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.).

United StatesA decent walk from the El Chalten bus terminal and the eateries/shops around it. You are on one of the main drags but on the far end of it. A very busy hostel (even when I went at the end of the trekking season) with the common areas being pretty noisy until 11pm.
A stones throw from the entrance to the Fitz Roy trek and Glacier Nat. Park. Large common area above and around the restaurant/cafe on the 1st floor by the reception desk. Facilities are pretty clean for the use they get. Around the clock staff at reception are very friendly and can answer most questions. Can also buy bus tickets directly from them. Despite being far up the main drag, still decent eateries and a grocery shop nearby.

United KingdomThe kitchen facilities were a bit tired, it wasn't the most sociable but that's partly because I was there in winter and a lot of El Chalten is pretty quiet at that time.
Friendly staff, good location next to the start of trails. Great bar next door with a lot of craft beer options. Nice social space and handy that the restaurant was 24hrs.

SingaporeRooms were a bit cold when we went and I wished there were hooks outside the shared showers for easy access to towels instead of stepping out in the cold.
The hiking trails are so near. The food at the hostel’s great. Friendly atmosphere and the place was clean.

GermanyThe bed made a lot of noise. Potentially that was just our room but whenever one person turned around, everybody in the room could hear it and it didn’t help to sleep very well.
The location is great to start all the hiking trails. The restaurant is also good cause it’s 24hrs and has super fair prices. There’s enough showers and bathrooms and the lockers are really spacious.

United StatesThe lockers were not very secure. My locker was falling apart and I could have easily opened it by pulling the door off it's hinges. Not great but also not a deal-breaker since everyone seemed very respectful of the privacy and belongings of others.
The facility is well-equipped and well-run. The staff was great and very responsive and they try very hard to clean up behind the patrons who leave a mess in the kitchen space or bathrooms. The only issues that you will experience are the standard issues with communal hostel-living so they were mostly to do with other people.

ItalyUnfortunately the rooms are not isolated well, so there was a lot of noise coming from common areas (bathrooms, kitchen) at any time, even during the night. Breakfast included is unfortunately rather mediocre.
Overall a nice solution for a couple of days for trekking, very close to park entrance. Possibility to have a meal at any time might come handy. Nice staff.

AustraliaThe female toilet doors on the second floor do not open fully, hitting the front of the toilet seat. If you were a larger person or have a small backpack on, you couldn't get through the door. I think this is a problem that needs addressing.
Everything was excellent bar 1 thing.

United KingdomShowers were cold and barely a drizzle, which isn’t what you want after a long hike. The kitchen was a bit grubby and not much in it to use - lots of empty space that could’ve held pots & pans etc
Friendly helpful staff, comfortable beds with plugs beside them and ability to change temperature with the radiator in the room. Also good sized lockers inside the room. Restaurant was nice and convenient, I also liked the upstairs lounge area.

AustraliaThe kitchens are tiny for the number of guests and not enough equipment. Hot water dispenser would be useful. Had to ask for another blanket for the bed. The toilet doors hit the toilet when you open it. It is such a squeeze to use them.
