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.).

NetherlandsIt's unforthunate that the only hostel with a kitchen is located in a place that is hard to reach with public transport from the airport. Getting a taxi to there is expensive. Jan Thiel itself is overpriced and filled to the brim with dutch tourists.
Great big kitchen, big swimming pool, rooms were really nice, good bathrooms. Great value.

ChileIt would be nice to have a mirror in the female dorm, and check the shower gel dispenser. Bikes… same as in Pietermaai, could be a lot better!
Super cute hostel!! I love how colourful it is. You have so much space to chill there, very nice. Kitchen is fine. I stayed in a dorm and it was OK. Dinner was very good! 😊 Prices are okay too. You can walk to Papagayo, Caracasbaai, the fort, Tugboat beach. But you can also rent a bike or even better: a car. Staff, in general, are friendly and very helpful. There is a small supermarket in the hostel 👌🏽. I recommend to stay there a couple of nights to explore that side of the island, because it is a long way from the West beaches.

United StatesBeautiful property the staff is awesome but if you do not have a car rental the location is not really that walkable, 25 min to the closest beach. If you do have a car then it’s super nice and new, with pool and restaurant . But if you want to walk and explore maybe get one more central

CanadaOnly thing I didnt like was when I went to rent scuba gear and inquired about what they do to sanitize equipment after use they told me that they don't, but I could do it myself. It would be quite cheap for them to disinfect with a small solution of vinegar and water. This made me choose not to rent the snorkel gear. If they could add some sort of insulation or foam to make the door of the 12 bed mixed dorm a little quieter when it opens and closes, it would be great. I'm honestly just nit-picking at this point!
Beautiful location with a great pool. Lots of lounge space to spread out. I also appreciated the access to a fridge to store a few number of perishables I purchased. Reception is very accommodating! Despite being in a mixed dorm, still felt like I had a great deal of privacy when I wanted it.

Hong KongI liked that there was alot of outdoor space to chill, and onsite restaurant/kitchen was useful. They also had books and a pool table. The balcony was nice to have for some fresh air, bed was comfortable and wifi good. The pool was quite small, property could be cleaner ingeneral especially the kitchen, location abit far from everything (should probably rent a car), some staff looked bored; others were very helpful. Noisy road outside but good soundproofing. The bathroom had the sewage smell sometimes. On the weekends, the locals come to party at the pool.

FranceThere were piles of towels lying in the bathroom on a few occasions, but a part from that the bathroom was usually kept in a good state. I would recommend the change of white curtains in the dorm room. Some people like to turn on the light in the middle of the night, and the light travels through the curtain easily.
The concept of the accommodation is very nice. I like that there is a choice of private and shared rooms. The staff was helpful and kind. Overall a great experience.

NetherlandsThey don’t host anything, which is a shame because I think it could profit the place and make it even better. Happy Hour/Game Nights would be fun to bring the hostel back to life, sometimes it felt a bit dead there. It’s a great hostel but I feel its not being used for its full potential. Also recommend people to bring good mosquito repellent, there are a lot of them in the property.
I stayed again for two months at jan thiel bed & bike hostel. The pool is nice to cool down, and the rooms are very clean with good airco. There is a little convenient store at the hostel incase you need something urgent which is nice. I think the price of the hostel is reasonable for Curaçao. At the lounge area you can play pool with people, have a beer or just chill. The staff was very nice, Alberto, one of the staff is always there to help or if you want to have a nice chat. Jhon the chef was also a very nice guy to talk to and makes great pokebowls. The hostel could be quiet at times due to not having many guests, so the nice interactions with the staff made my stay very pleasant. Thank you for that.
