How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewcentral located and easy walk to city centre. The owners are very kind and helpful, it was nice to chat with them breakfast is good. Bathroom has shampoo and shower gel. Heating is working at night (we were there in Winter). We could leave our stuff after check-out
maybe a bit more of food variety for breakfast, like jam, marmelade

Verified reviewThe hospitality of the host was exceptional. I needed to take a bus at 6pm to Ushuaia, so I told her no breakfast for me as it was too early (I took two pieces of banana to have them in my room in the morning). Surprisingly, when I came down to the lobby to leave about 5:15am, she was there, handing me a breakfast bag and asking me if I wanted coffee. Thank you!

Verified reviewVery nice owner. Very accommodating. 1-1/2 blocks from Bus Sur station, 3 blocks from large grocery store (unimarc)
On a bright and busy street. We had the family room whose bay window faced the street. Curtains did nothing to keep out light. Had to sleep with eye mask and earplugs.

Verified reviewMarie is a really nice host. She got up early to serve us an early breakfast before we left early for a penguin trip. She also organised a taxi for us. Its a great location, the restaurant over the road is good. Its very close to the bus terminal (you can see it!) and the centre of town.
The rooms are bit dated. The pillows could do with replacing and the blind let in a lot of light in the morning. Its very homely though.

Verified reviewGreat value for the price. Quiet. Not far (walking distance) from the center of the town. Breakfast was better than in nearby restaurants. One warning though: do not park your car on the street in front of the hostal as the space is reserved. Park on the driveway.

Verified reviewThe owner was very nice and very helpful to help us find stuff to do when our tour was canceled for bad weather. She answered all our questions and helped with everything we needed during our stay.
The kitchen could be a bit more clean and tidy.

Verified reviewBeautiful homestay hostel with such lovely staff. We felt straight at home after 24 hours travel. Our room was big, bed was very comfortable, shower was hot with fantastic pressure. TV in the room is a nice addition. Breakfast was simple but perfect for us and delicious - tea/coffee/juice, breads, spreads, cereals, cake, cheese/meats. Highly recommend staying here.
