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 reviewOutstanding hostel in all respects. The location is good, the staff is very friendly and it is very clean.
The only thing I dislike is that alcoholic drinks are completely banned inside the hostel. So you cannot enjoy a few millilitres of wine with your meals. A pity indeed.

Verified reviewThe staff was very friendly. Everything was clean. There was a good kitchen for guests use.
I would have liked a curtain for the window. Some light was coming through, and it might also help dampen the street noice. The fire alarm producing a bright flashing green light which made it hard to sleep.
Hi Brenden! Thank you very much for your excellent review! It is an immense pleasure for us to receive feedback like yours. Thanks for the curtain suggestion and for pointing out the fire light. We will be evaluating the best way to make this more comfortable. We hope to see you here again! Sincerely, Tapera Hostel Team.

Verified reviewQuiet (got a 6 bed dorm to ourselves so that helped) clean and larger lockers for bags felt more safe.
Lack of charging points, shelf and small light by bed. Loud outside but ear plugs helped.

Verified reviewGood location close to public transit. Very clean. Great for solo travelers and digital nomads. I also saw families and couples there. The environment is more like a hotel than a hostel- most people seem to be there for business and keep to themselves, however most people will be friendly and talk to you if you want to!
Hey :) Honest feedback is what we like, so we know when we're on the right track. Thank you very much for choosing to stay at Tapera Hostel. We hope to see you soon!

Verified reviewThe location was excellent, right next to Avenida Paulista and a metro station. They had a rooftop terrace which was great to see the sunset.
When I was there it was quite empty so there was not much atmosphere or events going on.
Hi Olivia :) We are happy that you enjoyed your stay with us. Our terrace is really incredible! We hope to see you soon! Thanks!
