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 reviewThe Hostel is in a quiet location in Miraflores/Lima. Around a 10 min walk to the next bigger central plaza. There are a lot of supermarkets, restaurants and other things you need. The Host in the hostels are super friendly and helpful, with all questions i had, especially Armando, Gustavo and Cielo :-) I can recommend this hostel.

Verified reviewGreat location in Lima, close to everything, and the hostel is clean with a nice chilled-out atmosphere.
Unfortunately, the pool was closed during my stay, and there was a large window above my bed that made it hard to sleep in.

Verified reviewI really enjoyed my stay here! The man at reception was super friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better. The pool was great with a good temperature. There are plenty of toilets and bathrooms in the hostel, and they were always clean. The only downside was that the dorms could have been tidier, as there were clothes and empty bottles lying around. But overall, it was a great place to stay!

Verified reviewLots of outdoor spaces to hangout, 3 on the ground floor plus rooftop patio. Little warm pool. Showers had great water pressure. Booked surf lessons and walking tours through the hostel and they were all great. Quick walk from the sea wall and fantastic sunset views. Air conditioning!!! Delicious breakfast for 20 sols! Inexpensive airport transfers
Had a bed behind reception which was fine and quiet enough most of the time but was woken up by a loud guest checking out at 4:30am. The guest was talking loudly for about 15 minutes - woke up entire 8 person dorm.

Verified reviewThe hostel's location is great for exploring some of the best areas of Lima even by foot. The common area is great for connecting with other guests but too small and noisy if you wanna chill for the day.
The kitchen equipment is basic and a bit dated, and the kitchen feels dirty throughout the day. It would be nice if the kitchen got cleaned more than once in the morning. The beds do not have power sockets close by or any space to place important personal belongings while you lay in bed.
We appreciate your comment. We want to clarify that the kitchen is cleaned regularly throughout the day, especially after peak breakfast hours. We understand that it may appear dirty at specific times, but we make sure to clean it as soon as guests finish using it. Regarding your comments about the electrical outlets, we want to let you know that all our beds have electrical outlets nearby for your convenience. We appreciate your feedback and hope to see you again.

Verified reviewVery clean hostel
Room 101 is on the ground floor so expect noise up until 12 and from 8.30 onwards Thery turn on the air con all night long and one of the bunk beds (mine in this case) was right next to the unit which is very unconformable They charge you in soles and not in dollars (rounding up the price) There's a 5% surcharge if you pay by card They do not accept 200 soles bills as claim that they might be fake (even if just withdrawn from atm) No alcohol purchased outside the hostel is allowed
Thank you for taking the time to leave us your experience, on the day of check-in we always offer payment options, such as soles, USD, by card or cash, it is up to the guest to choose the payment method that best suits them, thank you for the feedback
