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.).

PolandI had a great stay in La Casa Bonita! Hostel is well meintened, with cool social space, kitchen and even a small “shop” where you can buy snacks and beverages in good prices. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Oscar is a great guy, taking care of all guests in his place. Thank you! 😊

United KingdomLocation is quiet and good for the bus station but is far away from the centre (20 min walk). Balcony is also nice.
Amazing place to stay in La Paz, Oscar the host is fantastic and super helpful in every aspect. He goes out his way to ensure you have everything you need, providing information about yours/transport, changing currency and sorting luggage whilst on tours. He even let us sleep downstairs when our night bus arrived super early! This place does feel like your own home, cooking facilities, cosy blankets on beds, and warm showers. Also has laundry at a fee

New ZealandWe absolutely loved our stay at La Casa Bonita. The entire property is extremely homely and comfortable, it has a full shared kitchen which is very hard to find in La Paz, and the rooftop has incredible views - perfect for chilling during the day! What really made our stay was how friendly, kind and extremely helpful the host, Oscar, was. He always greeted us with a smile, had great recommendations, helped us book in several activities and always was available to answer any questions we had. He is one of the best hosts we have had in our 5 months traveling around South America! Thank you so much! We hope to return to stay with you again sometime in the future and we highly recommend to everyone else to book their La Paz stay at La Casa Bonita!

Perfect location in the center of La Paz, next to the bus terminal. The rooftop has an amazing view of the city, and the host, Oscar, is hands down one of the kindest person I came across in Bolivia.

He speakes great english as well. Offers a lot information about LaPaz and things to do there. There is a kitchen and a little 'store' to buy drinks and snacks. Drinkingwater is provided. Hot shower. Location very close to the bus terminal, which is very convenient.

United KingdomIt does get very cold in June and the shower temperature was uncomfortable but this is negligible, plus soap shampoo and towels are provided.
The service was the best I have received in any accommodation, hands down. We had two separate stays either side of a trip to Uyuni. Our host let us store our luggage in the accommodation during our trip, check in early, check out an hour later after I had a misunderstanding, booked our Cholitas wrestling activity despite short notice and the WiFi in the area going down, and let me use contactless payment for everything when an ATM swallowed my card. There are all sorts of games in the common area and a shop to buy snacks. The laundry service was a good price (20 BOB), already has detergent, and there is space on the roof to dry clothes.

Its close to one of the sky lifts and walking distance to the centre with a all the tour operators. A little oasis of "Paz" in La Paz. It really felt like a home away from home. Higly recommend!
