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.).

United StatesSomethings that could be improved: 1. The pool jet is on only at certain times. It'll be nice to turn it on when you see people hanging out in/around the pool. That way the water is constantly moving and the debree from the trees doesn't just linger around. 2. One of the couch in the room is dented in and looks broken. Too scared to sit on it. We only use it to put our bags. 3. The room could use a painting or two it was big and plain. 4. For the higher price compared to many other hotels/hostels around, it will be great if we can get more/nicer toiletries and/or breakfast. We only get a soap bar and a few sachets of shampoos. Breakfast was the usual continental breakfast. Nothing special. We need the small towels in the bathrooms for multi-purpose.
Overall we enjoyed our stay at El Huacachinero. Somethings we liked: 1. The highlight was it was quiet and relaxing. There were not many people in this hotel as the majority probably opt for a cheaper accomodation or stay where the party is. We were not here to party. Rather we want to relax and enjoy the scenery. This was the best place to do that. If you want to party you can still have the option to do that but come back to a nice quiet hotel for a good night sleep eventhough the hotel is sandwiched between two party hostels that had loud music and drunk people until 2am. 2. We had the whole pool to ourselves with the sand dune in the background. It was amazing. We were able to soak in the desert scenery while in/around the pool without loud noise and crowd. The best hotels/hostels are one block away from the Oasis lagoon and not around the lagoon. The ones around the lagoon looks older. 3. The hotel was modern, comfortable, and it has a character. The hotel is much nicer in person because on the pictures it looks older and more basic for some reason. Get the room by the pool. It has good view and terrace. 4. The staff was nice. 5. Check out it at 12 which is later than most other accommodation. We were able to store our belongings after check out and hang out by the pool.

FranceSo much noise. Huacachina is a touristic place so there’s noise from the street and from other hotels partying. If you’re in the rooms in the main entrance then get ready to hear everyone pass by… wasn’t enjoyable

AustraliaFor the price we paid, it was the most in Peru so far and the least value, mainly with regards to our room. Our shower was pretty broken and old, the bed was also a small double bed which we struggled with. If you are susceptible to noise there can be noise heard from the wild rover next door and also the people coming in from nights out. I imagine the cost of the room is paying for being in the location of the oasis as most accommodations were quite a bit pricier than usual.
It is centrally located and has a nice pool area where you can chill and relax with a lovely view is the sand dunes. The staff were friendly.

United KingdomThe Wild River Hostel is right next the hotel and the music went on until 6:00am our first night. This is no fault of the hotel but perhaps better glazing would help. Also a room safe and hair dryer would be helpful.
This is a lovely hotel just off the lake area. During the day it is lovely a peaceful around the pool with great views of the dunes but very noisy at night. The staff are all very helpful and friendly.
