Reading the guest score
611 reviews have scored this place 8.7 out of 10. That is a large enough base that a single rave or complaint barely shifts it, so the number holds up.
11 of 27 in “Hostels in Porto”, ordered by score and review count together, so one guest's perfect 10 cannot outrank a 9.1 earned over two thousand reviews.
