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 reviewThe staff was very friendly and helpful, the location was good and the premises were fairly clean - habitable for a couple of days. Also, a towel was included in the price which was nice.
The beds were uncomfortable, there was no A/C in the rooms (this is Cyprus in the summer!) and the ceiling fan wasn't doing much, and, finally, it wasn't exactly dirty but there were ants everywhere

Verified reviewThe staff and volunteers by far make this place the most peaceful haven to stay. The location is excellent and the decor throughout created a great energy which made my stay there 10/10. I contacted the property in advance with a personal matter and they responded extremely fast and ensured I was taken care of. I would recommend this property to anyone!!

Verified reviewLovely 'old school' style of hostel! Small, with staff that actually talks to you and in no time you will walk in and out as if you were home. The building is well thought with plenty places to chill (terrace outside, living room, large fully equipped kitchen). In a moment where most of hostels in Europe are 'modern' super polished places, it was quite inspiring to stay here! The female dorm was spacious, you have a locker (and they provide the lock) to keep your belongings, balcony. There are two shared toilets just next to the room (so really convenient). The room has a ceiling fan (no AC). There is a few parking spots (3-4 spaces) in front of the hostel, so if you are renting a car, this is quite convenient. The area is mostly residential, I havent explored much, but felt safe and quiet.
You should not expect luxury in a budget price hostel. Overall it was a pleasant stay, shared kitchen and chatty staff really made my stay. The only two things to refer is if you are sensitive to heat, not having AC can make sleeping a bit challenging in the hot summer months and the cleaning standard could be improved.

Verified reviewThe owner of the hostel is a very open and friendly person. He is always present in the hostel and immediately responds to any requests. The hostel is very clean, there are many places on the territory where you can sit, chat and work. There are two bathrooms, which are almost always free. All rooms have lockers. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need. The sea and the embankment are 15 minutes walk away. A large food court with many inexpensive cafes of different cuisines is a 10-minute walk away - it is called Agora.
The room with 4 beds is very small and there is no personal space.

Verified review-
The room was really small, this was the room for 4 people. It had a door to the garden, a door to the communal area and the windows to the noisy road. I have slept 3 hrs, as the hostel is full of young party people and they were still laughing, and being loud at 2-3am. I booked and paid for 2 nights, but I immediately left after the first night. I case you want to sleep more than 3 hrs then this is not your place to be.
Dear Barbara, We are sorry to hear that your stay was not as expected. Lemongrass Hostel is located in a quiet neighborhood and is not known as a party hostel. However, we understand that sometimes guests can be noisier than usual, which is beyond our control. For those who are sensitive to noise, we always recommend earplugs, which we provide for free at the reception. Best regards, The Lemongrass Hostel Team

Dear [Name], Your claims are completely false and do not reflect the reality or the values of Lemongrass Hostel. At our hostel, the safety and respect of all guests are our top priorities, and we would never tolerate such behavior. Additionally, the owner was abroad during the days you were here, making your accusations entirely unfounded. On the contrary, you caused damage to the kitchen door by breaking the glass. All visual evidence of the incident has been recorded and sent to Booking.com. Furthermore, our staff reported finding medication boxes for Xanax in your bed, and they observed that your behavior was very strange and aggressive toward others. If there was any issue during your stay, it would have been more appropriate to report it to our team or the relevant authorities rather than spreading false information. Best regards, The Lemongrass Hostel Team

Verified reviewIt's only a 6-minute walk from one of the stops for the bus coming from Paphos. People seem to be respectful of one's stored food in the kitchen.
There are not enough hooks in the bathrooms to hang your personal belongings. Also, they manipulate what hooks there are with a communal hand towel, something I don't use, especially after COVID.
