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 had an incredible stay at Petra Cabin Hostel and can’t recommend it highly enough! From the moment I arrived, the staff went out of their way to make me feel welcome and comfortable. They were incredibly friendly, helpful, and always available to assist with local recommendations, directions, or even just a warm smile. The cabins are thoughtfully designed—compact yet cozy, clean, and surprisingly comfortable. Each cabin offers enough privacy for a restful sleep, and the shared spaces are well-maintained and inviting. The hostel has a calm and peaceful atmosphere, perfect after a long day exploring Petra. One of the biggest highlights was the location. Just minutes away from the Petra Visitor Center, it made getting to and from the archaeological site extremely convenient. Plus, the hostel offers great views of the surrounding mountains, especially at sunrise and sunset. The value for money is outstanding. The amenities, cleanliness, location, and hospitality far exceeded my expectations for the price. There’s also a great communal vibe that makes it easy to meet other travelers if you’re looking for a social experience. Overall, Petra Cabin Hostel is a hidden gem. Whether you're a solo traveler, a couple, or a group of friends, it’s a perfect base for visiting Petra. I would absolutely stay here again!

Verified reviewI had an incredible experience at Petra Cabin Hostel! The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming — they truly made me feel at home. From helping with local tips to arranging transport and meals, they went above and beyond. The location is ideal — just a short walk from Petra’s entrance, which made it super convenient to get an early start. The capsule cabins were clean, cozy, and private, with charging ports, lights, and curtains for a great night’s sleep. One of the best surprises was the food. The dinner was freshly prepared and delicious, offering a taste of local Jordanian flavors. I also appreciated the packed lunch box they offered for Petra hikes — generous portions, healthy options, and super convenient for a full day of exploring. The bathrooms and common areas were spotless, and breakfast was tasty and filling with a good mix of options. I also enjoyed the relaxed, social vibe in the lounge where travelers gathered to share stories. Fantastic, kind staff Clean, modern capsules Delicious dinner & handy lunch boxes Excellent location Great value for money I’d highly recommend Petra Cabin Hostel to anyone visiting the area — it was one of the best parts of my Jordan trip!

Verified reviewIt is really cheap and close to the visitor's center, so you can walk there. The beds are very large and comfortable, and the bathrooms were kept clean.
The facilities are a bit tricky to access, the entrance is not very clearly marked and the common area/stairs look a bit broken down. The breakfast is definitely not worth it here.

Verified reviewPetra Cabin Hostel is the best accommodation for solo travelers. The location is 5 minutes from the Petra visitor center and within the shopping district. The staff are friendly and helpful. It was safe, internet and shower worked, and the bed was perfect after a day of hiking. The value of this spot is really worthwhile, because of how central and capsule-like it was. I really enjoyed my time in Petra and would highly recommend Petra Cabin Hostel.

Verified reviewGreat location! Something like a 10 minute walk to both the Jett bus station and the entrance to Petra. Very clean and comfy. Big shared area. Great breakfast and dinner buffet at a reasonable price. The beds are large and have comfy bedding. There's a plastic accordion curtain that closes your bed and gives you privacy. Everyone was really quiet and I slept well.
Nothing. All good.

Verified reviewHands down the comfiest bed I’ve slept in at a hostel. I was having issues booking a Jett bus back to Amman and the owner called the Jett office and their system was down so that was nice of him to check on that for me. The only down side was I had Luke warm water when I took a shower

Verified reviewThe hostel is literally a 5 minute maximum walk from Petra Viator centre. I like how the cabins are very spacious. I was able to get a shower before check in so I could then head straight to Petra. The whole cabin locks (bring a padlock for this) and then you have a lockable cupboard in your cabin which has a key for.
I wasn’t a fan of the dinner but this is personal preference
