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.).

NorwayNot the cleanest place, quite dusty. Also didn’t seem to actually have registered our booking. Luckily they had one room available which we promptly snapped up due it being a Peruvian national holiday. High price compared with the standard of the facilities
Great location right next the the dunes

United KingdomThis hotel is a short distance from many hostels and the price is much higher. My room had window facing the street and the noise level from Tuktuk taxis and people was very loud. Breakfast was very basic considering the price of the hotel.
It was close to the Peru Hop bus drop off and main meeting point.

CanadaIn terms of the quality of the facilities and the rooms, the price didn't really match the expectations I had when booking. I feel it should be standard practice, especially when in the desert, to put a small fan in every room given that there is no air conditioning.
The best thing about this hotel is the location as it is right next to the sand dunes and in walking distance to the bars/restaurants in Huacachina. My partner and I stayed in a double room which was peaceful and quiet, making our stay relaxing and it is a main reason why we booked it. After hearing people complain of the rowdiness at nearby hostels we were definitely happy with our decision! The staff was friendly and accommodating.

United StatesThe pool could have been cleaner. The facilities are a bit dated and could use a refresh.
The location was perfect! It was quiet and just steps away from the main touristy areas, restaurants, and night life. AC worked great. The hotel restaurant had a good menu selection and the staff was friendly. Easy day trips included:3 hours to Nasca, 40 minutes to Ica vineyards and 1.5 hours to Paracas.

United StatesThe shower little risky, you have to go up the steps to get in the shower, the steps are small and slippery. The first night my foot got stuck in one of the steps since there is not enough space to step on it and there is a gap between the steps so peel the back of my heel. The second night trying to step side ways to avoid peeling my heel again I slipped on the step and felt very hard hitting my hip,shoulder and head with every hard surface on the way. When my girl came to rescue me she also hit my head when opened the door. Incas did better steps back in the days. The rest is fabulous.

NetherlandsShower didn’t work properly, but they let us shower in a different room (which also worked for 50%). Nothing to say about the service though, they also let us shower after our check out on the free room ( at this time the shower was working! )
It was actually very quiet which was nice, especially at the pool. Very friendly staff, who let us check in 6h prior to the actual check in time. Room was fine

United KingdomLack of sound insulation, kids talking and playing in the hotel sounded like they were shouting in my room. TV is 90 degree angle to bed and isn't adjustable, don't know how you can watch it. Electrics were dodgy, lights didn't work or bulbs flashed. No heater or extra blankets. I was expecting better for £61/night.
Staff were excellent, extremely helpful and spoke English ❤️ Amount of hot water was good. Breakfast was ok.

DenmarkUnfortunately there were a few things that were not satisfying for us. First, the staff did not speak a word of English making it difficult to check in and order our breakfast to go. We ended up having another guest helping us translating, and the staff promised us a take away breakfast, but in the morning the staff had no idea what we were talking about and we had to leave for a full day tour without breakfast (everything is closed nearby so not a chance to buy snacks to bring). Second, we had booked a room with AC, because I read in the reviews that not all rooms had AC. But the first room we were given was only with a fan, so I had to go down and change the room. That should be necessary, when I specifically booked and paid extra for an AC room. Third, there was no water pressure so very difficult to shower. All in all, we wanted to pay a bit more for a nice place. But we would have rather booked a much cheaper place, since we ended up with more trouble! For a one night stay I cannot recommend it unless you speak Spanish.
Great pool area!

PeruThis is not related to the hotel itself but the area is pretty touristy so food options close to the hotel are overcharged, the best thing is to bring groceries from outside Huacachina to get fair prices
Location, it was pretty good, just in front of the big dunes and oasis. You have a parking lot inside the hotel which is very handy. There is a great pool in the center of the hotel and the breakfast is ok: tea, juice, bread and fried eggs.
