How much the guest score is worth
A score of 7.6/10, built on 1,561 reviews. With so many stays counted, no single guest swings the average much, which makes it a dependable guide.
In “Hostels in Porto” it ranks 26 of 27, sorted by score and number of reviews together, so a perfect 10 from one guest does not outrank a 9.1 from two thousand.
