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...).

GermanyWas all good. Just missed a peeler to peel potatoes carrots etc in the kitchen. As the kitchen was recently reopened, they probably gonna buy soon one. :)
Lovely view at the lagoon and Niteroi. Overall in the night. A lot of space to sit chill and lay around. TV and sofas, a hammock, a pool and more space to chill at the pool. All what the heart wants. Then you have lapa and it’s bars close but far enough that’s quite in the hostel :)

RWC Hostel is absolutely great, home away from home. Marcos and his staff are fun, friendly and help out when having questions. This beautiful house in Santa Teresa and its location couldn't be better, close by everything and the pool to dip in to start your day or coming back from a day in the city - what a treat. Will be back

GermanyNo complaints whatsoever!
I only got to stay for one night, but this hostel would be even more perfect for people staying a little longer. It's in a great location: walking distance from stores, the metro and the nightlife of Lapa, but also in a quiet neighbourhood, where you can relax in a very nice environment and enjoy the panoramic view of the city from above. The house is just beautiful and the pool is the best hangout spot after a day of sightseeing.

GermanyEverything was great!
I loved everything about my stay at the Rio World Connection hostel: The staff and especially the owner Marcos is super welcoming and makes sure you are having the best time while in Rio. He knows the city inside out and will give you tips on where to go and what to do - or even take you there personally. The hostel itself is just gorgeous (actually it's the most beautiful hostel I have ever stayed at). It is a beautiful old villa with a fantastic view of Rios bay and a refreshing pool. Trust me, there's nothing better than jumping into the pool after a hot day of sightseeing and to socialize with other backpackers. If you are looking for a beautiful, central place to stay where you can easily meet other backpackers and love a good pool party, this is definitely the best place to stay in Rio!

BrazilHad a great time at this hostel! Loved the chill vibe and the pool area is a cool spot to hang out. The volunteers are super friendly and Marcos, the owner, is a pro about the best parties in Rio. Definitely recommend for a fun stay in the city!"

IrelandAbsolutely brilliant new hostel right in the centre of Rio. A short walk to the bars and restaurants of Lapa and very close to the city centre. There's a beautiful pool which overlooks the entire city and loads of communal spaces to hang out with others. The staff are so kind and welcoming and it really felt like home. Also, had the most beautiful view for my breakfast this morning which you will find hard to beat anywhere else in the city. Highly recommend for a few nights in the city centre exploring Rio :)

ArgentinaStaff and owner were not really organized in general and did not communicate breakfast/pool time and hostel politics to us right when we arrived. Breakfast buffet was too small, lacking food for the number of guests there. My Booking reservation was also not registered in the system which took a bit of a time for me to arrange myself in the room. Staff also did not make the bed for us – that was not such a big problem but it was weird to me as in every hostel I went before I arrived tired from the trip with at least my bed ready to be used. They forgot to give one of my friend's bed pillow and the staff took a lot of time to bring it to her too. Fortunately I stayed in a spot in the room where the air conditioner was good (me and my friends also paid extra for it) but one of my friends was a couple of meters from me and complained about the heat in her spot. Another friend also had her black shirt bleached due to drops of hygiene products on the bathroom sink. Towels that I did not used or asked for were charged in my bill during checkout but at the the end I did not pay for those (of course). Volunteers did not know tips on what to do when we stayed there – except for Natalia, from Porto Alegre <3. At least in other hostels I stayed before I was provided a book or a flyer on the hostel's recommendations such as spots to visit and parties to go.
Loved the mansion, location and the pool there. My bed was also really good. Natalia, from Porto Alegre, was also the nicest volunteer that made sure our stay was the best as possible. She gave us some recommendations for places to visit and things to do, which other volunteers did not know.
