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 reviewFriendly staff, good location close to everything you'd need. The terrace is nice.
While the terrace is great it can be a bit nosy and the double room was beside it, supposed to close at midnight but not something that's enforced. Stayed for 4 nights and room wasn't cleaned.

Verified reviewFriendly and helpful staff
The hostel felt very dirty and run down. The bed mattresses were terrible and very worn, the communal areas were dirty and cramped and I didn’t enjoy my stay.

Verified reviewWater was off, meaning sinks, toilet and shower. Understand it’s beyond staffs control but there was no warning before we arrived or once we arrived of when the water would be off, and they did not know when it would be back on.

Verified reviewNice vibe. Hot water heater right in the bathroom. The breakfast at 10 soles is worth it.
I stayed in the private room. The “private entrance” is you ring the doorbell, someone lets you in then you walk past them and others to your door. There’s a “tumble dryer” in the description but there isn’t one. The laundry is a washing machine that you use yourself for 5 soles a kilo then hang it to dry (if there’s sun it might) The laundry outside the hostel is 5 soles a kg. They do it for you and dry it and all.

Verified reviewDecent price Good WiFi Comfy rooftop
The hostel is right next to a main road, there was honking car horns all throughout the night and it honestly felt like it was in the room. There's no proper wall separating the hostel from the road, just a wooden garage door so it let's in all the sound. Really need to add sound proofing or don't have a bed right up against this door/wall (my bed was the closest to it so better night's sleep might be had a bit further back) The kitchen is not well stocked and needs additional cutlery and plates etc

Verified reviewIt was very loud because of the party outside our room. We were afraid of our belongings and even our selfes. Even bed was dirty so we could not sleep comfortable at all.
