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.).

ThailandThe fridge temp is at one setting so my avocado and boil eggs froze up. A separate storage unit outside the fridge would of been good too, there was no where to put other stuff but in your room.
The room had everything, a shelf, clothes rack and plenty of hooks, table and chair. Love the hot water system. A smart TV, I did not subscribe to any of the apps so was not used. Kitchen was good everyone a spot in the fridge. Location is good in the centre of town.

LatviaSince I was there during the Carnival time, it was a bit loud during the night. But nothing to do with the Hostal Hansi, just that time of the year.
I liked everything. It was my 4th time staying there, and the place never disappoints. The kitchen is spacious, clean and well equipped, the staff are friendly but discreet, the location is the best.

BrazilA little noisy neighborhood in my first night. There is no hot water for showering, but they allowed me take a shower in another bathroom with hot water.
The location is excellent, very close to where the taxi boats arrive/depart and close to the shops. The single room is exactly as it appears in the photos published. The bathroom is shared with another single room and there is no hot water for showering. The place is clean and comfortable. The staff is very attentive and helpful.

United KingdomThe location was a bit noisy and fellow guests also but this is not something the hostel could help. One suggestion I will make, please buy a toaster as then the kitchen would be perfect!
Very well organised hostel and kept super clean, the shared kitchen was also very good. The staff were extremely kind and helpful, I got bitten by a dog and the lady at reception helped me to dress the wound twice and was very caring (thank you!). It was a great location close to ferries and central park, many shops and restaurants nearby and also buses.

NetherlandsNot social at all, some noices from the street.
Location is perfect, personal is very helpful and kind and the place is great and clean. Only it was quite expensive for what you get, but I stayed there during NYE and all the places were expensive in Bocas then. The place is not social so not a place to stay if you're looking for social vibes.

United KingdomThe staff was nice and very helpful but could have been more knowledgeable when asked for local advice. At night it was loud as drunken people loitered outside. It can’t be helped: Bocas Town is loud.
Good value for money; good location; there is a kitchen in case you are on a budget (and you can in any case store water there which is good)
