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.).

United KingdomThe 6 person room was a little small for 6 people. I saw some of the other rooms and it was small in comparison. No air con, I think it might be a bit uncomfortable in the summer.
I haven't stayed in a hostel for a while so I was a bit nervous. Casa d'Alagoa was such a lovely stay. The receptionists were always helpful and friendly and the reception area is stocked with essentials (beer on tap)! There is a dinner and drinks every night which was a good way to meet other travellers. The location was great and in a pretty area of Faro. The beds were comfy and the curtain was great for privacy. It was all super clean and the bathrooms were nice too. I was able to leave my stuff in the room after check out and use all the common areas until i left which was a bonus. Loved the roof terrace!

Netherlandsthe loud music, played by the staff, at night ( not after 23.00but in the 4 mix bedroom you just lay straight in their music, the entrance and they just do not notice that if you already went to bed early you are in the middle of that). In general a lack of sensitivity to how much space to take and how to take care not to bother the guests...before someone comes to ask... The bath, in which to take a shower couldnt deal with the waterflood, You stand in the water... The noise from people upstairs bonqing on the floor...while walking...was loud.
It is really a great place, comfy and new, clean and bright.Very central, in the old city..service good, info on the wall, kitchen good equipped, place to hang out and to work, even outside garden place, really comfy and nice..

NetherlandsBathroom didn't have hot water. That was a mild inconvenience.
The hostel was superb. The rooms were clean and had all the facilities one may need. The best thing was there was a mirror in the the room. The bathroom was very nice and beautiful. The hostel staff was very friendly and helpful. The hostel has many common areas where we can chill. A kitchen will all the appliances and free coffee and tea. The happy hour system was a cherry on top. The best thing was the dinners organized by the hostel.

MalaysiaThe loud music at the lobby at night. They have to be considerate even though there are some happy hour but be mindful there are also people who need to take a rest early. The room key? What is that for when the door is not even closed. Anyone can come in and out.
The kitchen is perfect, and the hostel surroundings.

We had a lovely if brief stay at Casa d'Alagoa which is a well-equipped hostel near central Faro. The staff are friendly and helpful and the hostel has plenty of facilities and social spaces - bathrooms, a well-equipped kitchen, and outdoor areas including a roof terrace. All in all, we had a great stay and would highly recommend!
