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.).

CanadaThe pool was very small, and while I did not use it, it looked clean, and I did see others using it.
I stayed in a private room with ensuite and AC for 5 nights in early August. It was quiet at night, the bed was comfortable, and the AC worked well. The shower was small but did the trick. I liked that there was a lot of shelving in the room to put luggage on, so it wasn’t on the floor. The staff worked really hard to keep the entire place clean and it shows. Breakfast each morning was made fresh and was very good with good size portions. They have free filtered water in the kitchen. This place had great common areas with lots of different seating and a pool table. Great use of space! The location is a few minutes’ walk from the main square, but I never felt unsafe walking by myself as a woman any time of day or night. It wasn’t the most social hostel I’ve ever stayed in, but I did like it and would stay again.

The staff was AMAZING ! Are going out of there way to make our stay incredible. They even let us checkin at 9AM for much needed sleep after our volcano sunrise trip. The included breakfasts are awesome (3 choices, the pancakes are incredible). And they even agreed to make us granola yogurt for our departure at 4AM.

NetherlandsThere could be more kitchen ware available for guests in the shared kitchen, but we made do with what was there and it was fine.
Very welcoming, feels a little like a home away from home. My 4yo loved it too (they even had children’s toys!). Can’t beat this price point looking at location, facilities and breakfast included. Also, the turtles living on the premises are very cute. We loved it and regret not staying longer. Recommend 100%.

This is one of the smaller and not a party hostel in León which for me was a big plus. The staff laid out clear expectations to quiet hours and it was always observed. I had the top room at the end of the property so it was very quiet any way. In the front there is a bit of not obtrusive music throughout the day to brighten the mood. My room was very spacious and had AC which I recommend in León. Great old tiles in the room and bathroom. There is breakfast with 3 choices plus good coffee for breakfast. The small communal table invites to get in touch with other travellers. The kitchen was always clean and there is filtered water. The communal areas are throughly cleaned every day. There is a little gym on the rooftop, yoga mats are provided which I regret not having seen earlier. Shuttles and excursions can be arranged.
