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 reviewI stayed at Olaando Hostel for one night. Overall, the experience was okay, but I don’t think it offered good value for the price. The mattress was very thin and not comfortable, which made it hard to get a good night's sleep. Also, there wasn’t an electric plug for every bed, which was inconvenient — especially in a shared room. The breakfast was very simple, and for the same price, I’ve stayed in other places that offered more comfort and better amenities. Olaando might work if you just need a place to stay for a night, but I think there are better options available at the same price point.
Provide thicker, more comfortable mattresses Install an electric plug and a small reading light for each bed Offer a slightly more complete breakfast With a few upgrades, this hostel could offer a much better experience for guests.

Verified reviewI only stayed here for one night, and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. I don't usually sleep in hostels, but this time I decided to give it a try - and I was able to fall asleep easily, which is not something I take for granted. The atmosphere was quiet and pleasant, the place was clean and tidy, and the staff were kind and helpful. Although this is not my usual style of accommodation, I had a good experience that left a positive impression. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a simple, quiet and pleasant place to spend a night in Abu Dhabi.

Verified reviewNothing. The place was very disappointing and not worth staying at. Definitely not recommended.
This place shouldn't even be called a hostel. It was just two small rooms with beds crammed together. The bathroom was extremely dirty, with hair everywhere, and there was a terrible smell from the room and bed. I couldn't sleep all night. Even the towel they gave me had such a bad odor that I decided not to take a shower. Definitely not recommended.

Verified review- location: I needed to sleep one night near the airport to meet a person next day. 3 bus stops for 25 euro is perfect - beds were convenient which is rare for hostels - breakfast was good (take into account that sometimes only breakfast can be 25 euro in Abu Dhabi) - stuff was friendly - only 3 people in the room (i had luck) - NOBODY was loud in the night, which is perfect - owner likes metal and especially the Offspring (it was on TV)
It can be monus for someone, but beds are open (no curtain) But seriously, Idk what do you want for this price, hilton?:D
