Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

PolandI wish it had a kitchen, the water in the shower is hard to control, it’s either freezing or scorching hot, I wish there was a mirror in the room. Unfortunately the noises of other people talking and having music kept me up till 11pm. WiFi only works in the lobby.
Amazing location and the view.

United StatesThe location is easy to access, if you walk along the shore from the main San Marcos dock. Through the city/alleys, it can be a little more difficult to find. They provide entertainment through live music or trivia nights, books and games, etc. Very fun place to stay. We stayed in a private room, which was spacious and comfortable!

ColombiaMy first bed was not really comfortable, but I asked to change and they did. No yoga was happening, and this was something I really wanted.
The place is in front of the lake, with an amazing deck. They organize events every night, and due to Holy week we have amazing music presentations, it was great! Breakfast is delicious, they have happy hour with very good prices from 3 to 7pm, and they didn't charge me any extra fee (what is super rare in Guatemala) for using my card. In general I really really loved the hostel. The location is great, and a lake view was everything I needed at this point of my trip.

Awesome location. So beautiful to sit down at the bar and look out across the lake. Nice vibe and lots of social activities going on. Happy hour, great bar, good little restaurant. Staff mainly all volunteers but very nice.

United KingdomThe fist night I stayed in a dorm room and it was fine. The next two nights I stayed in a private room and it was so noisy. The staff who were staying above my room talked so loudly until the early hours. Also, I think the room was next to some kind of downpipe and that was also really loud. Also, no hot water for the shower.
Good breakfast, nice location, lots of activities and events, really good for young travellers.

TaiwanIt's a very busy place with foreign backpackers volunteer working there which resulted in poor service at times. The Guatemalan staff were friendly and helpful.
The location on the lake is great. There's a small sauna which was free the day I was there. The shower had hot water.

United KingdomThe staff seems to be somewhat disorganised and seem to be learning the ropes. They mixed up about three drinks and food orders while I was there. They also left me waiting to be served food for over an hour as they had forgotten about me.
I like that the hotel restaurant was overlooking the lake and that they organise a barbecue with live music. People there were also very friendly. I need a couple of local with Home. I shared Green for about three hours.

CanadaNothing worth writing about. Everything can be solved and managed if you ask the staff.
Big, beautiful hostel on the lake, like it's own little village. The main area is comfortable and beautiful, with a firepit to enjoy in the evenings. The bar/terrace area is well equipped and really comfortable. The views from the terrace are unbelievable! Location is perfect, and it's easily accessible. The staff are fantastic and will happily help you with anything you need.

SwitzerlandI had a top bunk and my bed was tilted so it felt all night that I'm gonna roll out my bed. Also the dorm is quiet far away from the main building. The dorm is right next to a semi busy street so it will be a bit loud untill midnight.

SwitzerlandNot good for people that don't like dogs. Dogs are literally everywhere, in the bar, in front of your room door, laying in the seating bags, this leads to dog smell everywhere. If you pay in card they'll cover you 5% more so keep in mind to have enough cash. Unfortunately we also had to deal with loud drunk people in the sauna, coming back late and waking up early. Probably the outcome of a lack of rules. As a place dedicated to a chill yoga environment it was a bit out of place that we had to remind the staff of that.
Location next to the lake provides nice views. Sauna on sundays for free. Staff was mostly friendly and looking for solutions. Calm zone of the city, no car noises.
