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 Arab EmiratesThe breakfast was just basic, only fruits are changing every time. But still not that major.
The location and how clean it was. This is a hostel with a more relax vibe. The staff were also very friendly and accommodating. I also like the fact that they have a bidet in the toilet. So happy!

United StatesThe bathrooms could be cleaned more than once per day. I'm not blaming the cleaning lady, she did fine when she cleaned them, but I think they only clean them once per day, and they get used a lot.
The staff was nice. The location is great and the bed is comfy.

PolandBreakfast from 7:30, so we could only eat it once during our 3-day stay - we had to leave before 7 AM on the other days.
Great hostel, right next to one of the metro entrances, friendly English-speaking staff, good breakfast. Walking distance from Copacabana and Ipanema, lots of shops and food nearby.

New ZealandIt's not particularly social hostel. If you are looking for a nice and quiet place, it's perfect. If you are after meeting people, it might not be the best option.
Nice and helpful staff. Perfect location. The private room was spacious and had everything I needed. Breakfast was good - loved having fresh fruits every morning.

ArgentinaThe location is great, we were near supermarkets, restaurants, ipanema beach, copacabana beach and arpoador stone, a nice place to watch the sunset. The hostel is lovely, very clean, and we booked a private suite so we were very comfortable. The bed was huge and we slept well. The shower has good water pressure, the sink not so much. Even tho the room was nice, it was a 3rd floor and there is no elevator so i wouldn’t recommend it so much for people with mobility issues, baggage bigger than a carry-on or elderly folks. The staff is SO friendly and kind, there is someone at the reception desk 24/7 to help you with anything. They also helped us get our carry on up the stairs. The kitchen is a bit small and you can’t cook much, you can only boil water. You can store some things in the fridge if you tag it and find a place, which is convenient.

United States- Bunk shelf was flimsy and inclined, my stuff and bunkmate's stuff kept falling down - A/C is pretty loud (FYI) although not a problem for me because I had earplugs - Because it's near a beach, it feels like there's always sand/humidity on everything including the beds right up until the A/C has been turned on (around 9PM) for some time
- Location was perfect -> beach, metro, restaurants, cafes steps away and area felt pretty safe (FYI traffic is crazy around) - Amenable to morning beach swims - Showers are very modern and clean - Cleaning staff goes through the showers and bunk rooms every day - Lots of cool interesting people at the hostel and nearby bars
