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 reviewVery cool building with accommodating element like coffee stand, tourist attraction desk etc. Room was nice
Quite a noisy building due to size and soundproofing. Slightly cold in room too.

Verified reviewA hostel with a very pleasant atmosphere in a very stylish building. The location is, in my opinion, the best place to stay in Lima. The beds were large and comfortable. For a room for four people, there were two showers and a toilet in the room, which was quite an extra and wonderful.
I think the only problem is that the ground floor accommodations are cramped; if I were to stay longer, I would want a room with a more airy and spacious atmosphere, but for 1-2 nights it's fine.
Dear Semih, Thank you so much for such a thoughtful review! We’re really happy to hear you enjoyed the atmosphere, the style of the building, and especially the location — we agree, it’s a great spot to explore Lima. It’s also wonderful to know the comfort of the beds and the ensuite amenities made a difference in your stay. We appreciate your comment about the ground floor rooms; it’s helpful feedback and definitely something we’ll keep in mind. For a longer stay, we’d be happy to recommend a more spacious room next time. Hope to see you again soon!

Verified reviewGreat location, great value, very helpful staff, good sleeping pods. I'd stay here again. The bathrooms were as clean and odor free as a hostel can reasonable expect.
The room wasn't as clean as it could be, and I did find a couple silverfish crawling toward my bag whenever I opened it. The room I was in was very susceptible to street noise. Other rooms were probably better in this aspect.
Thanks a lot for your honest feedback! We're really happy to hear you enjoyed the location, the pods, and our team — and that you'd stay with us again means a lot 🙌 We’re sorry to hear about the room not being as clean as it should’ve been, and we really appreciate you bringing it to our attention — that’s definitely something we’ll follow up on with our team. As for the noise, some rooms do get more street sound than others, and we’re always happy to help find a quieter option when possible. Hope to welcome you back again soon!

Verified reviewEverything was very comfortable and clean, felt super well organized and fun. Lots of events and ways to meet new people
I could hear the parties from my room very well, even through the kindly provided earplugs. It was very difficult to sleep. Breakfast could have been better
We’re glad you found everything comfortable, clean, well‑organized, and fun, and that you enjoyed our events and opportunities to meet new people. Still, we’re very sorry the party noise made it hard for you to sleep—even with the earplugs provided—and that breakfast didn’t meet your expectations. We understand how important both rest and a good morning meal are for our guests. We’re already working on reducing nighttime noise by reinforcing our quiet‑hour policies and exploring sound‑proofing options. Additionally, we’re reviewing our breakfast offerings to improve quality and variety. Thank you for helping us improve!

We booked the suite, but the shower was never warm so we had to shower in the maintenance shower which was not very pleasant.
