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 StatesThe staff of females went against company rules and when they got in trouble with the manager they tried to make it look like I was doing something I did not do with another guest. That could have gotten me in trouble with the law. But I reported it to the Law.
The location and rate was awesome

ItalyUnfortunately, the room experience was quite disappointing. The space was extremely cramped for six beds, leaving no room to move around. The bathroom was dirty and practically unusable, with very poor hygiene conditions.
The location of the hostel is excellent! The team was friendly and helpful throughout my stay. Special thanks to Gonzalo at check-in and Oriana at check-out, both were very professional and welcoming.

SwedenIt was very dirty, it smelled strange in the bedroom. At first it wasnt a big problem but after some days it was not tolerable if you are used ro Western standards. There was some people there who was acting a bit strange. They tried to offer us an upgrade of the room in exchange for a better review on this site. We wasn't very pleased with the stay
It had a kitchen and all that you would expert from a hostel. It had a decent price.

United StatesAs someone who has been to many hostels worldwide, this one was a little wierd, there weren't any students there, mostly older people in their late 30s, there was no stove in the kitchen (Ovens were included though). At night a non-resident went into my room to sleep so I went to the front desk and the guy said he would take care of it but kept playing on his computer while I waited 30 mins until I just gave up went back to my room to go sleep, when we woke up, all our chargers were stolen. For future stayers, make sure the room lock is enabled as ours was accidently turned off.
The location of this hostel is insane, just a short 10 second walk and you're already in the art deco district with many nice resturants and bars. The beach is only a 40 second walk. They provide a list with excursions if you dont have any plans. The common area is huge with many comfortable seating areas. Sofia at the desk was very helpful and provided us with a pleasent check out at the end of our trip.

United StatesThe in-room air conditioners were set too low, ran on high all day and night blowing cold air on guests trying to sleep. No blankets were provided, just a sheet, even though the temperature was set at 64 degrees F. I have lived in Florida forty years and I went home very sick. No one said that the setting was changeable until I complained to a staff member after suffering through the chill for three nights. I raised the setting to 74 degrees but it made little difference. Also there were no public restrooms in the building outside of the assigned rooms, which meant no guarantee of finding an available toilet when needed since there were up to six persons per dorm room. The eating area near the basement kitchen was kept clean enough but all furniture was shabby with heavily marked up worn off paint. It did not seem normal for a glamourous resort city, and I think management should be replaced.
The location on Washington Avenue and 9th Street was extremely convenient, and close to food stores, fast food, a diner, a museum, bus stops, and close to the beach.

United KingdomI am still waiting for my $20 deposit to be refunded!! I have held off doing a review. I have requested it twice, sent a copy of my card transactions but to no avail. I believe other people have had the same problem!! I stayed at another hostel in Miami and received the refund 2 days after I left. It's now months!! Please refund ASAP!!
Good location near beach, shops, airport bus. Clean dorm with ensuite bathroom. Decent kitchen and lounge but it got crowded. No kettle so had to use the microwave to boil water, no stove top, there were some things to cook in but not easy.
