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):
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.).

PolandFantastic hostel close to town. The rooms very very comfortable, with private bathrooms inside shared-rooms. Breakfast included in the price was VERY BASIC, it could definitely be improved, but it’s always nice to have something at the start of the day. The staff was very nice, you have beautiful view from the window and the common spaces are very clean, comfortable and overall super pleasant. I definitely recommend.

United KingdomThe shower cubicle so small, that unless you are a small child, the shower curtain will be attached to you as you wash.
El Chalten is expensive so this was good value for the area for a solo person who did not want share a dormitary. Very close to bus station. Included breakfast was limited but good.

ItalyThe bathroom is very small and the shower with a curtain put to fix the broken door of the shower box is awful. Lockers are ok in dimension but mine had mold in the wall so every time I opened it the smell was... well...
The common areas are fine and the breakfast is ok. Very well positioned: by walking 4 mins to the bus station, 10 mins to the sendero laguna torre start and 20 mins to the sendero laguna de los tres start.

United KingdomOur room was located next to the kitchen, which wasn’t ideal. The kitchen itself needed a deep clean. The vent hadn’t been cleaned in ages, and there were cobwebs on the ceiling. Flies were a persistent issue in both the kitchen and dining area during our stay, making it uncomfortable to cook or eat there. The breakfast was very basic: bread rolls, butter, jam, coffee, orange juice, and some cut oranges and apples. Unfortunately, like many hostels, the soundproofing was poor. The cleanliness also left much to be desired—there were cobwebs in the corners of the ceilings that the cleaners had missed.
This hostel is conveniently located, just a short walk from the bus station and close to everything in El Chaltén, which is a small town. However, the area is quite expensive, so I recommend bringing as many supplies as possible. We stayed in a double room with a private bathroom. The room was spacious, with good ventilation and a small window in the bathroom. It also had a radiator, though it seemed to be centrally controlled by reception as we couldn’t adjust it ourselves. On a positive note, the reception staff were friendly and helpful. However, I wouldn’t choose to stay here again. With ongoing construction in the area, I’m hopeful there will be more options in the future and that prices might become more reasonable.

United StatesReally enjoyed my stay here. The staff especially were super sweet and always a joy to talk with. The hostel itself is near the bus terminal, which can be a bit of a walk from most trailheads, but El Chalten is a small town so it wasn’t an issue. The bed I slept in was also super cozy. All-around a good place with even better people!

United StatesOne thing I didn't like was they didn't change my sheets even though they change everyday who stay for a night. I stayed 4 nights. They didn't do it for some reason.
It is a hostel so you shouldn't expect hotel service. Staffs were kind all the time and kept place clean as much as then could.

FranceThe room was quite small and about everything was broken or didn't work properly. The bathroom is flooded when you take a shower. Neither the door to the room nor the bathroom door closes properly. Curtains are torn. The bathroom is extremely small and there is nowhere to put your stuff. Breakfast is a little poor.
Nice vibe, close to the town centre, nice and helpful staff. Lockers in the room and decent beds. Chill place.
