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 reviewI can't rate the wifi because I don't know if we had any. Even if we had wifi, I never really use it. I really like the friendliness in the hostess. He was polite and very talkative. The property does have parking on site, and it's free!
It was very cold the the days we stayed and the rooms had no heating. The blankets were paper thin, so we all slept with our jackets on. . .but for future reference, it's time to upgrade the rooms with some heaters. 😊

Verified reviewLocation is great, just about a block away from the beach. Staff was EXCELLENT. Hector is by far the most nicest and helpful person I have ever encountered in a place that I have stayed at. You can see the love for what he does. He makes you feel at home and is always willing to give you tips on your stay at Rosarito. His dogs are the friendliest. The place is extremely clean and comfortable. This is definitely my go to every time I go back to Rosarito. Thanks for the wonderful experience!

Verified reviewVery good location just less than a 5 minute walk from the beach. Really affordable price, and the bunk was comfy with a socket and headlamp. The owner was really nice so was the person working there. It’s a safe hostel for solo female travelers. Highly recommended.

Verified reviewI liked the location and the price. Also nice hammocks.
Sadly the owner was rude, didn´t care about his dogs that were everywhere all the time and scared people, grunted loudly, I stepped in dog poop once and i could see many more poops. The kitchen was nasty with many old things in refrigerator that smelled, and the kitchen is actually a tent with a gasoline stove not a real kitchen. People left food for long times also. Furthermore there were no cold water in th fridge, although clean water was accessible. They have a small gym that doesn´t work, and a pool that is not done but doesn´t seem to be on its way to be done either, (I never saw anyone work on it.) There is no security in the room, they are always open and no locks out to the street. Nice people lived there, but mostly mexicans, so not many like minded people.
Sorry for your inconvenience. De Alamo Hostel is a pet friendly Hostel. your neighbor had 4 small pets while you were here and not to mention the young girl that you kept harassing had a pet of her own in her room.. De Alamo Hostel is located in Mexico and yes they were many Mexican staying here during your visit. If you feel uncomfortable around Mexicans and feel that Mexicans are not like minded people. My advice to you is to take your business elsewhere and stay out of Mexico.

Verified reviewThe staff was really nice when I arrived.
I am a female solo traveler and didn’t feel safe when I arrived at this hostel. I don’t really understand the rating. I was alone in a dorm with 2 men much older and decided to stay somewhere else as I didn’t feel safe. I couldn’t find anyone from the hostel to inform them as there is no front desk. The area felt a bit sketchy, no proper lock on the door, a lot of constructions around, the beach nearby is really not nice. I wouldn’t recommend to stay here unless you have no other option.
We understand that you are upset because you weren't able to get your 25 dls refunded back to you. check in is at 1pm and you arrived at 8 pm. then you told staff at 10 pm that you were going out to get something to eat. the next day at 10 am you send in a text requesting a refund which was denied by booking.com because of the route that you took. advice to you and everyone that makes a reservation.
