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.).

CanadaAlthough the location is great, the traffic can be pretty loud.
The owners are an excellent source of information, very approachable and knowledgeable. The location is good as it is both near the bus station and the port. The bathrooms were very big and clean. The kitchen is nice, and there is a great porch to look out onto the street.

PhilippinesThe upper bunk bed is rickety and not comfortable. They should ensure that the drinking water supply is always available and not let guests run out of it.
The kitchen and bathroom/toilet are clean and well-maintained. The staff were friendly and helpful. Location is good.

AustraliaBelize isn't cheap, so while this is the best value and most economical option in Belize City, it's still not "cheap". The window has louvers on it which don't shut completely, so you still get road noise and warm air (and possibly mosquitos) coming into the room.
Friendly staff, fast internet, super comfortable and good location. Yes, there is road noise, but it didn't bother me - I'm quite a heavy sleeper. Belize City has a reputation, but this is probably in the best part of the central city.

United KingdomIt can get very noisy during the whole night! never stopping traffic, loud and noisy cruising motorbikes and trucks are very common. Also I made the mistake to choose the cheapest room, which doesn't have air conditioning! just pay a bit extra for all other rooms that have it, because you'll need it!
It's close to shops and food places and markets. The place is very clean and tidy with comfortable chairs, sofa and dinner table. There is big kitchen however the fridge and freezer need to be cleaned and maintained much better.

United StatesGreat hostel in a convenient location, and the staff is wonderful! The facilities are very clean, and the other travelers I stayed with were fantastic -- friendly, cool people :) I arrived in the evening and though there is a convenience store downstairs from the hostel, it doesn't serve food, but I got a recommendation from the cashier for a takeout establishment just a couple of minutes walk down the street called the Rice and Beans Center, where the portions are BIG, ans the food was delicious. There are lots of nearby food options that won't disappoint. I shared a 6-bed (3 bunk) room with A/C, which I really welcomed, as it was expectedly hot and humid. There are 2 bathrooms, one of which is an ensuite in one of the shared rooms. My only comment regarding the facilities is that the water pressure was a bit low, both for the toilet and shower. The hostel also provides an airport shuttle for $30 USD and lots of information for transportation for other tours. Thanks for the nice stay at the end of my trip!

United KingdomIt needs softening with a bit of decor. The light bulbs are all bright white so it’s very stark. The bunk beds did not have ladders - luckily there were some young ‘uns on the top beds so they coped ok but that would’ve been a disaster for some. Not enough plug sockets. Lamps, sockets and shelves next to the bed would make it 5* It’s very noisy due to the traffic so make sure you have good ear plugs.
Clean!! Very! As in all feels shiny and new. Kitchen is fabulous. Bathrooms are clean and plentiful. There’s free chilled and filtered water and the chap who runs it is very helpful via WhatsApp, although wasn’t physically around for my check in but we spoke via the Ring Doorbell and that was good enough.

India1) Stairs difficult to carry heavy luggage up. 2) An ill-treated, yelping dog tied behind a house on a neighbouring property, suffering in the pouring rain, not separated by a fence, is a pain to watch. 3) Hot water tepid. 4) Loud sounds from the busy street intersection. 5) I wondered if the property was adequately secured, given the situation in Belize city. 6) Rain came through open windows and messed up a significant part of the wooden floor. 7) Dorms are a little cramped with little space to open luggage, although a huge part of the bathroom space is wasted - a redesign of the space if possible would be great even for the property to optimize usage, as several large open common spaces are unused, but living spaces are cramped.
1) A helpful young host working super hard, trying earnestly to establish a great travel housing option amid several micro- and macro-level challenges, often overcoming staffing challenges by pitching in themselves. 2) Charming property. 3) Ample kitchen. 4) Hot and cold drinking water kept available for free. 5) Large bed in the dorm. 6) A good location at an important street corner, from where key locations are accessible.

SwedenThe building itself is a bit old but it's very clean anyway, I guess it's really good for Belize standards. What I actually disliked is the fact that the windows do not close/isolate at night, there is only the external cover for the light but there is no noise protection, so that the whole night there was extreme noise of the cars passing by (it's on a central big street). I am generally not affected by noise by other guests in hostels so that I don't carry earplugs but in this hostel I think you need earplugs anyway! I hope the window thing can get fixed in the future because otherwise this hostel is so nice and cozy.
A very cosy hostel, although they say that Belize city is dangerous, the hostel itself provides a sense of security and a cozy feeling. The owner is very nice and helpful. The location is central and you can walk to the port if you take a very to Caye Caulker. Its very clean, you get a free towel, you have socket in every bed. Spacious kitchen and filtered water provided.
