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.).

FranceBest hostel I've ever stayed in. Located right in the center of Porto, in the São Bento train station, it offers easy access to all the city's landmarks in a very short time. The rooms are spacious and well-equipped, allowing a degree of privacy from other guests. Bathrooms and showers are modern and well-equipped, and everything is washed daily! The 3rd floor has a spacious kitchen with all the necessary utensils. There's also a chill-out area where some of the hostel's activities take place. As far as activities are concerned, they are numerous and varied, from karaoke to pub crawl to sunset. I met some excellent people during my 9 nights at the hostel, and never felt lonely. A big big up to Tadhg, Thomas and all the other volunteers with whom I loved spending time!

SpainCouldn't fault the place!
This place was magnificent - hard to believe it is a hostel. Even though it was attached to the train station, you did not hear a single train. I loved the atmosphere & the styling of the place. Being so close to the city centre & the Cathedral made access to the attractions very easy. Only a short, pretty walk to the Ribiera, also.

Belgiumthe shower water was cold at 2 am and at 8 in the morning. For the moment, there are a lot of roadworks (for the tram) so it was quite noisy, even during the night (security beeps when the machines go backwards).
Great venue, extremely friendly staff, beds were quite comfy (but the third bunkbed is quite high, so the ladder is a bit steep for a 42-year-old)

CanadaNot a con, but the timed turn off of the water in the shower can a bit annoying. I do understand it's to conserve water waste . The good thing about that is people aren't taking long showers and blocking the stalls :)
The location is unbeatable. It's inside the same bento station and everything is super walkable. Breakfast spread was delicious and waay better than most hostels. Staff is very friendly and helpful. The rooms are spacious. Even the dorm with 12 beds never felt cramped because of the tall walls and windows and whole sofa set inside the dorm room. The best hostel I have stayed on my portugal trip

CanadaI’ve stayed in quite a few hostels but the Passneger Hostel in Porto exceeded my expectations. It’s located in Sao Bento Staion and is very central. The staff were super friendly and hospitality. From the moment I arrived everyone was very welcoming. The hostel is very clean and the house keepers are very sweet. If and when I return to Porto I will definitely be staying here again.

BrazilThe showers on the suíte floor were not hot, and therer were no towels disposable for guests we had to rent it for 2euro at the reception, and then take the two euro back when giving the towels back… also the showers you had to keep pressing the buttons to work. I tought the place is too fancy for that you know? Just let the guests shower hot and well, comfortably:) Also, after 5Am a techno party started on the streets, so if you have problems with sleep and is taking this trip to relax, the noisy location won’t feet for you.
