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.).

ArgentinaThe location is not that great as mention on website. It is far from the center and not on a walkable distance. Not worth spending 20000 pesos per night.
It was a good stay. Had a private bathroom.

FranceThe kitchen was absolutely disgusting, with rotting food everywhere. The fridge was not usable because of this. The wifi connection was also really bad. Also the staff was rarely there if you needed help and there were issues on the price they asked for which wasn’t what was shown on our booking reservation.
The house is pretty, and the room spacious. The price point is also good.

AustraliaRooms and ammenities are very basic. Beds weren’t the most comfortable and shared bathrooms were very average. Location wise it’s a little further out but still walkable and fine. Had to pay in cash with no option for card.
Offered wifi that worked well for the most part. It’s one of the cheaper options in el calafate for a reason.

United KingdomNot a chance to get sleep at all as this hostel was so loud . They say quiet time is 11 but things are loud past then. Then music starts at 8am . We slept maybe 4 hours a night. And good thing we had sleeping mats because the beds were so hard. Mine smelled of sweat . Bring your own toilet paper too .
Location was okay . Staff was really nice and extremely helpful . We really cannot say enough good things about how kind the staff where.

United Kingdom- No toilet seats on any of the toilets - Toilet did not flush at all in one of the female bathroom stalls and in the only male bathroom stall - No soap in the bathrooms - Carpets are only cleaned superficially and under the bed not at all. We brought the latter to their attention after we moved the twin beds together and they cleaned it right away - You can clearly hear sounds coming from the common area when in the bedroom. Staff generally leave music playing in the common area which does not get switched off even after midnight. We did switch it off however - The kitchen is very poorly equipped with few pots and pans (and most of them missing handles) and few cooking utensils. People often had to queue to use the same pan - There were no allocated spaces in the fridge so it was always chaotic
- Just outside of city centre and very close to Laguna Nimez - Clean bed sheets - Shower had hot water and good pressure - Miicka, one of the staff members, was super warm and welcoming

ArgentinaThe attention was really bad. When we arrived they mentioned we can ONLY pay by cash they did not accept even a bank transfer. They did not want to respect the price that was accorded by booking. Then the owner Raquel said we have to pay the price that we had in Booking with the taxes but only cash. FYI this is completely unfair they request cash and taxes but they do not declare that income money so why the taxes? We requested a receipt and the owner denied. Very very bad attention and absolutely wanted to get advantage of the tourists. Be aware of what you pay and my suggestion is if you are in doubt ask another Argentinian tourist for sure they will be able to give you an advise.
The Hostel is closed to the centre
