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.).

AustraliaThis accommodation was great! Very clean, which is highly important. Great shower head, with good water pressure which has been hard to find in Mexico. They also do all your laundry for you within the day and leave it folded at your day complementary, it was soooo helpful especially when I'm on a huge trip with minimal clothes having to find a laundry mat takes a lot of time out of your holiday exploring. Great location, only a short walk into the direct centre of Centro. It had a BIG thing of drinking water which is lovely not having to buy bottled water. The self check-in was great because we arrived very late at night. I would highly recommend staying here, it was one of the best accommodations I've stayed at in Mexico so far!

United StatesThis is more so because I’m a solo female traveler and have to be extremely aware of my surroundings. The area immediately outside of the stay is fine, but walking toward the center of the city you will pass by the bus station and I felt a little uneasy at times. Overall walking during the day was fine, but as with most places, take a taxi once it starts getting dark!
This stay was beautiful! Easy self check-in and easy to find. I loved the rooftop and wish I could have spent more time up there. The room was cozy and I slept so well in the bed. The shower was incredible too!

NetherlandsSome cushions on the sun loungers on the roof top would be nice, but other than that this place is perfect!
This is easily one of the best places I’ve every stayed at. The superior double room on the ground floor (room 1) is way bigger than the 20 sqm as described on Booking.com, beautifully decorated and has everything you need and more. There was complimentary water, coffee, tea, snacks, juice, milk etc. Nice detail was the room diffuser (scented sticks) which of course depends on your taste if you like it or not but I loved it (I believe it was a patchouli blend). The bed is super comfortable, the rain shower is very warm and has a lot of pressure. The room has 2 adjacent (private) little patios which you don’t really use but it just looks beautiful and allows for a lot of fresh air to come in. I read some comments about the noise at night but I barely heard anything and I had both patio doors and the bathroom window open all night. Communal roof top and co-working space downstairs have same complimentary snacks as the room (plenty of water). The laundry service is also complimentary (which I have never seen anywhere else) and they even hang dry your shirts if you don’t want them to put them in the dryer. Location is indeed a bit of a walk to the center but I didn’t mind at all, it’s perfectly safe at night as well. Cannot recommend this place enough!

FranceQuite noisy, on both nights we had either really loud bird chirping or dogs waking us up (not on the premises but outside). They provide ear plugs so it was OK for me but not so much for my wife. It's also quite hot in the rooms and there's a fan but no A/C.
The communication through WhatsApp/ booking is great. The rooms are as shown on booking and feel nice although not super premium. The terrace is a real bonus.

United KingdomThe room doesn’t have AC, only a fan and we found it got pretty hot while we were there. The fan helped but it just didn’t ever feel like the place cooled down
Liked the location, in a more local neighbourhood which was quieter while still being a short walk to the centre. Really loved the rooftop and the room was lovely too. The laundry service was brilliant too :)

United KingdomThe lack of air con meant it was a bit warm but a decent fan in the bedroom made it bearable. About a 15 minute walk to the central square but taxis are always available and affordable.
The host was super helpful and responsive and the room itself was spacious, stylish and clean. Lots of nice little touches, like complementary cereal, coffee, juice etc in the room. Lovely roof terrace with views of the mountains too. They offer a free laundry service too.

We booked 2 rooms, we love the one on ground floor which is much bigger with nice full equipped pantry space with big drinking water dispenser. We also like bathroom and sitting area in outdoor space. Laundry complimentary is such a great help for us, it is quick and neat! Clean spacious roof top is a plus.

We absolutely loved our stay at Casa 821! The interior was beautifully designed, and the amenities were thoughtfully provided. We especially appreciated the kitchen/bar and rooftop area, which gave us the chance to enjoy a relaxed dinner at home during our trip. The free laundry facilities were a great bonus, especially as we were travelling for a few weeks. Although Oaxaca was very hot during our visit, the fan kept us comfortably cool-particularly at night. The host was responsive and helpful throughout our stay. Our only regret is that we didn’t stay longer!

CanadaThe echoes from doors closing due to not fitting perfectly was a tiny bit noisy and the bathroom faucet was a little loose. Neither of these things were serious and earplugs were provided that I didn’t need. The door locks were basic but I felt safe enough due to the main entrance lock and the area felt safe.
Clean, spacious, well designed place with very nice terrace and common areas to have a morning coffee and snack or evening wind-down. The room was so comfortable and clean. The fan and opening windows before sleeping made a cool enough sleep. I loved the self check in process as an introvert.
