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 KingdomWe had a fantastic stay at this hostel! The private room was perfect for our family of four, featuring a spacious layout with a large double bed and a cozy bunk bed for the kids. Having our own bathroom was a huge plus, ensuring privacy and convenience. The addition of a fridge allowed us to store snacks and drinks, making our stay even more comfortable. The atmosphere was friendly, and the staff were incredibly helpful. Overall, a great place that exceeded our expectations for a family-friendly accommodation! Highly recommended!

PortugalVery few bathrooms. The room only had one for 8 women. There were two bathrooms outside which I used when the dorm bathroom was occupied but they were to be shared with people from other dorm. I think a second fridge would be required as it was always full. The kitchen counter could be cleaner. Of course it will depend on the guests, but it could be cleaned with bleach or a degreasing product at least once a day. I think also the couch and chairs with cloth should be vacuumed to avoid insect infestations. The cleaning ladies did a great job but it can be a bit hard to clean when some guests seem to never leave the place so maybe the common area and rooms could be closed for 1h or 2h during the day for cleaning.
The female dorm was big with a balcony, windows and AC, sockets near the bed, lockers as well as a bathroom with hair dryer. The room was clean. It was possible to do laundry with an extra cost as it is usual for hostels. There were towels to rent for 2€ only. The outside patio and decor was nice. The owner and cleaning ladies were very friendly. The place was located in a safe calm residential area. It was not in city center but there was a bus station 2 minutes away, a supermarket 2 minutes away and right next to a pizza/bistro open until 23h. For high season the price was good.

United KingdomThe rooms were a little tired and could do with some modernising, it's a shame that the art theme is only in the communal garden and not throughout the rooms and hostel. There is only one shower for 10 people, which made getting ready in the morning a bit of an effort. The shower door lock was also broken.
The best thing about the Hostel Art and Joy are the owners Sania and her daughter Marie, they are extremely friendly and accommodating. The shared garden/seating area is very lovely, bright and colourful. Overall the amenities are basic but fair for the room charge. All the guest were nice and respectful and I think that is also a tribute to the owners.

SpainSome hallion left a huge turd unflushed in the smaller bathroom. Probably admired it. Unfortunately there will always be some filthy animals checking into hostels.
The staff Marie and Sanja are friendly and informative. There is a good kitchen and terrace area with appealing decor, which are particularly welcoming for those travellers wanting to mix and exchange stories. I booked a single room for 2 nights and a triple room for one night (the single was only available for 2 nights) for solo use and the rates were reasonable. The single room is quite small and without a private WC and shower, both rooms were fine.

Canadaeverything exceeded our expeditions.
The hostels host was so friendly! I asked her if she would show my daughter the dorm rooms and she happily did so. Our room was actually two rooms. One with the bunkbed for the kids and the other with a queen bed for the parents. Very spacious accommodations. The hostel was gated and felt very safe and secure. We were on the ground floor with our door to a public hostel sitting area so security and safety was very much appreciated. AC worked very well. Clean in all aspects. Parking was on the street and up to the driver but we didn't have a problem both nights finding a spot on the same street. I really enjoyed the art everywhere in the accommodations. Ceilings, floors, walls. Fantastic!

SpainCan't think of anything in particular that I found objectionable.
The mosaics are quite quirky and give the hostel a very welcoming ambience. Sania and Marie are very pleasant hosts and very helpful, the cleaner does a fine job as well, but I can't remember her name (sorry). Private rooms are available, which for me are a must as I wouldn't subject my worst enemy to my horrendous snoring. Bathrooms are clean with well functioning shower units and the communal areas such as the kitchen and patios are well maintained and ideal for me mixing with other guests.
