How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

There almost nothing about it that I disliked.
My time, at the hostel, in JBR Dubai was truly wonderful. The staff provided hospitality going the mile to ensure I had a pleasant stay. The cleanliness of the place was outstanding creating an welcoming atmosphere that made me feel at ease. The location couldn’t be better super near to the tram which makes it easy to get to nearly anywhere in dubai plus with ease access to the beach and JBR the walk. What is more the price was incredibly affordable offering great value for the quality of service provided. Highly recommended!!

Nothing really was bad
During my stay at robin beach hostel, i encountered a very nice staff ( Mustafa, abo bakr) Mustafa is the hostel manager and he was very friendly polite person and really has a very high standards regarding hospitality. I have never encountered any issues regarding cleanness of the premises, the included IPTV and warm guests create a cozy environment perfect for someone who is introvert or for business/work reasons. Abo bakr is the cleaning boy and honestly he is a great character and smiling always and i hope them all the best .

The only problem was people there, one guy was super loud at night, he did not respect others. Loud music, talking at 3 am. Im not giving less stars for that cuz its not hostel fault but this guy should be out and he was basically living there.
Hostel is rly nice, beds are comfortable, nice living room, free laundry, good location.

Super friendly staff and definitely a small hostel with more of a flatmate/coliving vibe than individualistic approach. Loads of residents live there long term that also helps to create the atmosphere.

Many guests booked the hostel for just a couple of nights, next time stay longer.
It was a wonderful week at the hostel! Great location, the hostel itself is very clean, and there is always a friendly atmosphere among the guests. In the evenings everyone gathers to watch movies or chat on the balcony, I really enjoyed being part of the friendly Robin Beach Hostel family.

Depends on the people staying there, at times it can get noisy till late night. The manager does intervene to get the volumes lowered. I had paid for the bigger room but I realised a few days later that I had been allotted the smaller room My stuff kept in the shelf allotted to me was randomly moved twice to somebody else's shelf. I stopped using it then.
The property and the location is excellent. You cant be in a better area than this in Dubai. The apartment is well maintained and cleaned several times in a day. The manager Mustafa is responsive to all the needs. Met some amazing people there. The washing machine is free to use.

I’ve never been to such a luxurious hostel before! They even let me run several loads of washing for free 🥲🥲. The views from the apt were breathtaking. Still can’t believe my luck, thank you guys!
