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 owner! He was such a gentleman. Second is the cleanliness, the cleanest place I stayed at in Jordan. Absolutely spotless and smelling nice!
Nothing much I can write about except that it is a B&B, so you can't expect amenities like a hotel
Thanks for your feedback, really appreciated, however, I'm not sure what kind of facilities you are expecting from hostel ? Just to enhance our product in future, if possible.

Verified reviewWe had an amazing stay at this hotel and can’t recommend it enough! They were incredibly accommodating, allowing us to check in late at night with no hassle—such a relief after a long journey. The staff was very flexible and helpful, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. This is definitely one of the nicest accommodations we stayed at during our trip to Jordan. The property is fashionable and beautifully renovated, with a modern yet cozy vibe that we absolutely loved. The place was sparkling clean, and the beds were incredibly comfy, ensuring we had a great night's sleep. We were given the option to choose between two rooms, which was a nice touch. The location couldn’t be better—a short walk to all the main sights, which made exploring Madaba so easy and convenient. Our only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer to fully enjoy the charm of Madaba. Highly recommended! We would definitely love to come back and stay longer next time.
Thanks for your feedback, really appreciated.

Verified reviewWe were here for a short amount of time as it was our last stop before a very early (3:30am!) flight. We were just looking for somewhere to rest and clean up after a long day of sightseeing and driving and found the Classy Hostel online. Honestly it is misnamed. As someone who regularly stays in upscale hotels, this is not a hostel. It is a “mini” hotel with five or six private rooms with full baths upstairs above a local shopping street that is a block from the main sites in Madaba. The rooms are simply furnished (think Comfort Inn),roomy, and spotlessly clean with all new furniture and bedding. There is also a fridge and coffee/tea station plus cups, plates and utensils. The father/son team who run this are beyond accommodating and even dropped off some fruit and sweets so we would have a pre airport snack. We parked right on the street in front of the door and walked out in the middle of the night always feeling safe and secure. The owner had offered a private parking spot if we preferred but Jordan really is just so safe that we just opted for as close as possible. This place is a hidden gem as we could have spent three times as much on the airport hotel that has mediocre reviews and it was so nice to get to the airport refreshed. We would have happily stayed more nights if we had more time to explore the area.
There is a large sign above the building but they could use a small sign at the street level door. They did say they were working on that and the shop next to the door pointed us in the right direction. Jordanians are truly some of the most hospitable people.
Your feedback is really appreciated ☺️

Verified reviewThis place is a hidden gem! A small, family run hostel with a cordiale welcome from the owner who lives nextdoor. We had a beautiful, very clean, very comfortable and , yes, homey room. It had everything you would want, including coffee, tea and water, even fruit was awaiting us. The location is GREAT. In the vibrant centre, so close to restaurants, and the famous church and at the same time our room was facing the backyard and very quiet. A perfect combination. The car could be parked in front of the hostel. Yes on the street, but for the peace of mind of his customers, the landlord has a survey camera. We did not really worry about this as we have experienced the people in this country very mellow and friendly. The next day we left for the airport, which was an easy ride (20 minutes) without traffic jams.
Many thanks for your feedback, it's really appreciated.

Verified reviewGreat host. Great location On a busy street and very close to restaurants, banks, exchanges and local market. Close to the St Georges Church and other local Madaba attractions can be covered on foot. It was very chilly during end December, far more than what the AC can manage. The owner cam eup and provided a gas heater understanding that we were not comfortable due to cold inside the room. He is a very supportive man and provides you tips on local restaurants etc.
We went end December, and the cold was too much for the AC to manage
Dear Mr. Samit, Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. We appreciate hearing from our guests, as it helps us improve. Regarding your comments about the facilities, we would like to clarify what is typically offered in a hostel setting. Hostels generally focus on providing budget-friendly accommodations, and while we strive to meet guest needs, some facilities may differ from those available in hotels. Could you please clarify which specific facilities you were expecting, so we can better understand your perspective? As for the value of money, we believe our rates are competitive compared to other hostels in Jordan. If you have any concerns about pricing, please feel free to share them with us, and we would be happy to look into it. Regarding the air conditioning, we have checked the unit thoroughly, and it is functioning properly, covering the entire room. We also noticed that the blanket wasn’t used, as it is available to warm you up during cold nights. Lastly, while we are always happy to assist guests with their luggage when needed, it is important to clarify that carrying luggage is not part of our standard service. However, we are always here to help if assistance is requested. We value your feedback and hope you have a pleasant trip ahead. We would be more than happy to welcome you again should you choose to stay with us in the future. Classy Hostel

Verified reviewIt was beyond expectations. We had windows that opened so fresh air flowed through. Facilities were top notch. The hosts were so responsive and wonderful- thank you! We were only guests I think but even if more - private rooms. Calling it a hostel does not do justice to how nice everything it is. Very thoughtful design of space. Central location- easy to walk to everything including money exchange.
Loved it all!

Verified reviewFirst, this place is not a hostel, as the name suggests. This is a guesthouse with 6 modern rooms and a central location. It feels like a very safe place where you have everything you need in the room. The family who runs it couldn't be more hospitable and helpful, with timely communication in good English. Absolutely recommended with great value for money.
Really nothing to dislike here
