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.).

Nothing really comes to mind!
Lovely staff and squeaky-clean bathroom and room in a familiar environment. They were extremely nice and accommodating and let us store our bags for free for the 3 days we took to do the Colca Canyon trek. Great terrace on top that we could use to eat our own meals. Highly recommended!

I thought the description said there would be a shared kitchen. But that didn’t seem to be there. But still 10/10
Great place to stay! Very clean room and bathroom. Host is extremely friendly. She stored out bags during the colca canyon trek. Location is also very good. Everything is within walking distance. Free hot water in the hallway for tea all day long.

Not a criticism, just a note. Don't use the iron downstairs.. I had my own little firework show. Whoops.
Everything!! This hostel was bar far the nicest, most comfortable welcoming clean comfy hostel that we have been in to date ( travelling for 3 months) it's like they have thought of everything. Like a shelf in the bathroom, towel hooks, a cupboard, table and chairs in the room. Tea and coffee on hand all day ( no milk though lol, I'm your average tea with milk kinda person). The kitchen was super cute and tiny, and not to be taken for granted. This is in their personal space but you are allowed to use. The rooftop had fab view. A settee on the landing, so comfy. Marlon and his staff bend over backwards to be so helpful. Our room even had a bath..just saying. A couple of the other rooms may appear a little dark, but don't be put off. So so comfy. Very sorry to leave after 6 days. Still, we went Marlons place in Puno, and are as equally happy.

NEVER BOOK THIS PLACE. Place is a scam. I booked the place from 19 july 2024 and checked in on the 20th july 2024 and they told me that room is not available and made our family sit outside from morning 5 am till 12 noon.

Our room had a strange strong smell of eggs.We slept through it one night and in the morning we woke up with headaches.It was very unpleasant.Luckily the staff were able to change us to another room so we were happy.I would happily stay again aslong as my room doesnt smell like eggs. Also the shower in the bathroom was positioned in a way so the water would go onto the bathroom floor instead of in the shower.This was pretty annoying as the floor got pretty wet.A bathmat would have been great.
The staff were friendly and we were close to nearby attractions.The bed was pretty comfy.
