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.).

United KingdomWould've been nice to receive some information about the city, the public transport and the main attractions as travellers usually rely on their accommodation to provide this sort of information and assist with tours.
I had great sleep here for a week. There are some long term guests who have created a respectful atmosphere where everyone is able to rest and have space. The pool was great and always clean. The common areas are cleaned several times a day. The breakfast is very filling but there's an additional charge for eggs. There's a small shop next door which is very convenient and a couple of big supermarkets within 5 mins.

AustraliaBreakfast was pancakes or waffles, they did provide fruit but otherwise not very healthy option. No towels provided. Room had aircon but no remote so it was only on one very cold setting. There was a ceiling fan but turned off with the light.
We stayed for 1 night for a layover between San Blas islands and flying out of Panama City. It was fine for that and did the job. Was quiet. Breakfast lady was very lovely.

NetherlandsBesides Ingrid the rest of the staff was all day at mobile phone. Although it was also difficult to communicate because they dont speak English. The facilities are a bit old and not really well maintained. But ok it was working.
This hostel is runned by a family. I loved the older lady Ingrid, she makes delicious breakfast every morning and she was always so friendly and kind. Nice pool to cool down when its hot at Panama City. Clean hostel.

United KingdomCame back for one night stay. The lady at reception was very nice and was happy to be back, she made me feel very welcome. Facilities are not the greatest, dorm is small with no window and the config of the sink and 2 bathrooms inside doesn't offer a comfortable stay. Location is good and I was fine for one night only, but not more.

United KingdomThe lady at the reception is so nice and so helpful, giving me a lot of information about the public transport and the main visiting points. I cannot believe she works such long hours everyday, I was seeing her in the morning at 7AM until 10PM at night, plus she in charge of so many things at the hostel : cleaning, changing bedsheets - she really deserves a big promotion! The dorm was a bit small for 3 bunk beds ( 6 beds)and felt claustrophobic: no space for luggage, big backpacks would be in the way, there is no window. There are 2 bathrooms (toilet and wc) inside the dorm itself and just one sink without any door, you can hear whenever people are washing their hands /brush teeth. You have to pay for soap and shower gel if you don't have any. towels are to rent.

GermanyThe first time we stayed there, we had a small double room with no windows. There was an air con which you could turn on and off only - you couldn't chose the temperature. Also the whole room smelled like mold which was an nightmare.
Staff was really friendly and helpful. The breakfast lady makes amazing waffles! Internet was working well. We have been there two times, the second time we had a nice big room with a private bathroom - everything was clean and well aired.

A nice hostel in a nice area with all necessary facilities. The staff is really nice, the wifi works good enough, daily breakfast is offered. There's a pool and it's within walking distance to public transport and a restaurants. There's also a mini store next to it with all the basics. Laundry service and tours are on offer
