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.).

The hotel is in a strategic location, just a few steps from Plaza de Armas. The staff was kind and accommodating, allowing us to store our luggage both before check-in and after check-out. The room was a bit small and lacked a window, but it was still comfortable enough for an enjoyable stay.

The best room ever. I felt like a queen! Beautiful design, terasse, bathroom. Large room and beds. Extremely comfortable. I wish I had stayed there longer and just enjoyed the comfort, the view to main street. The great shower and shampoo. :) It is next to the plaza de armas. Absolutely central. Probably one of the best hotels I have stayed in for an affordable price.

The staff was super nice, the laundry service great price, they kept our luggage while we went to the titikaka lake and the breakfast is good too!

- • Stayed 1 night
- • Submitted via mobile
I had a pleasant experience overall, but there’s an Important detail to note: the hotel has two different locations. I was thrilled to find a good hotel at a great price near Plaza Mayor in Arequipa, especially after a long bus journey. However, I was disappointed to learn that my booking was actually at their other location, which is quite far from the plaza. Thankfully, they arranged and covered the taxi fare to take me to the other hotel, but the mix-up was frustrating. Just be sure to double-check your booking location before you arrive!

The shower room create a very dampy smelling after use. So prefer if air ventilation include. Steep stairs before going in hotel. We arrived at 5am, they made us wait until 11.30am for our room to be ready, despite told them that we’ll arrive at 5am. Still they made us wait for so long time, no offers for drink or etc. Wasn’t pleased with that.
Spotted some birds, wonderful experience and the room is nice and spacious. Breakfast is okay, nothing amazing. Nice coffee machine.

The bathroom can get a bit humid when showering.
The hotel is steps away from the main Plaza de Armas (Square). Tons of restaurants and stores nearby. The room was simple but comfortable, the staff made sure we were comfortable during our stay. The hotel has a very steep set of steps to the second floor where is located. We enjoyed the included breakfast.

My first night was not pleasant due to noises from my neighbors until 2 am. Insulation in walls is really poor. You can hear everything like if they are in your room. Breakfast could be improved. It is so basic. Bathroom was too small.
Location was perfect. Loved the historical building. Comfy bed. Price was affordable..Very nice staff.

The stairs to go up to the reception. The bad insulation of the walls ( you could hear your neighbor and noises were annoying) Breakfast needs to be improved. Very basic.
Location was perfect. Steps from the main Plaza. The colonial building is charming..the the Price was very good too.
