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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
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.
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.).

AustraliaThe cabana was compact and warm. Always hot water and excellent storage. Very good kitchen though could have offered a pot. The toilet a little small but we coped. The cabana needs a little work as some floor boards broken. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

United KingdomDownside was that the handle of our door was broken and kept falling off which was not great. We did ask the host to take a look at it, but nothing ever happened.
Good property, all you need for a couple of nights. Kitchen utensils were limited but did the job.

South AfricaThe site was not completely tidy, and parts of it were unsightly. Crockery was chipped and cracked and we didn't feel comfortable using it. We were expecting a "mobile home", but it was in reality more of a "gypsy caravan".
The friendliness / helpfulness of the host. The BUTCH restaurant next door was exceptional, and very convenient.

ArgentinaThe shower has almost no pressure. The toilet is too small and uncomfortable. I think the price is high for what you get, but everything is incredibly expensive in El Chalten, so difficult to say.
The location very close to the city center and access to trekkings. The cabin was very cozy and warm. The bed was very comfortable. Great space for luggage. You have kitchen and private toilet. The views around.

United KingdomVery expensive for what it is, but that's El Chalten for you. Very strong smell of gas in the apartment, but that also seems to be common in Argentina
Very clean. Good selection of kitchen utensils though it would have been useful to have cooking oil & salt n pepper at least. Very friendly helpful staff who came and fixed the heating when I accidentally turned it off

United StatesPot & pan old, no cover. Pillow too soft. Can get quite dusty. Toilet very small, won't be able to close the door but for solo traveller, it's ok.
White bed quilt seems like new, warm and comfy. Towel, shampoo and soap provided. Don't have to eat out daily as have fridge & stove. Ander speaks English, perfect for those who don't understand Spanish. He is very friendly and helpful, can easily reach out via WhatsApp. Good location, close to main street and bus terminal. Pretty quiet at night and early morning as compared to staying in hostel.

ColombiaIt had a bad smell (gas smell) all the time, and the last day the heating was not working, so the place was very cold.
It was near to the center of the town. The kitchen has all the apliances that we need. It would be better if it has some instructions about how to turn on the stove because there were only 3 matches and we ran out trying to turning on.

United KingdomThe WiFi did not work for us (at all), which caused a little trouble when looking at hiking routes and WhatsApp to bus companies etc. But free WiFi available at the square on the main road so not a big issue. Especially considering the area surrounding El Chalten.
The accomodation was in a good area, close to the main street and bus terminal. Was spacious in the bungalow, with a well equipped kitchen and a great shower. Great for the price paid!

We were only here for one night, it was super cozy and clean. Excellent location. Everything you need for a stay and hiking in the mountains. We wanted to stay another night. They let us store our bags when we left for a hike at 4.30am and were checking out that day.

ItalyVery dilapidated structure, we were on the trailer, very small, no bathroom, only a WC (you couldn't close the door, too small) and a mini shower. The only sink was the one of the kitchen, everything was very old, also the water heater, a scary gas powered boiler with an always lit on flame in the kitchen. In fact it broke down the second day, living us without hot water. The day after we had an excursion, they had to repair it and when we came back, after 12 hours trekking, we couldn't go in our room because the plumber was still working. We asked for another room but nothing was possible. Wifi was very weak. Very difficult to talk with owners, the only guy managing the structure couldn't make nothing, we asked at least a price reduction for all the inconveniences and all we got from owners was the offer of a free breakfast the morning we were leaving, we didn't even answer. Worst accomodation of our patagonia tour. I wonder how booking can accept this low level structures.
Position, close to main road

ChileThere is no water at all and showering is impossible!!!!. I regret it. 100%. It's not easy to get answers from the hotel. The person who goes to Fitzroy can't talk about the inconvenience because we work different hours. When I go up the mountain, there is no internet, and when Nya comes down from the mountain, he is at work and doesn't answer.
