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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

CanadaThe kitchen facilities remain basics, it could benefit from a bit more love : some shared basics (oil, sugar, pepper, salt), a fan that people can turn on when cooking, racks to store the kitchen utilities under the sink, cups and plates that are restricted for the paid breakfast could be always available, etc. For the fridge, might be a good idea to have boxes instead of small plastic bags to store the food.
Really great location! We enjoyed a lot Botafogo : a lot of bars, restaurants, supermarkets that are less than 10 min walk from the hostel, 5-7 min walk from Botafogo metro station Nice staff that work at the hostel, we enjoyed Winner's recommendations! Confortable beds, clean room, good air conditioning in the room. The breakfast option (approx 15$R per person), even if basic, was satisfying.

Switzerland- Hotel staff didn‘t give us any recommendations or any kind of welcoming feeling. - Not a big hostel vibe. - Wifi almost never worked properly.
Safe and nice location in Botafogo (after being there we‘d rather go to ipanema though). AC was working well.

ItalyWi-Fi was good only in communal areas but very slow in the rooms, bunk beds are a bit uncomfortable and with no privacy curtain, the hostel can be a little bit noisy sometimes, bathrooms could be cleaner.
Great location in a rather safe area in Botafogo close to the beach, restaurants, shops, supermarkets, metro station and other public transport, there are also direct buses from Botafogo to the Corcovado train (bus 584) and to the Sugar Loaf cable car (bus 513). Good A/C and the staff are very friendly and helpful, the shared kitchen is decently equipped.

France-the bad organization of the breakfast :(sometimes they forgot to buy fruit, sometimes the milk, the juice .. and they gave us many days the same pieces of cake because it had not been finished) . - There is no problem taking naps , but just need to leave some space for the guest : in turn, the staff takes naps all day in the sofas of the living room, so they occupy the entire space of the shared living room and leave no space for the guests. -the Hostel don’t propose or organise activities. But it s a good place to sleep.
-the room was very good (big enough for everyone and comfortable) - the senhora of the staff take care of the cleanliness of the place so the hostel is very clean and airy -the hostel is calm -the staff was nice
