Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

SwedenThis is a great place to stay at! The area Barra da Lagoa is nice and calm and doesn't feel overly touristy (at least in July). The hostel is located just a few minutes walk from the beach and the people working there are lovely! It's clean, safe and comfortable. My plan was to only stay two nights, but I ended up staying there 4 instead, and changed from a private room to a shared female dorm. I could easily have spent even more nights there, but sadly had to continue my trip. If I go to Floripa in the future, I will definitely book here again!

The hostel is great! I stayed for 3 weeks and would happily stay longer. The staff (specifically Jordana) made my stay even better. She was so helpful with anything I needed and worked hard to keep the place in good standing. I worked online there with no issues. Close to the beach, restaurants, grocery store.

United KingdomA Heart-warming Stay with Amazing People! This hostel is a gem for backpackers looking to connect with others. It has a fantastic social vibe, making it easy to meet people. During my stay, I unfortunately injured my leg, but the hosts and volunteers were incredibly supportive, helping with anything I couldn’t do on my own. A special shoutout to Daniela, a wonderful staff member who went above and beyond. She was so warm and kind, even carrying me all the way to the beach so I could enjoy the day! We had so much fun together and now share a funny, unforgettable story tell. Thank you to everyone for making my stay so memorable! Sure! Here's the updated version with the additional details:

GreeceI loved everything and would definitely stay here again.
Loved it! The location and the place is beautiful, close to all the cool places but you can find peace as well. The hostel is great, with everything you need for your stay, and it has really cool vibes. Its also super clean. The staff is always willing to help with anything you need and are always smiling and happy to help. Everyone was super nice, but Viktor and Marce in particular were super kind and helpful.

GermanyIt would be nice to have a mirror in the room and maybe the fee for washing the clothes is a bit expensive (40 Reais). Otherwise, all good!
One of the best hostels I stayed! All the volunteers are amazing and they make you really feel at home. I met very nice people and they always organize activities, both during the day and at night. The general vibe in the hostel is very nice, you always find someone to chat with in the kitchen but the hostel is also very quiet, especially at night. I stayed in the private room and it was very nice and clean. The shared bathrooms were also cleaned every day and the shower was warm. It was possible to easily cook and there was enough space in the fridge and it was clean. Location is nice to explore the island and it is close to the beach. There is a super cute cat that I will miss! I could leave my baggage at the hostel without problems since my bus was late. For sure, the people added a great value to my experience! Especially thanks to the great volunteers Carlos, Emy and Vicky!
