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 StatesMy bed was not really comfortable and the bathroom close to my room was not very clean.
Really nice staff, the building is cozy and nicely decorated. Pancakes and espresso are served for breakfast. There's a nice living room to hang out with friends, where you can play pool and other games.

GermanyFar too few bathrooms for the amount of people that are hosted.
The Staff was super nice and helpful, even when I needed to check out super early. The hostel organizes trips and attractions with was really cool cause the city doesn't have a good public transport system to get to those places.

ItalyPerfect for our needs, we arrived late and left early the next morning. The staff was incredibly welcoming and accommodating. The location is nice and clean with spotless bathrooms and good showers. For a hostel, this exceeded our expectations. Great value and exactly what we needed for an overnight stay. Highly recommended for travelers looking for clean, comfortable budget accommodation.

Staying at this hostel in Maui was hands-down one of the best decisions I made on my trip! From day one, I felt completely at home. The vibe is warm, welcoming, and full of that genuine aloha energy. I met incredible people, made lifelong memories, and left with a full heart. The staff truly made the experience unforgettable - shoutout to Laura, Victor, Gisella, Zac, Luke, Zarah, Mawi, Dani, Claudia, and Owen. Every single one of them went above and beyond, always greeting you with a smile and ready to help with anything. The place is super clean - kitchen, bathrooms, rooms - everything. Plus, they offer free pancakes and coffee for breakfast every morning, and organize daily free activities and tours, which are such a fun bonus and incredibly well done. I’ve stayed in a lot of hostels, but this one is easily one of my all-time favorites. If I ever come back to Maui, this is exactly where I’ll be staying again. :)

BrazilThe only thing that could be better is having a grocery store a bit closer. There’s just a gas station one block away and a few restaurants around. The closest grocery store is about a 25-minute walk. But honestly, Howzit is still super convenient overall.
This hostel is probably the best in Maui, even though I haven’t been to the others. It’s always clean and organized. The kitchen is big and has all the equipment you might need. The pancakes at breakfast are delicious! The staff is super careful and polite. Can’t recommend it enough!

United StatesThe Van we did our tour in didn't have any AC and the door randomly opened twice while driving.
Amazing Stay at Howzit Hostel! Had the best time staying at Howzit Hostel! Everything was absolutely great from start to finish. The vibe is super chill, the place is clean and comfy, and the staff really made the experience unforgettable. Luke ran some awesome tours—he’s super knowledgeable and made exploring the island fun and easy. Kanzo was always around with good energy and helpful tips. Bri took us out for a relaxing beach day that was just what we needed, and Kara shared her favorite spots in ʻĪao Valley State Park, which made the visit even more special. Can’t recommend this place enough—can’t wait to come back!
