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.).

ItalyMy experience at Che Lagarto it hasn't been oustanding . Staff wasn't really empathetic , bathrooms almost all the time dirty due to the amount of people ( I suggest to clean more often during the day ). The facilities were okey but, specially one kitchen , really messy . Location is good, really close to the main bus stops.

IsraelI wanted to longer my stay in the hostel, I paid in the property because there wasn’t place on booking. Then my plans was changed and I asked to cancel my nights and get back my money. They didn’t give me back the money, even no a little bit of it. So if you longer your stay, do it just through booking!
Great facilities, great rooms, very clean, very nice pool and the workers was very nice.

Israeltwo from the staff 1. blonde girl, 2. guy with a long hair. i dont know their names, but they weren’t nice at all, i think its because my spanish/portugese was a little bad, so they were rude and it felt like they dont want to service us. one night the shower had a problem, when you touch the thing that you spin to release the water, gave little electric shock and the water was with chlorine, we told this problem to the blonde girl, she just wrote something in her notebook and didnt even try to give us any solution like show us where the other showers are.
it was nice and clean, very simple and cozy, very live atmosphere and good location. there was this friendly two staff: Fernando was very nice and very welcoming, tried to help at everything he could, I dont know her name but she wear glasses and with dark hair, she also was very nice and very welcoming.

United StatesStaff wasn't a friendliest. But the worst thing was probably the most disgusting pool water I have seen. Not clean at all, many strange particles floating in it. I'm not sure why they are not cleaning it because it has a filtration system. Somebody needs to change that water fast. Not the best Che I've seen.

RomaniaSome of the stuff was extremely rude. Also others didn't even bother to answer some of the questions I had about the boat trips they were selling. There are 4 toilets in the whole hostel so there was a queue no matter what time you tried to take a shower or use the toilet ( they were together). Almost always they were discussingly dirty. Very noisy hostel. In theory they turn off the music at 11pm, but people still talk really loud, banging the doors and no one is doing anything about it. I was assigned in the 4 people room and was extremely small. The under the bed closets was rusty and dirty.
The breakfast was nice, it's really close to the bus station, they have some nice hammocks you can chill in

United KingdomThe staff weren’t very helpful and seemed a bit annoyed to be asked questions about activities etc. maybe it is because a lot of European and international clients can be rude and drunk a lot of the time but we were very respectful and just wanted some advice/ help booking surfing and boat rides
