Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United StatesWe would have preferred if breakfast was available earlier than 8. The packed breakfasts for early departures were OK, but being able to have breakfast before 7:30 would have made one of our days much easier. We knew going in there was no heat in the rooms, which I think is common in San Pedro. The hot water bottles provided helped with that and we slept comfortably, it was just a little tough to get out of bed in the morning. Our impression is they are working on installing heaters in the rooms.
Loved the location near the main street in San Pedro. Staff were friendly and helpful, room was clean and comfortable, and breakfasts were good. We also enjoyed the outdoor living room.

AustraliaOnly drawbacks were at the time of our stay the heaters were broken, we knew about this and brought our own hot water bottles. other guest were loud outside our room early mornings and one night there was no hot water. It was what it was.
The staff were very friendly and accommodating. They provided breakfast for those who wanted and also went out of their way to provide snacks for one of our tours. The hostel felt safe, and very clean. The pool area is a nice spot to relax. I do recommend this place for the staff and close distance to the main street.

CanadaThere is no housekeeping without a fee until the 5th day which means you want garbage empty (for toilet) & sweeping its extra. Also to go breakfast not nutritional, nice they provide but small bread & cheese left over sandwiches from breakfast would be nicer than sugary cookies & 1 fruit. These made it a bit disappointing for the price. -also, Be advised if forgein card it automatically will charge 19% unless you have cash or wize. They cant help it, bring cash. They let me pay in morning after atm.
Secure. Very hot water and heavy flow to wash hair. Provides hot water bottle for cold nights as no heating in san pedro. Breakfast is good with fresh bread, yogurt, cheese, meat & fruit but 0800-1000. They are easily accessible by whatsapp and kindly stayed late to let me in at midnight due to transport problems.

AustraliaWe really enjoyed our stay at Hostal Hara. The team were warm and welcoming and met all amenities needs proactively, including confirming RSVP for breakfast, sending details in preferred language, and communicating about opportunities for additional facilities eg. Hot water bottles. Thank you Hostal Hara!

GermanyWe had a wonderful stay at this place. The rooms are charming, and the kitchen facilities are good. The staff is amazing - super friendly and helpful. The location is perfect: right at the beginning of the Caracoles street, which is the main street and is where one visits every day. Also, we were the first to be picked up for all the tours we went for. In short: much recommended.

United StatesLighting in the room is poor. While the rooms by the pool have an outdoor seating area, ours had none as we faced the courtyard and there was some noise in the evening and early morning of people coming and going. Not a big deal, but get a room by the pool if you can.
Convenient location near the center of town. The hostal is well managed by an excellent staff who were very helpful and accomodating. While the breakfast itself is pretty simple, the french bread that is served was outstanding and a welcomed change from the usual you get in Chile. The common areas are well kept and the guests were very interesting to chat with.

CanadaMy only complaint was that the WiFi was not available at some areas at the hostel, for example, my room and some benches at the back.
The breakfast was simple but very taste and fresh. The room was clean and comfy with a rustic atmosphere. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful. A family hostel. The location of the hostel is excellent, a few steps to the main street with restaurants , shops and drop off from tours.

Austria-we were travelling in summer so the room became quite warm even at night, however this is probably the case with most rooms in comparable hostels in San Pedro
-communication with staff was really easy, they were also very friendly and forthcoming -the location is great, only a few meters from the main street with all the restaurants -the swimming pool was nice for refreshing after a tour -there are several common areas, including a kitchen -although we had a private bathroom I also checked the common bathrooms and they were very clean
