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 reviewExceptionally clean and modern facilities, the staff are extremely friendly and helpful, let me check in slightly earlier which was an absolute relief! Lockers provided, towels also.
Only dislike is that the hostel is a 50 minute walk from Bar bus station and it's quite a climb to reach. Excluding that, it's an excellent hostel, highly recommend
Dear Shaun! Thank you for your kind words! We wish you a pleasant journey 🌸

Verified reviewWe had a lovely stay! The beach is just a 10-minute easy walk from the accommodation, which was perfect for us. The room was clean and comfortable, and the owners were always available and helpful whenever we needed anything. The kitchen is spacious and well-organized, with enough room for everyone to store their things and cook.
The only downsides were the small bathroom, which tends to flood if you take a longer shower, and the limited parking space. Still, overall we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it!
Dear guests! Thank you very much for your kind words. We hope to see you again! Have a nice day 🌺

Verified reviewEverything. The host and hostess are the sweetest people I have met in years. I felt as if they were relatives. Great people, warm hearted, social and sophisticated. The property has a massive garden to hang out, and two covered areas with modern chairs and tables. The kitchen has all the utensils you need to even cook a Christmas dinner 😆😁 800 mts from everything, yes its up the hill, but once you arrive you forget about the hill bc the AC actually works, the bathroom is modern and beds dont make noise. They are framed to the wall and don't move 🤓
Some spider webs in the lower level hangout area, the floor could be washed also. But it's alright.
Dear Hernan! We were very happy to meet you! Thank you for our conversations, and thank you for your kind words. We wish you success in your business and safe travels. Nos vemos 🌺

Verified reviewI did not care much for this hostel It was clean and tidy inside, but it needs some TLC outside.
No one around in reception you wander around on your own.There are no curtains at window to block out light. No curtains for privacy on the bunks. I had to use my sheet. Broken outside shutter would not work. Upkept gardens and foot tall grass bottles left lying around. Children's playground was a joke. Are the pictures on booking.com the pictures that don't reflect today or from the past. This hostel outside needs a make-over. All the outside was untidy with rubbish stacked around in the boundary. Floor tiles were covered in dirt and had not been mopped, brushed or cleaned for a long time with plant life hugging the cornets.. No bins in rooms. Toilet and showers in room, and if someone is showering, there was no alternative tousethe toulet. Beds left unmade from previous occupants. It seems the hostel is being run by itself. There was no one on site to converse with about attractions about what to see and do. The reception is closed all day. Almost 3 km to centre. 4 km to bus station and railway station. 7.5 kms to old town. People giving this 10 are delusional. This property needs someone to tend to the outside, but inside generally inside was clean and tidy, comfortable. I'm being honest from my perspective yours might be different that this hostel needs some loving care Andrew .
