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.).

IrelandMy friend and I had a lovely stay in the Happy Express Hotel. The owners and staff were exceptionally friendly and obliging. There is a lovely atmosphere in the hotel. Our bedroom was cleaned every day with fresh towels provided. The showers were hot. The hotel is within a 10 - 15 minute walk of all the main attractions. There is a small kitchen area with drinking water, tea and coffee, a fridge and a microwave. Thank you for making our time in Oaxaca very comfortable.

SwedenThe facility if a bit noisy, which I've learn is just how it is in Mexico. The water in the shower was extremely hot.
The location is great, both close to the centre of the city where you can find museums, beautiful churches, restaurants and travels agents. As well as to the Periférico bus station (and 20 min from the airport). The staff was very friendly and helpful. Very good value for the money.

NetherlandsVery friendly personnel! Comfortable room, nothing crazy, simply a good bed, a good shower, a small desk and space to put our luggage: Everything you need in a city hotel. We like the outside sitting area, for some evening chats. It’s a bustling part of town, close to the market, maybe 10 minutes from the main square.

AustraliaRooms face the courtyard which is incredibly loud with guest chatter. We were also on the ground floor and there’s a lot of tables in the courtyard where guests sit around.
Fine for an overnight before heading to the airport. The staffed ordered us a taxi for 4am which was helpful. Short walk to main Centro area.

The location of the hotel is great, and the hotel has a kitchen assigned to the guest which helps to keep the drinks cold. Also has a hot & cold water dispenser for coffee or tea.

MexicoWould have liked a refrigerator in the room (there was a communal area downstairs with refrigerator, microwave, toaster oven and coffee maker). WiFi was a little wonky sometimes, but the hotel said it was a temp problem they were working on.
Location. 3 blocks from main square and markets. Very clean. Had elevator which we needed. Relatively quiet for being in Centro.

I can only recommend this hotel - and try the breakfast in Café Alex (just a few meters away), they have lovely food for a great start in the morning.
