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.).

PortugalThe wifi in my room was very weak. Old floorboards are very creaky and the walls are thin, you can hear everything next door. Also, there’s a creepy hole in the ceiling. They took 15 minutes to locate my laundry.
Nice laidback vibe and friendly staff. They helped me carry my heavy suitcase up to the third floor. My room was quite nice and comfortable equipped with a closet. The bathroom is spacious, has hot water and a nice view.

AustraliaThe bathrooms weren't super clean, but not dirty. The wifi didn't extend all the way to the room all the time, but it worked well in the common area.
Excellent location, just a couple of blocks from the centre of Potosi. The staff here are the real standout - they're so friendly and helpful! The rooms are basic, but the large common area is great to hang out. The breakfast is good value - fresh fruit, bread etc.

GermanyThe private room was spacious and comfortable. The staff was helpful—I had no warm water the first night, but they fixed it quickly. The location is great. While the room is a bit old and simple, it's perfectly fine for a couple of days. The breakfast could be improved, but it was okay. Overall, I recommend it!

The location. My private room had an impressive view of ‘Cero Rico’, Potosí’s ‘silver hill’. It was a large room with a comfortable and warm bed but little else. The two reception staff that I dealt with were very helpful and welcoming.

United StatesThe staff were not particularly friendly. The entire hostel is running down. The tiles on the floor are peeling and dirty. The bathrooms had very little privacy because two doors looking in have obscured mirrors so people are blurred but visible. The luggage storage is great but it is not secure as promised because they never locked the door. There are a lot of other options nearby similar pricing.
Five minute walk from the Casa de Moneda and Plaza 10 de Noviembre. The bedsheets seemed clean.
