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...).

SpainVery lovely staff. I arrived at 7am and they let me stay in the common area until my bed was ready. They also kept my backpack for free the next day. Kitchen, good shared room and great location.

United KingdomThere is nothing not to like.
The owner Natalia was very accommodating. She made sure our stay was comfortable and offered great communication. When she was not present her staff members Sandra and Marcel were really friendly and helpful. The rooms were some of the best we stayed in Salvador after a 3 week stay. The location is very good, right by all the attractions of Salvador. The beaches are not far away at all (Uber).

It was just a one night stop for me and it was perfect. It's all new and the dorms are comfy. Good kitchen. The location is great and close to the ferry terminal.

ItalyWi-Fi was good only in the rooms but not working at all in the communal area/shared kitchen, bunk beds have no privacy curtain.
Great location in Carmo just next to Pelourinho and Santo Antonio in the city centre, close to shops and restaurants, clean rooms and toilets. Good A/C and the staff are very friendly and helpful, the shared kitchen is decently equipped. Metro station (Campo da Pólvora) is a little bit far, about a 12/15 minute walk.

IsraelBad location for transport, food, groceries, and pretty much anything that is not Capoeira. No place to sit around and have wifi connection. There are chairs or sofas only in the kitchen, which is beyond the limits of the wifi. The AC in the room was freezing and I had disagreements with other guys and had to escape to the kitchen in order to keep my body temperature in liveable levels.
Good location if you need to do stuff in the Pelourinho. Not central Pelourinho, so not too noisy from drumming. Go up the street for nice evening walks, with live music and good people. The place is new, clean, and neat.

BrazilProbably not the hostel where you would meet a lot people as the only common area is the kitchen
Everything was quite new, they made the beds each day and changed the towels which was a nice surprise. They leave the air con control in the room so it can be as cold as you want which is much needed in Salvador weather. Last the location is very central an close to everything

United KingdomNot much by way of facilities or local tips but it's not a social hostel/tour agency so I'm being picky...
Location was really good and it was cheap. I only used the room for the day as I was going on to Lencois in the overnight bus. They were more than accomodating and the hostel is chilled

United KingdomThe bed seems old as it was making some noise. As the Pelourinho is near some noise can be heard. I would recommend ear plugs for very light sleepers, or if you are in the shared room (as the shared room is facing the street)
The location of the hostel is top tier : near the heart of the Pelourinho, restaurants and main attraction are 2min walk from the hostel. The room was very spacious, and bathroom just what you need, nothing fancy. The people working here are very helpful and nice trying their best to make your stay confortable

MalaysiaI just have to be honest here, since the owner speaks little English, im not sure a better way to describe my issues with the hotel. Some of the facilities need an improvement. The most obvious is the shower which is connected to heater and electric. Unfortunately when I try to adjust the shower’s head position, there was a mild electrical shock, which worried me to death. Its quite dangerous, and i have no better way to explain this to owner. The faucet was also had an issue, and thank god I realized before the whole floor was flooded
The location, which is in the heart of old town. Room was quite spacious as well

United States of AmericaThis place is pretty bare bones. The bed was too small. Don’t book here if you’re looking for ANY kind of hostel vibe or are trying to meet other travelers. There’s no common area. Feels more like Airbnb apartments than a hostel. Our drain was stinky and the sink leaked. There’s no filtered water available for guests and little information given about the hostel and area at check-in. Would book somewhere else next time. So much potential in this property though!
In Santo Antônio and easy walk to Pelorinho. Clean room and friendly staff. Decent price given the expensive area. Liked the spacious room and balcony.
