Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United States of AmericaBathroom wasn’t super clean - they cleaned every day but the shower was kind of dirty and messy (people left things there, there was hair on the wall). The open area was open from 9-12pm (which doesn’t make sense bc everybody was out of the hostel by this time). No kitchen :(
Great location! Good and cheap options for breakfast ($6)

PortugalPlease bring your own lock - didnt see it was required before travelling - not used to stay at hostels thats probably why. Staff at the reception could be nicer but ok. Its pretty basic but has what you need for a few days.
I have stayed in only female room, i was lucky everybody was respectful of noise and clean. The room was clean enough. For the price it is good option in expensive Miami.

GermanyWe arrived at 1:30pm at the hostel and asked if we could already do the check-in process so we can get into the room straight away at 3pm (which is the official check-in time), as we had to leave latest at 4pm for an event and still needed to get ready. We've been told we have to wait until 3pm, nothing can be done before that. So we walked around the area and came back at 3pm. At that time already 7-8 people were in line in front of us to do the check-in. We had to wait at least 1 hour and only got into the room after 4pm (at that time we wanted to be ready and leave). Because of that we left late and got stuck in the rush hour after work traffic which we wanted to avoid. And we were more than 1 hour late for the event. During the second night the card to my room did not work. I went to the reception 4 times and in the end the staff had to come to the room with me and open the door for me. For the second night of our stay we had to book separate rooms upfront (10 bed form female & 10 bed dorm mixed), due to availability. At arrival we asked if a of the booking of one of the other travelers might have changed and they can move us into one room. They told us there is one free bed in the mixed dorm, however the mixed dorm is more expensive vs the female dorm and they would need to charge us the new price of the room now if we want to change. The new price was apparently 162 Dollar (for one bed in a 10 bed dorm!!!). Which was ridiculous because we paid the same price for both dorms when booking the rooms and we did not want to make a new booking, just asked if they can move us into one room (both 10 bed dorms).
The location of the hostel is great if you want to enjoy Miami beach. Even though we had very bad luck and stayed at the hostel during 2 rainy days and could not go to the beach at all. The beds were okay, actually more comfortable than we expected from the pictures, they were just shaking/moving quite a lot. Rooms were quite clean even though you could tell that they were a bit overwhelmed with the amount of guests (it seemed to be fully booked). And there was a lot of luggage standing around in the room which made it hard for staff to clean it properly (obviously not their fault).
