it. And she told me “you have to pay” even when I ask her the password a lot of times, she put it and hide it in front of me, super rude and bad person. Look what kind of people are you hiring, that lady treat me as a criminal or something. I just wanted to relax but see her all the time was so tiring. Tbh I prefer the last receptionist, she was kind, this new one was very impolite, every freaking time I wanted the password she walked with me instead of just give me the 4 digits. UGH.

Verified reviewThe staff was very friendly and helpful, It felt like there is a lot of privacy because of the curtains on the beds, it was mostly clean and at a great location. Nonetheless the beach and the pool were amazing
Most days there wasn't any hot water in the showers, there were some mosquitoes that couldn't be dealt with without chemicals which required the entire room to be empty for at least 30 minutes and it's something that's hard to get having a few strangers at the same room... Also as a Solo traveler the communal area wasn't very welcoming and that made getting to know other travelers a bit difficult

Verified reviewThe beach front location
There was a lot of dust in the dormitory. Also, there was a considerable amount of dust in the passageway to the lockers and shower room. We had to walk outside in order to get to the shower areas. As builders were working on the new facilities, a lot of dust and debri was building up

Verified reviewIt’s new and clean.
Hostel doesn’t have any common areas, there is no place for socializing. On the picture is a hotel beach; the hotel is between hostel and the beach.
