How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewOne of the comfiest hostel I’ve stayed at. You get your own semi-private room in a dorm and really have your own privacy, it’s agreeable when you wanna have some “me-time”. Dorms are also cleaned daily, sheets changes upon request. Common areas are also cool for hanging out Big big shoutout to the staff! Nada, Jack & Rizki are always there to help you and make you feel like home. Hardworking people!

Verified reviewWe had such a lovely time staying at Wanderlust Hostel. Super chill vibes, clean, and a really nice outside hangout area. A lot of surfers staying here so if that’s your thing this is a great place to stay. And the staff (Nada, Riski, Kevin, Jack) were amazing!! Super lovely people, always happy to help and have great recommendations. I’d definitely recommend staying at Wanderlust.
Not enough toilets, people in the double beds might think they are in a private room so it can be loud sometimes

Verified reviewEverything was clean, and taken care of. The bed was confortable, hot shower, free coffee and tea all the day, nice swimming pool, good to make friends around. Good commun area. The staff was kind and helpful.
Privacy in the dormitory, but it was mention so it’s not really fair to put it, otherwise the location wasn’t the best, good if you have a moped, but far if you want to walk. Not many storage.

Verified reviewIt’s really well located, the staff is so welcoming and nice. It’s clean !
We stayed in dorms with double beds and really didn’t like it. Obviously as people sleep 2 by 2 in a the same bed they all are talking together and you can hear everything they say. Not the best sleep

Verified reviewLove how the rooms have their own private dorms, the beds are comfy, good price
The location isn’t good if you don’t have a scooter as it’s quite a far and uncomfortable walk to the Main Street. I would not recommend getting your laundry done here as they messed up my laundry, it came back dirty. It seems like majority of people here were from one nationality (French) but that’s not the hotels fault, the atmosphere just didn’t feel very welcoming or social but maybe it was just my luck.
