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.).

PolandWhoever made the beds in women’s dorms seems to really hate the guests 😆 Its almost impossible to get on top of the bunk bed without hurting yourself, even for someone who enjoys climbing. I left with a couple of bruises because of the beds construction and the freakin’ „ladder”. Kitchen could be bigger and more guest friendly, it was difficult to find even a simple cup there. It was also a bit smelly because of stored old food.
The hostel is located by the ocean, with a beautiful view and just few minutes away by walk from Ariffana Beach. The atmosphere is friendly and chill, there is a bunch of common spaces and evening activities which helps to meet people. Its a big hostel, but well maintained with many bathrooms and cozy corners ;) It was a very pleasant place to get back to after a long trek by the coast. Wagner from the reception and cafe was very friendly and welcoming. And he also put on great music which made the stay even nicer :)

HungaryI didn't like the beds frame. When I was climbing the stairs the top piece of agglomerate wood almost broke. If I had not let it go I would have broke it and fallen on my back.
The infrastructure is quite impressive. It has many common areas in which you can make yourself comfortable. I really enjoyed the terrace and the inside area for working and chilling. The coffee, burger and chicken salad are spot on.

United KingdomFancy hostel- nice rooftop space to look out over the bay, and a small pool etc. Beautiful artwork in the stairwell made of recycled rubbish found in the sea. Well equipped kitchen, comfy and clean bedrooms. Excellent Brazilian acoustic trio played one night. Short walk down to Arrifana beach which is stunning. Recommend walking the Costa Vicentina north from here. Stunning coastal views on the way to Praia de Monte Clerigo.

GermanyThe hostel is under renovation, there were no kitchen facilities and no bar or anywhere to get food or drink. We were there during a storm, but the outside facilities looked like they would be lovely in good weather.
The room was spacious with a good shower and over all bathroom facilities. Beds were comfy, we had a lovely view to the sea.

The locatuon is great with ocean views right on the Fisherman’s trail. The rooms were spacious & clean, the beds comfortable, the shower strong and hot. We had great ocean views from our room. The breakfast buffet was great - it cost 10€ if not included in rm. We ate at the restaurant for supper. The menu is small but it had some vegetarian options for us. There is a nice patio area and a full bar. There is also a small pool but we didn't use it.There is a shared kitchen with a refrigerator but it was not very clean.
