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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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):
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.
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.).

GermanyThere was a long-term guest who occupied a lot of space, on several levels. Was a bit too much at times but nothing that would make the place itself less beautiful. Also he should be gone at some point.
Nice room and lovely location with a spacious garden and two rooftops to watch the stars. The hosts are also really friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed staying there, it felt like a peaceful oasis.

MexicoI loved the trees, the multiple areas to rest and take in the fresh air from the trees, the mountain views. Took naps and saw the night sky in the terrace and met great people and activities like pizza on the charcoal grill. The staff was always very warm and happy to help with tips. I also rented a bike and went ride to the nearby towns.

United KingdomThe bathroom in the ensuite dorm wasn't cleaned daily like the communal areas...a minor inconvenience in an otherwise great stay.
Great hostal a stone's throw away from the main plaza yet quiet in the evenings. Bunk bed was comfy, room was clean. Really hospitable host who went out of his way to make everyone feel welcome. Kitchen is always clean, common areas are nice with enough space to socialise or relax on your own. I extended my stay by a couple of nights and would stay again. Definitely one of the better hostels out there. Highly recommended!

United KingdomWe understand no parties in the rooms - and OK with no food, but a bit disappointed we had to also sit outside for a nightcap. There is a table and chairs outside, so it's no real hardship - just a bit cold. But that is a very minor thing and did not spoil our overall stay very much
Nice clean rooms around a lovely garden with seating. Views of the mountains from the two terraces. Very friendly and helpful staff when we didn't speak Spanish. Good priced laundry service. Good location. A great place to stay whatever your age.

Wow! What a lovely hostel. The garden is simply stunning. Beautiful plants, interesting cactus. Figs, pomegranates, grapes growing right there. The owner is incredibly sweet and kind. She gave me fresh figs on check in. There is also a star-gazing platform with beds to lie on. Rooms are small but very comfortable. Right in the centre of town, two blocks from the central square.

IsraelAt night, the lighting on the paths turns on according to movement and turns off in a few seconds, and it is very dark. It's quite annoying.
Really beautiful hostel with a large yard with fruit trees and you can eat grapes, dates and figs from the trees. A beautiful and well-kept place with a lot of vegetation, very pleasant to be there. Manolo the owner is really nice and helps with everything. Good location close to the main square and the terminal

CuraçaoWarm water in the shower takes ages to heat and WiFi in some rooms is mediocre at best.
Friendly folks and loads of info provided, nice outdoor areas and a pretty good bed. Beware that rooms differ enormously, I changed after one night in a (because of the neighbours) very noisy room to one with a completely different layout, bathroom size and quality of both the WiFi and TV signal. It's basic but fairly priced.

United KingdomWell, no breakfast in the morning, and I discovered that the price was slightly lower on their tariff table in their reception rather than I paid on Booking.com, moreover, they do not accept cards but you must pay only cash. Entire thing was fairly dodgy to be honest.
Great location in Vicuna, it is very close to main square of the town, especially if you need to arrange your stargazing tour for Del Pangue or Mammaluca observatories, nevertheless I would suggest for the former. Room was quiet basic but functional for our needs.
