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.).

ArgentinaThe breakfast to go wasn't really a breakfast and the first day it wasn't ready on the time of our departure. Restaurant hours could be a little more extended. The receptionists were much colder than in the rest of Peru.
I liked the girl in the restaurant and the dinner menu, as well as the centric location. The room was beautiful and spacious with a great shower.

CanadaLocation.... being that it's located right on a main street, there is lots of noise from bars, street performers, and tourists into the late evening hours. If you are a light sleeper, consider bringing earplugs.
Great location, right in the centre of all the action. Easy to get to the plaza de Armas, the monastery and other happening spots in the city. Location really cannot be beat.

CanadaThe paint in the bathroom was peeling. I felt it was a little expensive for what I got but the location made up for that. I did feel that the included breakfast made up for the extra cost but I had to leave early for the airport and I missed the breakfast.
Maison Vertre was very nice, nicely decorated and comfortable. It was very well located in the heart of the old historic part of the city well within walking distance of anything you could possibly want. I enjoyed my stay there.

United KingdomThe bar is not very functional, and the staff don't really have any concept of what would make it so. Our first day some of our party were refused vodka shots- as they ONLY sell Pisco shots. There was a group of 15+ people who placed orders for pisco sours before our group (2ppl) asked for vodka sodas, and we were told that our drinks would be made after the 15 other drinks (that were being made one at a time). Not a huge problem, but after that we said thanks but we'll just go somewhere else and the waitress said she had to ask her manager before we could leave? So just more training needed for those behind the bar.
Room was comfortable, staff on the door were extremely nice and helpful. The decor around the place was extremely nice, generally a pleasant atmosphere. REALLY close to the center which is awesome.

BelgiumI arrived late at night, and it was clear that the staff was not pleased to check me in at that hour. Early the next morning, renovations began in the hostel with loud banging and grinding, filling the entire place with dust. The breakfast was very minimal and disappointing. The only positives were the location and the fact that they allowed me to adjust my booking from three nights to just one. I wouldn’t stay here again.

PeruMy room had a private separate bathroom. The bathroom was very dirty, not cleaned after previous guests at all (they cleaned it after I mentioned). Moldy walls in shower. Mattreses and pillows are super old and all yellow and dirty, very hard to sleep. The place itself is noisy because it’s a hostel, but moreover all the noise comes from outside and doesnt stop at least before midnight.
Great location, though very noisy at night Nice terrace for breakfast. Good breakfast

South AfricaVery noisy, but well located. The rooms aren't very sound proof and you need to ring a bell in order to be let in. This means that people ring the bell throughout the night, causing lost sleep. I suggest the owners provide a WhatsApp number for people to contact between usual sleeping hours (10pm-7am). Also, people chatting in the reception from 5am will wake you up. My room had a leaking tap with a constant, high-pitched "eeeeee" sound that drove me to insanity. Only hot water in the bathroom. Breakfast is very basic. For a vegetarian, you'll get toast, cheese, jam and instant coffee. Room is not serviced daily.
It's located close to the central town square with many tourist attractions. The bed was comfortable enough and place was clean.
