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 KingdomIt was the most expensive place I stayed in a number of weeks travelling round Argentina. As soon as you book you get an automatic message from them saying you must expect to pay 25% more than you have booked for which was not a very welcoming message, though you are then given the option of cancelling. This is because they do not use the official dollar exchange rate as did every other place I stayed, but instead they use the MEP electronic rate.
This is a pleasant,well set up hostal with good common spaces

United StatesI highly recommend Hostal Schilling! I stayed here for 3 nights in a private room w private bathroom. Loved my stay here. The bedroom, common areas, patio, garden, dining area are very clean, well maintained. They provide decent breakfast, unlimited coffee/tea, soap & towel. They are very responsive via WhatsApp. They helped me quickly resolve the issue of my transfer back to the airport. It is centrally located, and a short walk away from cool bars, restaurants and downtown stores. I’ll definitely stay here for my future Calafate trip!!

Really nice staff, good breakfast (eggs cooked for you!), nice clean room. We only stayed a couple of nights but felt like a nice place! Bit of a hill up to the hostel but not far from main square and restaurants :)

AustraliaThe shower was terrible, only a drizzle. Can be noisy outside.
Staff were super helpful and lovely. They happily gave us another night of accommodation because our flight had been cancelled. Breakfast was great, and the common area was comfortable and had games and puzzles. The kitchen was also good so you can cook your own food if you want.

United StatesVery clean, comfortable bed, nice outdoor space where we enjoyed lunch and some drinks in the afternoon. We also liked the indoor spaces for resting and catching up on emails. The breakfast was good. We like the fact that we could store food in the provided refrigerators. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The kitchen was a tiny bit long in the tooth but it was fully equipped.

United StatesThe bathroom shower had problems with hot water, spitting and cutting off at times. The bedroom was also really noisy whenever anyone was in the hall or in the next room--even opening a cabinet door in the adjacent room was super loud.
This Hostal is in a great location, a block and a half from the main street where all the restaurants, bars, and shops are--just far enough to be quiet at night, but close enough to be very convenient. The staff was friendly, and breakfast was good, including eggs made to order if you wanted but no sliced meat. If you are going to do a day trip into the Parque, make sure to order a lunch the day before (cash only, but pesos are fine)-- the mini quiche is particularly good, and it comes with the chicken sandwich.

GermanyThe bathroom was very outdated and not maintained well. The showerhead was only spraying in five directions. The breakfast was very simple without much variety and anticipated basics, such as ham and cheese.
Very welcoming atmosphere with super nice receptionist, helping you in any situation and question. It is located only a few minutes from the main street giving it proximity but also a relaxed neighborhood.
